Slog - Comments on Dreading Christmas? Start Looking Forward to New Year's Eve http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/12/dreading_christmas_start_looking_forward I totally hate Christmas. It's really boring, especially because I'm not Christian and everyone else is, so I just have to sit around, maybe clean the apartment a little. Yawn. (Although last year was fun because me and a few friends snuck a bottle of champagne and a bottle of OJ into a showing of Dreamgirls. That movie is great if you are drunk and accompanied by smart, sassy gays fresh off a Paris Is Burning kick.) Anyhow, whether you love or hate Christmas, now's the time to start planning for New Year's. A lot of the funnest parties are...

I'm not Xtian either, and usually deal with Xmas by sitting around getting schnockered. A really big-assed boring fucking day.

Who doesn't like getting presents for no good reason?

I am an atheist and my wife is some sort of pagan or atheist depending on when you ask her. We still celebrate Christmas.

Christmas rules. Having a freaking tree in your house rules. Presents rule. Most importantly, family traditions rule.

Get over yourselves and get out there and help take the Christ out of Christmas. It's what Bill O'Reiley wants you to do.

Christmas is great. I get to spend two days with my extended family, with whom I get along very well. I get a bunch of presents and food and cookies, we watch some movies, we play some board games, we eat some more food, we go downtown for the midnight church service, and I can sing all my favorite Christmas songs without worrying how much I suck at it (which is a lot). Oh, and I also get half the week off of work, which means more time for Zelda. In conclusion, Christmas is fucking awesome.
