9 things you'll know if you HATE Christmas

From busy shops to lights that blind you...

Hate Christmas

Christmas is a time for presents, flashing decorations, people singing on your doorstep and big smiles... That is, apart from us. For some people, they would rather you didn't make a fuss of this season. Can you relate to these?

Here are nine things you'll know if you HATE Christmas:

1. Christmas adverts

They fill you with dread that the day is looming - besides, they all make us cry.

2. Bad presents

You dread the 'gift face' when you have to fake being over-the-moon about bad presents, like those hideous slippers that you get from your great aunt Pat every…single…year.

3. Long queues

Long queues, packed shops and having to buy presents last minute puts you in a really bad mood.

4. Bad wrapping

The rage when you've gone to the effort of wrapping a gift, then the sticky tape gets in the way and rips off the design on the paper.

5. Christmas spirit

You hate all the peer pressure to get into the 'Christmas spirit' when if it was up to you, you wouldn't bother making such a fuss about it.

6. Scrooge

Scrooge pretty much reminds you of yourself and that can't be good can it?

7. Christmas Carols

Hearing an excruciating amount of Christmas carols makes you wince, when quite frankly all you really want for Christmas is some peace and quiet.

8. Christmas decorations

Flashing decorations everywhere make you wish you could pull the plug on them all.

9. New Year

Lastly, Christmas is a constant reminder that the New Year is only a matter of days away and let's be honest, we're just not ready yet.

Dare we say it, Merry Christmas!
