Arista anyone ever tell you that you can be so depressing at times? I'm not a huge fan of Christmas but some people are, so let them enjoy it for what it means to them.

Christmas can be a sad time for a lot of people. Not everyone will enjoy it but that doesn't mean you should bombard your negativity and unhappiness on to others . Let them enjoy it instead of putting a downer on it. Christmas isn't just for children. They most probably won't understand the back log to it but none of the less.

[REye]

Yes you do but I think what that poster is trying to get at is why dampen others happiness. I think it would be better to let others enjoy it. It's very dampening when you're in a great mood then someone has to be all unhappy and put forward their depressing views. Let others enjoy it. Take a back seat. You are rather negative and forceful with your views. Like the poster said:. Let others enjoy it for what it is.

5 posts in ....... and you're telling others what they should and should not be posting/comment on?.....

Given the title of the thread - Xmas stinks - if people don't like Arista's view on it - don't open the thread up and read the comments then.

There are a lot of people who don't like Xmas for a variety of reasons - not because are a miserable git, but often for many other reasons - yet they have to listen and watch the rest of the world lose their minds for weeks leading upto one day that is over in a flash.

I see not a thing wrong with someone having a thread like this to voice their opinion.

If you don't like it - don't open the thread - the title very much explains it's not the I LOVE XMAS spirit.

Back down now. This is an open forum where anyone can express an opinion regardless of post count as you so often like to remind everyone. No offence to Arista but he posts the negative stuff in the Christmas countdown thread and he is mature enough to know that some people will not agree with his opinion without you chiming in.

It's one thread - one, that doesn't regale and embrace Christmas. I'm aware it's an open forum which allows me to also 'chime in', in the same way that you are saying others are allowed to post.

I often read mods telling people "If you don't like the thread or what it's about, don't post in it".

It's grumpy thread - so I don't see the point in coming into a grumpy thread to tell people not to be grumpy.

Holidays are Fun.



This is a Stressed Commercial Time.

[Pyramid*]

Given the very commercial aspect of Christmas these days: it must be a horrible time for those who are really struggling financially - parents who have kids who want the latest designer gear, ipads, iphones, etc so they don't feel 'left out'.

When you think about it things like that, it's no wonder some people really don't look forward to Christmas.

Do they let the kids down.

Do they bow to pressure and end up paying for it for the rest of the year.

Familes who don't get on, feeling obliged to buy for those they really cannot stand.

Having to play happy families when you can't stand them etc.

There are loads of reasons to not like Christmas and fair enough.

[Bollo]

How about Festivus instead?

Festivus is a secular holiday celebrated on December 23 as a way to celebrate the holiday season without participating in its pressures and commercialism. It was created by writer Dan O'Keefe and introduced into popular culture by his son Daniel, a screenwriter for the TV show Seinfeld,as part of a comical storyline on the show. The holiday's celebration, as shown on Seinfeld, includes an unadorned aluminum "Festivus pole", practices such as the "Airing of Grievances" and "Feats of Strength", and the labeling of easily explainable events as "Festivus miracles". Celebrants of the holiday sometimes refer to it as "a Festivus for the rest of us", a saying taken from the O'Keefe family traditions and popularized in the Seinfeld episode to describe Festivus' non-commercial aspect.

I think families that are up to their eyeballs and struggling to keep a roof over their heads, people that have lost their jobs etc, never mind having to find money for presents that their kids don't really need, just might disagree that it's the most wonderful time of year.

Same with those who have lost loved ones (especially if they died at this time of year) wouldn't find it quite so wonderful.

I agree in a way, I lost my Mum 3 weeks before Christmas, but I also know that she would be mad with me if I didn't live my life and enjoy things. It's all about how people handle it I suppose.

Wow! So my opinion is less valid because of my post count.

[Josy]

Yeah lots of people do have reasons for not enjoying xmas and other holidays, but not all of them make a point of letting everyone know how much they hate it at every opportunity, it spoils the mood for the people who look forward to it, my opinion is if you dislike xmas then fair enough but don't be bitter because other people enjoy it, I lost my mum on valentines day and don't enjoy that anymore but I also don't feel a need to tell everyone how crap I think it is everytime they mention it.

[Pyramid*]

Wow! So my opinion is less valid because of my post count.

Mostly due to the crassness (imo) of the posts in fact and the lack of understanding why some don't see Christmas in the same way you think they should.

I totally understand your point, but then, the same could be said about those being bitter (or annoyed perhaps may be a better word), simply because someone else is sayingthat they don't like it.

TBF, perhaps I simply haven't seen a lot of Arista's posts complaining about Xmas on other threads - so perhaps my perception may be skewed if there are many posts similar in other threads, if so, I can appreciate why you'd said what you have above, but I honestly haven't noticed them.

But if this thread has been raised for those who don't like Xmas to 'vent that', Im not really sure what harm it's doing.

Arista views are rather degrading, Christmas isn't just for children. There's a way of putting your views across without doing it in such a hell bent and miserable way. This thread is apparently for people who hate Christmad but the poster seems to only be the one at the minute. The way his postings come across are quite trollish.

You still have no right to bring my post count into it. You obviously feel your shoes are filled very heavy. Quite uppy and cliquey, to the point you'd single me out and rubbish me because of post count.

The issue of your post count was addressed on this thread by a mod and has not been raised again since - by anyone else, - other than you since you have come back onto the thread and it appears you are trying to get some extreme mileage out of something that has already been addressed - by a moderator. A point you will note that I took on board thereafter.

As for your other comments the least I say about that, the better.

I'm not attacking you. I'm allowed an opinion and this is a forum . As others have said I think you should let people enjoy Christmas for what it is.

To say I'm a banned member because i hold a strong opinion in which ill challenge you on is absurd. Forums aren't what they use to be.
