Reasons to boycott Christmas

THE_DUDE

One reason is my family always find a reason to fight/argue. So annoying really gets to me.

Anyone else with a reason to boycott Xmas?

I can relate. There is always someone in my family, well usually one of the same two people, who get really grumpy and spoil the atmosphere.  

I still like Christmas, though.

Thankfully, I left all that behind many years ago! Now, I love Christmas and even more so with my grandchildren to share it with!

I'm honestly going to boycott Xmas and new year celebrations this year. See if it's better or worse. 

No Xmas food, no decorations,  no meeting family. 

And to the people that commented I hope you all have a great  Christmas and ny with no strife.

Hey @THE_DUDE I totally understand wanting to boycott the holiday season, it can put so much unneeded pressure on individuals. 
But I'm starting to realise there can be compromise so you can avoid the stress, but also still have a nice time.

Christmas is not always a good time for people depending on your situation s some people can not afford Christmas

For me, Christmas can be Christmas movies, walking around to see decorations in the neighbourhood, seeing children in line to see Santa all excited. I can understand the stress it can put on so many, some can't afford it, and some are not in the best situation. 

Just wanted to remind everyone that Scope is here if we can support you in any way Even if it is just playing games, having debates and generally chit-chatting
