Xmas frustration
I’m a little pissed off at the moment.
You see, I hate Christmas. I really, really can’t stand it.
I hate the songs they’re playing all the time. If I have to listen to one more “White Christmas” or “Last Christmas” or “Jingle Bells” or – even worse! – any more german Christmas songs, I will shoot somebody. Seriously.
I hate all that religious babble that no-one in their right mind can take seriously anyway. I know it’s not politically correct to say that I think all religion is idiotic drivel, especially not at this time of year when everybody and their dog goes to church again for once – just to salve their guilty conscience. But there you are.
I hate the fact that everybody is pretending to be nice all the time. I don’t really like nice people all the rest of the year, but usually you can just ignore the few you meet here. But now they’re coming at me from all sides, smiling their artifical smiles and wishing me all the best – yuck, it’s unbearable! Where is my flame-thrower when I need it?
I seriously hate Christmas trees and those fat little angels and the nativity scenes and all the other atrocious decorations that you can’t escape anywhere at the moment.
I hate the fact that my mom feels the obligation to cook huge meals every day now, and then feels offended when I say I’m not hungry at all. How could I be after all this chocolate?
And what irks me just as much is the coming of New Year’s Eve. Another one of these artificial festivities where people feel the need to be happy and to have a party, although it’s just another bloody day of their miserable little lifes. And I bet my parents are gonna demand that I stay up until midnight with them, to watch non-existent fireworks and toast a wonderful new year 2007.
The hell I will. I’d rather poke my eye out with an unsharpened pencil.
Why can’t they all just leave me alone, perform their preposterous rituals somewhere else and let me enjoy some quiet time on my own, for fuck’s sake? It’s bad enough that there’s nothing on t.v. all the time.
