The constant upselling of food items, when you go out for a festive meal.
Friday last, went out for works meal, ordered the Turkey roast from the menu, then was asked if I wanted any more pigs in blankets at £1 each.
Its pressure selling to the customer, which is not really needed IMO.
That's outrageous. At least you get something for it though, unlike the Costa "Would you like to try today's special coffee blend today sir?", which is a coded message for "Would you like to pay 50p extra for absolutely nothing?"

Retail. We've has xmas stock in our warehouse since the first week of September, so it gets a bit dull after a while.
Plus customers tend to be bigger wankpuffins this time of year, when there's really no need to be.

I’m not religious, nor am I into consumerism so I opted out of celebrating Christmas a few years ago.
I describe it as the time of year whe
re most people loose their shit. It’s funny how many people take my abstinence as some kind of insult and they can get quite upset with me.

It's a crying shame, but let's work on the basis that you're unlikely to be asked to script the Queen's Christmas Speech anytime soon.

Gutted, a grumpy old git speech delivered by Her Majesty would be so much more entertaining, for me anyway.

Blue and White Santa hats
Christmas Jumpers
Anyone who thinks Die Hard is a Christmas Film
Low hanging Christmas decorations
Crowds out either Christmas shopping or looking at Christmas lights
10th rate TV Christmas specials - Yes I do mean Mrs Browns Boys, Miranda,,,,
Being forced to wear a Christmas cracker hat while eating lunch
Brussels Sprouts
People stocking up at the Supermarket who believe its either the end of the world or a no deal Brexit
Too much greed
Too much waste
Having to book up if you fancy eating eat although its probably not worth it, particularly if you get put close to a rowdy works outing
Running down of public transport
Christmas adverts
Being forced to be happy, as if 'come on its Christmas' is a happy pill that will immediately turn you into a smiley happy machine
Christmas eve boxes
Other than that its enjoyable

Actually. People who fly infrequently increase at Xmas and they’re a pain in the arse going through security. And if they have children even worse.

My father dropped dead on Christmas eve. The family get together that year was a bit shit.

Good point but I suggest it’s worse at Xmas with all the office parties. Shrieking girls and drunken louts/buffoons who think they’re hilarious?
