BAH-HUMBUG: unpopular holiday opinions

[antemortem]

i think Elf (2003) is a shit movie

the proper way to eat cranberry sauce

secret santa is the worst version of the anonymous gift exchange because nobody ever knows what anyone likes, it increases anxiety and incidence of heart palpitations, and everyone’s always broke after buying the people they actually care about the best gifts so the leftovers are garbage fodder anyway

Christmas music is awesome and we are unique in having dedicated music for a holiday.

it's fine to blow tons of money on black friday stuff or christmas tat. what the fuck else are you gonna spend it on? "experiences"? Experience having a ton of stuff you don't need, lol

 

[CaffeineBoost]

die hard is not a movie.

 

[aaronarium]

ik op already said it but Elf is SO bad, its unspeakably awful and so annoying

i want to watch the movie depicting the life of the man brave enough to make this statement, 5 stars

uh, as for xmas opinions, i think we should stop telling children santa is real lol fuck that fat piece of shit

i fucking HATE having to write christmas cards to people i hardly even know

 

[boo836]

Christmas cards will soon be dominated by disconnected monkey NFTs

20 twelve packs of Bai

i cant stand christmas music i find it so repetitive and grating unless youre michael buble

I hate making gifts and receiving gifts. It stresses me out so much. I don't particularly dislike making them really. I just really hate the part where I have to actually pick one out.
There is just always that one thing that seems of with that one but the other one has this flaw and what not....
But then there this one time, every now and then, when the stars line up and you actually have a really nice idea for a present, but that's it for the next like..2 years

traditional thanksgiving dinner is not very good.

you dont have to prove to your family youre a master artisan every year

sometimes it’s ok to just get them a card from the discount store with distorted snowflakes on the front and christmas misspelled on the inside

Gingerbread is awful and belongs in the trash

 

[Dorron]

Holidays are so overrated because people having no classes, which is lit the point of holidays I guess

 

[Zantropez]

Color arrangements of green and red aside, I care very little for the Christmas aesthetic in general. I really loathe family gatherings for the holidays too but luckily those happen rarely enough to the point where the smug little snowmen fuckers bug me more

Isn’t this just the holiday version of the searing hot takes thread?

hot takes might not get you shanked in a dimly lit alley like unpopular opinions will

Hard agree on this. Maybe it wouldn't be so awful if it wasn't played so much. every. single. year.

Same goes for a lot of other stuff, basically every Christmas song (except for Carol of the Bells; that one is dope).

The real thing for me is when people start celebrating so early. Anything before Dec. 1st is just not the time. Hell, it's December 12th now and I'm STILL not particularly in the mood. People starting so early is the reason everything gets worn out. I can only handle so much of it per year...

ARE YOU UNHAPPY, GRRL
IN THIS CONFUSING WRRLD
WHERE EVERYTHING YOU ERRN
IS GETTING LEFT TO BRRN
IF IT WERE UP TO ME
THEN LIVING WOULD BE FREE
AND I COULD GIVE YOU THAT
AND I COULD GIVE YOU THAT

for an actual opinion, i think christmas is best spent just relaxing with family and watching something nice. no gifts needed. food maybe, i love me some chocolate crinkle cookies

i'm not seeing christmas trees, snowmen, reindeer, etc., only pretty colors, the holiday skin's in the clear

Never mind the 20th time: Elf is horrific the first time you watch it. Let’s not pretend there is anything remotely tolerable or funny about it. This film made me profoundly angry even as a dumb 7-year-old who could probably laugh at paint drying.
