Pet Peeves: Christmas Stuff

So the other day I group blogged about Tacky Christmas Traditions with Steph Faris. As you guys already have read, I cant stand the holiday songs. But here are a few of my pet peeves that come with the holidays.

1. Xmas lists- Why ask me what I want for Xmas when
A: You are either going to disregard it entirely
B: not get it because you can't afford it
C: Already have something in mind
D: Think that I "dont really want that" when I clearly said I did.

Someone just texted me asking what I would like for Xmas. I honestly said to be able to copyright some of my writing... They sent me back "..." ... ... ... WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU ASK ME AND THEN BASICALLY SAY NO??! Ugh. So I sent back the nicest response possible... "Thats what I thought. Ill settle for a hug."

2. Preparations for the Holidays... Lets break this down in order of peeviness.

• Music. It would be nice to not hear holiday music from October to January on the radio, in the mall, in the car, on the stereo, Yeah... It would be nice not to! Do you know how sick one becomes of Mariah Carey and Nat King Cole? Let me enjoy Thanksgiving, Halloween, and that holiday in between... You know about that one called Veteran's Day right???
• Xmas Trees. OMG. I cant stand the Xmas Trees. Theyre hassles. I like the ones that come with the lights already. You know those fake looking trees but they are so pretty... and theyre hassle-less!
• Lights. Lights on the trees and in front of the house and on my windows... They are pretty, dont get me wrong, BUT damn it! I dont want to put them up to then take em off a month and change later. Screw that! I have a life... with too much damn stuff to do, lady! (Lady is in reference to my mother... I am a scrooge because of MY mother)

3. What most people know as eggnog... I dont like eggnog... I love coquito. AND no its not the same. Sheesh. Coquito s for the the holiday drunkards and eggnog is ... well... no offense to anyone this is just my personal opinion... Disgusting. I hate the after-taste to it. UGH! Major UGH!

4. Santa Clauses. Damn it, parents, you lie enough to your kids as they grow up, why tell them something that will soon come to light? (and no I didnt have a bad experience about Santa Clause, I just dont like the fact behind the lie that people use to get time to wrap the presents...) Just because you want your kids to behave and need time to wrap presents so they could "magically" appear under the Xmas tree does NOT mean you should lie about an Old Fat guy in a red suit who comes down the chimney to drop the presents... Sheesh! I didnt have a chimney! And there was no way that my mother was going to allow the door to stay open so my butt could fall down 4 flights of stairs. So stop the lies. The pics are always cute tho...

5. The cards. I love cards, however I dont understand the idea of Xmas cards. -_- NOT EVERY1 CELEBRATES Xmas. And NOT every1 is like me who keeps their cards! Not only that but it just reminds me how sad and boring the holidays will be without that person whos sending the card.(Yes im referring to relatives lol @ least this year my grandparents will be here. Thats a first in like half a decade.)

Everything I dislike about the holifays has been influenced by my mother's everloving favorite time of year... BTW December is also her month of birth (Dec 6, 1967) Yeah, FML.

What do you guys not like?
