i don't hate actually giving people gifts during the holidays, i love that, but like the desperate shopping i do, hoping that the recipient super likes it, that's the toughie.

Getting crappy gifts but you have to smile and pretend to like them. My grandma gave me a polka dot and flower shower cap one year. A shower cap. How does she even come up with that?! It makes me feel bad because I hate lying and pretending and it just makes it worse when you know someone has spent money on something you will never use.

Family gatherings. Seriously. If I haven't visited you any other time of the year, why do I have to visit you on Christmas? It makes it awkward and a waste of time.

Taking down the Christmas tree. Literally the most depressing thing ever.

People begging for money for donations. I work at a minimum wage job and I'm broke af, leave me alone. It's even worse when it's the salvation army. I will never EVER donate to them. They're horrible.

the salvation army has a stupidly flash base in london .-. never give

ALL THE CHRISTMAS CAMPAIGNS
espec. Operation Christmas Child
i mean, i like the idea of giving someone a goft when they couldnt have one before but
they force the bible on them, and force them to become deciples of god???

People thinking the Salvation Army is the best most charitable organization ever makes my eyes roll so far. Seeing the donation people all over the place makes me wanna stay inside til Christmas is done with.

And that damn bell.
Please stop ringing it.

The shopping. Not necessarily for gifts, but shopping for celebratory food and things. I find it incredibly stressful.

Finding what gifts my family would want, hard to predict some of their likes without having to spend a fortune.

The fact that everyone has so much family and always complains about not getting along with them during the holidays when I'm just sitting here by myself with my parents smh like wow how would you like it to not have any except for your parents huh??? You'd get oft lonely when it's just 3 people and a few nutty cats during the holidays

Also the gift exchange part of it; I mean I enjoy it but what do you do when you're given a gift that's just... ugh. I hate that guilty feeling when you end up regifting something that you really don't want, but someone put the thought and time into it

And finally, the ugly sweaters. PLEASE just stop it. We all got it, they're ugly, you don't need to wear them everywhere.

I'd have to say this is the biggest. In May of last year my grandpa passed away and so Christmas last year just didn't feel the same.
