CHRISTMAS IS FUCKING SHIT
Forced to spend money on and spend time with family you don't like.
Christmas food (mince pies, christmas pudding etc) is horrid.
Having to attend a work Christmas party/dinner with a bunch of cunts you hate.
It is isolating for the lonely, homeless etc.
Plus the average person in the UK consumes around 10,000 calories on Christmas day apparently, which is obscene.

Well, do it different, then
Take the time off to go somewhere nice. Only give hand made presents. Don't overindulge yourself. And some of the Christmas food is great.

The lonely and homeless get special treatment and food in Christmas too. It might sound stupid, but I'm sure they're grateful that it happens at least 1 day a year.

I have ran a homeless shelter in London for the last 9 years from the 23rd to the 30th. Not doing it this year which will feel weird.

And don't you think they felt happy and grateful?

90% do. The other 10% are cunts.

So
It's not all bad about Christmas for the lonely and homeless, is it?

As a homeless person you're isolated to an extent regardless.
Christmas provides a period of introspection on what they perceive to be their failures and also reminds them that they are separated from family

So
That time of restrospection might help them to realize where their problems are and try to solve them. Or you are telling me that because there are some very unlucky people in the world we all should be moody and unhappy all the time, not to offend them?

No I am saying that Christmas makes lonely and isolated people often feel worse - the bigger and more hyped Christmas is the worse it makes these people feel.

I daresay 10% of people (at least)
are cunts at Christmas whether they are homeless or not...
