Reindeer food - I'm not an eco-warrior type at all however this boils my piss, food mixed with glitter and sequins that you throw outside to kill wild animals and dump plastic everywhere? and for zero purposes or reason... utterly disgusting (yet our kids bring the damn stuff home from school every year and I have no idea how to safely dispose of it)
Fancy or wooden fill your own advent calendars - just do £1 chocolate ones
December 1st box - nothing against them but not for us
Crackers - we have them but I'm jaded by how crap they always are
Crazy amounts of money on food - we spend £20 max. on Xmas dinner... its just Sunday dinner but with parsnips lol
No idea what breadsauce is, never had Xmas cake or mince pies tried a bite of one once and it was rank
NO elf on the shelf - I just don't get it, Im whimsical and up for most things but seems like a PITA
Xmas markets - cold, crowded and overpriced
Secret Santa - I love the idea for workplaces but I always get shit with zero effort or thought
Crazy-priced things - I'm happy to do 1 or 2 things but they should be under £10pp really, I don't have money to shell out 5 lots of £30pp to see some lights or Santa when you only get a selection box (I like breakfast with Santa because it's usually under £10pp and you get food and we could easily pay that for just food - cheaper than grottos and wonderlands).
Queen speech - never watched it
Cards - bad for the environment and useless
Christmas Bedding/PJs - never knew it was a thing till mumsnet... sounds batshit to me (new normal PJs in general are fine but all matching special Xmas themed ones are stranger).
Carols - basically just like hymns, I can't sing and never know the melody so it's awful
Boxing day - I never know what you are actually supposed to do on it but people act like it's a big special day (from research it just seem like you tip your postman, milkman and window cleaner and we don't even have two of those lol).
Christmas jumpers - why? especially embarrassing cheesy ones. My winter jumper is just lilac with a touch of sparkle in the wool and some subtle silver beads on the neckline, which can be worn any cold day any time of year.
Boxing day sales - hectic, the only time I went someone wrote off my car when it was parked.
Mass - not for me, I'm religious but have no urge to take attendance.
Christmas day long walks/hikes - mumsnet seems to love this but it's honestly my idea of living hell.
The idea that Xmas is about 'family' and not gifts (that everyone spouts in a holier than thou way) - We don't and never have had big family Xmas, it sounds awful to me (hate people in our house, leaving the house is a PITA and social events are emotionally and physically draining signed a family of introverts).
Want, Need, Wear, Read - On the same note the holier than though 'no tat' crowd because think of poor Timmy whose mom could only get him a woolly hat for Xmas because they're lower class (I live below the poverty line in the poorest area in the UK and everyone has big Xmases. in fact, studies show the lower classes go bigger at Xmas than the middle class so stop fetishizing 'poor' people with made-up nonsense).
People who insist 'Xmas eve boxes' didn't exist until post-2005 even though there is a clearly searchable long history of them and many people personally had them - obviously their lack of experience override everyone else's actual experience.
Wrapping everything - we only wrap a few under the tree (growing up nothing was wrapped) and there's so much waste. Who has time, energy or money to wrap everything + so bad for the environment
People who try to dictate other's gift-giving - for example TELLING everyone no one is doing gifts this year because they want to stop (you can be a miserable tight arse but I'm going to continue buying gifts) or providing lists of what you must get them... so rude.
I actually do far more than most but this list sounds like we do nowt lol.
