Once that happens, yeah fuck it, down with mandatory cheerfulness and timed generosity. Ive been trying to get people to stop give me gifts since i was like 13, I wish you could opt out of this shit. Anything I need or want is either too expensive or not the kind of thing you can ask for as a gift, and anything I end up getting is shit I dont need or want. I try to only get people books or tickets to something these days. Nothing physical or materialistic unless i think it will genuinely improve their life in some way.

I genuinely enjoy the atmosphere and all the cultural lore surrounding Christmas, the music, the terminology, the decorations, the snow, the cold, the gatherings, the feasting, the mythology.

I could do away with the worthless consumerist gift giving, but can we keep all the other stuff pretty please?

I'm doing my part

You will be required to go to eat a succulent Chinese meal at a lunch buffet and then go watch a movie. Carryout/Delivery & a movie at home is also acceptable

Anti treat action

Can we add in some multi-day holidays/festivals? I feel like we're missing the spirit of true bacchanalia by needing to be back to work the next day. Our ancestors would want us to have tomorrow off too

Under communism there will be many more new occasions to celebrate and we will distribute them more evenly around the year too.

Alternative proposal: you cannot buy your Christmas gifts. Everything must be hand made. The state gives everyone a day off and organises craft events.

Seriously tho. Retail fucking sucks. You must HATE the treat brained.

Critical support to comrade Oliver Cromwell for banning Christmas and the monarchy

(I cringed even ironically typing this)

How about we just ban black friday and create a better non racist replacement for thanksgiving with better food to act as a barricade between Christmas and Halloween?

In fact this new holiday could even be about the conflict between Halloween and Christmas and the dark time of capitalism when black friday ruined the whole holiday season

"Add BigLenin to the Naughty List"

We will replace Christmas with Halloween 2

Prepping my store for boxing day sales rn. I've had one staff member quit with no notice and two called in sick all last week. It's made my life hell, but I support them all. Honestly fuck this business. If I could afford to I'd do the same

Good. Fuck all this consumerist nightmare bullshit.

However, you'll have to rip Yule from my cold, dead hands.

i second the proposal

good i hate this shit
