What are your reasons for not liking Christmas, Halloween and guy fawkes night? Did you never trick or treat...do you not like getting Christmas presents...do fireworks not make you go "ahhhh" and "wooooow"?

With all due respect...do you really not like them or are you saying it for the sake of saying it?

why would a person do that?


i don't like halloween because it's an excuse for kids to terrorise their local neighbour hood for two weeks and get away with it.
and they're cheeky sods too, i mean i'm not so tight as to sit in my house with the lights off, i give them stuff if they have a decent attempt. but i refuse to give anyone over the age of 12 anything because they are begging really.
where was i? oh yeah cheeky sods! i went to the door with sweets etc.. and this little lad said "ahhh can't we have money" EXCUSE ME? does you're mother know you're begging from the neighbours? thats just not right!
the fact that the majority of people don't even know the history of halloween just narks me. oh and its just one big money making scheme the same as valentines day.

christmas: yeah i do like christmas but not because i get presents! because its family time and thats nice and because there's this nice air at christmas and seeing a child's face on christmas morning is great.
but since i come from a split family and i am the last of the children in my family it becomes somewhat of an emotional rollcoaster between xmas and new year bobbing between families. hence my dislike. also talking abuot xmas in october just annoys me, its not for ages so why think about?
erm i think thats all i can say about xmas apart from it being another big corporate money making event.

and for guy fawkes, i LOVE it, i used to go to a fireworks display every year and have the most amazing memories. but i don't actually like fireworks, they are too loud and i don't like loud bangs!
alsoi had a few too many bad experiences with them so i just don't like them. and penny for the guy? *HAH*
the attempts i've seen over the pst few days are laughable. literally groupd of 12 year old lads with one sitting still on the floor with a mask on, and they call that panny for the guy? to me it jsut consitutes begging.


yes i am a bitter old bitch, but its my opinion!

I disagree, todays youth are a frank disgrace... Well, those under the ages of 2 years anyway, can't even clean up after themselves! Bah, children, waste of space I say!

There was a report on the news yesterday about a bonfire party accident down in Bristol... it was a properly organised event by the council. A stray firework went into the crowd & went off in a toddler's push-chair... the infant is now in intensive care suffering from serious burns... when will this stupid obsession with old legends ever end? How many more people have to die or get injured before fireworks are banned for good? angry.gif
JAZZMIN
I totally agree!!!
Ban fireworks they're just licenced explosives.
Proffesional organised displays - ok - but don't sell them in our shops for any durr brain to buy and create havoc with angry.gif
That said - I'm going to a fireworks party tonight sad.gif I can't get out of it. I will be inside - with my daughter watching from behind glass.

Jazzmin, I think what Lally was trying to say was that we have found a common ground... something we both believe in. I think deep & meaningfuls are way off but its a start... truce? smile.gif
