#like I've been lowkey stressing since october about gifts

[redrobin-detective]

I hate the commercialization of Christmas centered around present giving, that I am socially forced to buy things for both people I love and people I want to choke on a starburst. I hate the forced, fake cheer around as people pretend they’re being good and charitable by buying overly priced junk just to tick off a box on their to do list. I hate that most of the time, people are too stressed by having to buy so many people gifts that often they just buy whatever just to have something to wrap which the receiver doesn’t even want resulting in a circle jerk of stress for everyone involved with no net gain.

#christmas wank #anti christmas #christmas hate #i hate the holidays so much #i got the last of my presents yesterday and like the palpable Relief I felt #like I've been lowkey stressing since october about gifts #i hate that I have to buy my mother (who I'm one step above despising) a gift or else she throws a fit #I hate that I find fun gifts for my friends throughout the year but feel obligated to wait for a stupid manufactured holiday #I hate that in addition to buying presents i have to coordinate getting them wrapped and sent so they arrive on time #it just sucks! I hate it! #every year I tell my family 'can we just fucking skip presents this year??' #and every year my mom is like 'Im gonna buy you the best present you're gonna love forever' #and proceeds to buy the lamest most unlike me thing ever that I hide away immeaditely #i want to hibernate to january #fuck christmas #(and yet I am Winning at presents they're all super attuned to what people want) #(I hate the culture of present buying but I think Im good at it)
