You did with this post, fart boy.

I read your username as fart boy at first so that’s what I’m calling you.

Nothing ruined Christmas, it was great.

I mean the genocide that Israel is conducting on the Palestinian people. Kind of a bummer when you wanna celebrate Christmas.

Say it with me, the ethnonationalist settler colony Israel is conducting a genocide on the Palestinian people. This is happening in front of our eyes. We can see it unfolding in real time. It’s not too late for you to stop supporting a genocidal state and be on the right side of history instead. And let me say it very explicitly. The right side of history is the side of the Palestinian people.

Rather foolish reply, don’t you think? Muslims aren’t known for celebrating Christmas.

I mean Jesus was born in Palestine and there are still many Christian Palestinians, some of them living in Betlehem, the birthplace of Jesus.

There’s even many news reports about how Christmas in Betlehem is canceled. I know it’s hard to comprehend but shit is really that serious. This year’s Christmas is canceled in the birthplace of Christmas.

The NFL. Really? Two games on Christmas? Multiple games on Christmas Eve? Go fuck yourselves.

I mean you can just say NFL in general. Ruins a good chunk of the year hearing about it during work discussions.

No, I will never care about a sport, and especially not overpaid assholes who play it for more money in a couple minutes than I will ever make in years, or more in one game than I will ever see in one place ever.

If I had a genie I would change culture so sports got moved to the same category as politics and religion so you’d never hear about it if you weren’t around scumbags.

I also don’t care in the slightest who’s winning in a huge stadium.

I’ve found that a blank stare when they get to the punch line of their dramatic sports story usually ends the whole thing. You’re meant to react big to every story, so zero reaction throws people off when they want to talk sports.

May I suggest having a Christmas with your friends, whatever way you like it?

This year I spent Christmas with one friend, and we just did whatever made us happy. We watched a few movies, and smoked some weed. She decorated the tree, I cooked my favorite meal. No gifts or anything, no yelling, just a good time. Probably the best Christmas I had in years.

Spend your time with the people you love and cherish. Christmas doesn’t necessarily need to be about family or gifts.

Best "holiday"s are the ones just chilling with friends, even if it is remote. Play some video games, go out for a walk, or maybe cook something you haven’t made in a while.

I more or less stopped doing gifts for people. Might get the kiddos something kind of useful or educational. I would rather do an activity than spend money on useless crap.

Downvotes are from people who like to be unhappy. I absolutely agree with your sentiment!

Ditto! No tree, no lights, no presents, no big dinners or parties. Just a few days off, which my husband and I spent with our two cats.
