Christmas is evil?

[NotAllThere]

Christmas is evil because it's nothing more than a Christian corruption of the pure unsullied pagan Saturnalia festival.

The trouble with the 'political correctness gone mad' brigade is they forget how far we have come by having a bit of sensibility.

... And the idea of a comic performer like Little Britain’s Matt Lucas being openly out would have been unimaginable, however absurdly camp his onstage persona...

...

But he's still crap.

Christmas is evil because of Cliff Richard.

Christmas is evil because it discriminates against moslems, and because I never got any good toys as a kid

Christmas is only evil if you have expectations.

NO EXPECTATIONS, NO DISAPPOINTMENTS.

(Unfortunately kids don't understand this, and in a social environment such as school, etc. they build up an expectation from comparing with their peers. Sadly life is not a level playing field and therefore Christmas can be a good time for some, but a bad time for others).

Christmas is evil because it glorifies the Brussel Sprout, which is the work of Satan. Everybody knows that.

Rubbish - Sprouts are the best thing about Christmas Dinner

And all you Bah Humbugs.... get a grip!!!

Chrstmas is what you make it. If you want it to be miserable it will be.

I... don't... believe... it!

Britain is the only country on Earth where people eat sprouts. Everywhere else uses them for animal food!

They are the toxic, poisonous growths from a vile weed and when I rule the world (all I need is a small tank and an unruly mob), they will be banned. Banned I say! Anyone found growing or distributing them will be shot. Twice!

Oh good. You've renewed my belief in the power of misery.
