You stupid people. [That's not written for copularity contests.] I WOULD like to point out that christmas is on the 24th [or is it 25th?] of December and, this is the 3rd November. Now I get exicted about christmas at aproximatly 11:34 pm on Cristams Eve. Its not like this ones special!!! Why normally the hype doesn't start till at least the 25 of November. it started in October!!! What kind of cilliviasion is this!!! [And I did see my mum when I was 4 lovingly sliding my christmas stocking stuff into my stocking.] I know christmas is probably the most special part of the year as the familly get together over the hearth and most bitter quarells being setteled. I JUST LIKE WAITING TILL CHRISTMAS OK???? [Oh and Xmas is like saying XXXmas. It's dirty and has nothing to do with Christmas.]

Nobody likes socks off anybody.
Not very many people like the queen's propaganda.
There was a horrid accident where I live,it happened yesterday and I'm worried for my friends,meaning accidents piddle on people's parades all the time.
Most kids belive in santa then cry when told the truth,in which I have done many times (telling them I mean).
Most things in christmas are bad in my part of Wales.

OK here's the truth about Christmas:



It's supposed to be a celebration of Jesus' life.
Jesus may not have been born on the 25th December.
Drunk Driving kills more innocent people at this time of year than any other.
Retailers make millions by getting the public into debt.
Children are made very happy by the Christmas celebration, it's a time in the year they can look forward to.
Other religions celebrate similar events at around the same time of year.
99% of pop bands sing a load of tripe that gets to number 1.
1% of pop bands since records began have produced quality Christmas songs.
Nearly everyone enjoys this time of year. It's a national holiday where families tend to strengthen their bonds and feel closer to each other.
Children hate getting socks from Santa.
Children hate getting socks from anyone.
Their really was once a St Nicholas - That's where the myth of Santa Claus began.
There were many ZX Spectrum games based on Christmas, including "Monty Mole stars in: Moley Christmas".
Be prepared for all those Huggies adverts which show babys bottoms at breakfast time to be replaced by Barbie, Cindy and Board Game adverts.
Many older children spoil Christmas for the younger children by telling them the truth about Santa.
Christmas is an excuse for propaganda by the Queen.
Whilst Christmas goes on, many people all over the world are dying of hunger, thrist or deadly diseases and war.
Christmas is the one time of the year when you can forget most of the bad points that are above, and actually enjoy yourself.

I'll bet every crap pap (AKA pop) band now has some tacky,overpriced advent calender. You may as well save yourself money and just buy, like a cadburys chocolate bar, and eat one chunk every day. It'd be cheaper, and you'd get more chocolate!

Yeah, people are getting all excited about Christmas before we've even had Halloween nowadays! It's ridiculous! As soon as christmas is over we're bound to see Easter cards, and Easter eggs in shops! It's stupid! Another holiday, another boost in sales for tacky card manufacturers!
