Oh wait, I forgot to look like I don't conform to anything, let's see here...:
- "I don't like Christmas it's too commercialised."
- "Santa sold out after I became a teenager, he used to be great"
- "Something about cutting myself"

Why do I get the feeling that's aimed at me?
If it is, then listen up; you don't live in Britain or know how christmas goes down here, so you can't make sarcastic mockery of my hatred for it.
Nobody here has a "proper christmas" anymore. It's all, plastic trees, fake candles, plastic decorations, cheap crackers, shitty cheap snacks that come in cheap plastic trays that you can buy as part of a meal deal in ASDA supermarkets. Nobody cooks food anymore, nobody makes their own decorations anymore, nobody does anything authentic with any ounce of "REAL" because they can't be bothered... and if they can't be bothered what's so ****ing special about it? Where's the enjoyable "christmas spirit" in, fake, mass manufactured, plastic crap that looks as tacky as it is? Where's the enjoyable "christmas spirit" in a bunch of same old movies, vapid TV programmes and gameshow/TV events that any other time of the year would trash the ratings? Why are we so obsessed with the mediocre, raising and celebrating it without question?
You can buy special expensive stuff from Marks And Spencers too, I still won't like it. Why? Because again it hasn't come from the heart has it? It's not something that anyone has put any effort into for the occasion.
No... it's all shit these days. And the one and only annual day that people still do properly is halloween. Even though the supermarkets and TV have tried their best to make that day crappy, they've -always- failed, thank god. Mainly because their products are rubbish and you can do better with stuff lying around the house. But people do things from the heart with the goodwill and intention to have a cracking good time, rather than being an antisocial bastard and buying everything from the supermarket.
