I was supposed to be the DONKEY who got to hold the collection basket, but Julianne cried that she wanted to be the donkey and so to shut her up, they made me let her do it and I had to be a SHEEP. I'm definitely not still furious about it 20 years later
I was in the Christmas chorus and always wanted to be Mary but never got my chance. One year, the girl playing Mary hadn’t shown up, so our teacher said that I needed to go ahead and get ready. I’m mid putting on the headdress on when the girl walks in late and had to let her be Mary. Still miffed to this day lmao
I had to be the Guiding Star, and j was so proud about it and I felt so amazing. A fews years later I found out that they only give that role to disabled children because it makes them feel special and they don't have to speak. I am not disabled.
I worked out at the age of 5 that Father Christmas wasn't real. My parents actually bought the presents we wanted and then on Christmas night Santa delivered them by impossibly joined-up logistics into our bedroom; even though it was a small box-room with no chimney for him to come down. The visit we made to a happy, jolly Santa at the town-centre department store followed the next day by further visit to a skinny, miserable, poorly-presented Santa at the small local High Street toy shop exposed the fakery of it all. The comparative experiences of those two visits would not have fooled even a blind child!
My 7 Yr old daughter came out of school and flung her book bag so hard it spun across in such a way any Olympian athlete would be proud, shouting 'I've got to be a stupid cow' while all her friends got to be angels or stars. I don't think the pain will ever diminish fully but I made her the cutest little cow dress ever 😅
I bet she didn't consider herself the only stupid cow in the room when her teacher told her 😂 But I'm sure she'll give a very mooving performance anyway 🐮🤍🖤
I wasn't sure whether it was okay to post comments about how true it is, or if we had to just stick to comments about how terrible people like that are :D (Yeah, me as well).
I love Christmas but I loathe people & corporations who drag it out. By the time Christmas actually rolls around I'm already sick of the decorations and music people have been forcing onto me for the last 8-9 weeks
My colleague at work listens to Smooth Radio every single day and the songs are basically just one playlist that’s on repeat, I’m dreading the day they start playing Christmas songs. It’ll probably be tomorrow.
Same. The only good parts of Christmas are getting time off from school and getting to visit family. The music and the advertising and the decorations are just kind of annoying
I'm obsessed with Christmas but people who initiate the festivities before December (Before Thanksgiving if you really want to push it) are another breed.
@@JohnnyBoy238 If you celebrate too early by the time the actual day rolls around it's just same old same old. But once it's time I'm with you, I always feel better around that time. Everything's lighter, and nostalgic, and cozy.
I haven't ever disliked the Christmas season but I've always had to brace myself for it because my Mum would re-watch every Christmas romcom that's ever come out and then on top whatever Hallmark had spewed out since the last one.
I remember being cast as Joseph and I asked my mum to rent the VHS of Joseph and the Technicolour dream coat so I could learn the songs. She then explained that's someone else and I wouldn't be singing or have a colourful coat. I would just be wearing a dressing gown.
Nope; this one is a major L on her part. Christmas is disliked because it's shit; it doesn't need to be "explained" by stuff like 0:41 any more than high promiscuity needs "explained" in any way other than "they just like sex" (e.g. Ladhood - Accidentally Meeting Doggers)
They aren't mutually exclusive. Shops may play Christmas songs and sell Christmas-themed items for extra sales, but it's entirely possible for businesses to adopt a Christmas theme because the people at the company celebrate Christmas and want to be festive. At my mother's workplace, they have Christmas themed events for the employees every year.
Oh man, I was meant to be a silent background character in the nativity when I was about 7.... Then the cocky lad playing Joseph got up during a rehearsal and stated he couldn't be arsed being in the play, then pointed at me and said "he can do it." I was extremely shy at that age and said no several times but got overruled and made to do it. Horrible experience 😅😭
I like Christmas as much as any other holiday, it just needs to stay in its lane. I once went to a department store late in the afternoon on October 31st, and they were already taking down the Halloween decorations and putting up Christmas ones.
I worked in retail for decades - it has to arrive early for business reasons. No other holiday involves so much preparation and gift-giving. Starting at the end of November or start of December would do nothing but provoke panicked rushes! I'm biased though, I love Christmas ;)
And if you go into a store on the 26th (25th if they are open) they will be putting up New Year Party stuff. If you go in on New Year's Eve they will be taking stuff down and making room for Easter Eggs. If you go in at Easter weekend it will be time for the summer/barbecue stuff. If you go in during the summer it will be the Back To School stuff. When the schools go back it will be Halloween and back to Christmas. It's just the circle of buying stuff
@@michaeldallaway1988From the moment we arrive on the car park, and blinking step into the shop, there's more to see than can ever be seen, more to buy than can ever be bought.
This year I was looking for halloween party stuff in stores around 24-25 October and all I found were just leftovers on discount, because it was already the time to flood the stores with tiny Santa Clauses. I'm from Poland and Halloween is not that much of a deal here, but still...
Absolutely spot on. Nativity plays can be traumatic for both performers and audience. Even 68 years later and in my mid seventies, I still recall the trauma of trying to play a loving and warm hearted Joseph having just received the contents of Jane Enright's stomach (she was playing the angel Gabriel) all over my back. Apparently, she'd eaten six sugar mice immediately before the play had begun. A dreadful experience and one I'm only just coming to terms with it. Could try counselling, I suppose.
"...Because she was a very ugly child". lolol. It's somehow so petty and mean, yet very honest and real at the same time. Reminds me of my friend's Mom, who's from N England, to a T. Thanks for the genuine laughs.
This is honestly me LOL. Christmas on its own isn’t bad but I hate the commercialism of it and I’m sick of celebrating it at this point. I don’t ramble about how much I hate it but when people try to get me to be festive, I roll my eyes…. oh well lol
I knew a few people like this. They found Christmas difficult, but they would insult everyone trying to enjoy it. They loved Halloween but would treat people badly if they weren't into it. It was a complete double standard.
I hate both, and berate and belittle anyone I perceive as sincerely and unironically enjoying either. Yes, I'm an embittered, judgemental prick, but at the very least I'm a CONSISTENT embittered judgemental prick. EDIT: I do quite like New Year, but only because it's the one time of the year when it's not only socially acceptable to get horrifically drunk and make an arse out of yourself, it's practically seen as a moral duty. And as someone who likes to get horrifically drunk and make an arse out of myself the other 364 days as well, it's nice to have so much company for once...
@@zmalevo2126 I don't see why, both have very little to do with religious festivals these days, they have become cultural and commercial events. In any case, Christmas only exists as it does because of Roman attempts to merge Paganism and Christianity by transposing a Christian ceremony onto the days following the Pagan celebrations for the Winter Solstice, so it could actually be argued that celebrating a Pagan-origin festival like Halloween is actually very much in the true spirit of the original Christmas.
We have managed to swing Christmas round. Advent was at one time, regarded as a sort of mini-Lent. A period of fasting and abstinence - and no carols. This was followed by Christmastide - Christmas day being the first day and a celebration. However, the whole of Christmastide was a festive season. Now the festivities start on December 1st with office parties and work Christmas meals and none stop carols on radio and in the supermarkets, mixed of course with the usual Christmas pop music. It culminates on Christmas day with Boxing day being the final bit. You won't hear a carol after Boxing Day unless you go to a church, and on January 2nd its back to the grind.
@@bobriquardo5317 Everyone with a brain is miserable when it comes to one of their biggest cultural celebrations? Someone’s been watching too much Rick and morty lol
It isn't accurate, it isn't cool or even socially acceptable to hate Christmas, and it's more or less the _worst_ time of year (autumn may be worse because of the leaf-mush).
@@smorrow Come on down to Florida and you’ll get none of that. I, on the other hand, have to move somewhere where it gets actually cold. I’m tired of it being green all the time and I’m tired of the humidity and the constant sunshine.
In all honesty, you all should spend your Christmas with family than going out parties to parties with a friend that is a dick to everyone including your family
I’m not obsessed with Christmas, but could someone please tell my aunt that NO CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS is too few? Tempted to bring my own and decorate the house for the day 😬
This character reminds me of that girl that if you complain about how your stomach hurts, she comes back at you saying she has had stomach cancer before and that you don't know what true pain is.
when this happens to me i just say "it's okay, it's not a competition. and if it was i wouldn't even want to participate in it, let alone win". and it usually stops on its tracks. when it happens again in future conversations i just say "not a competition" and it's enough
I told my sons from as soon as they could understand that Santa didn’t exist. I don’t like to tell them lies. I also tell them that death comes to us all. The right perspective on life is good.
@@michaeldallaway1988 yeah should probably skip straight to the part where their dreams will likely never come true and life is just a series of disappointments
What about people who have a narcissistic mother that they don't speak to ? that would be about 80 % of the population then. Christmas is about forcing family members together for a day or two once a year and trying to pretend they are having a nearly wonderful time.
My mother was a teacher, sometime in the late 70s the muslim son of a local Egyptian Doctor played Joseph in their nativity. When he started at the school, a Church of England one, they’d asked will you want him to join in with faith based events, (not that they are taken that seriously) the Doctor said we live here and don’t want him to feel different or left out, we can see to his his own faith outside of school. I’ve been an atheist since 11, I didn’t remove my child from anything either.
0:24 this was me, except I was so terrified at the thought of a strange old man sneaking into my house while I slept that my parents had to tell me. My grandmother was furious at them for ruining "the magic of Christmas". I'm just grateful they spared me the magic of soiled pantaloons every Christmas Eve.
As someone who works in retail, I honestly get closer to this state of mind every year. I have to try very hard and inoculate myself with plenty of Charles Dickens in order to hang on to the christmas spirit.😅
As someone who’s suffered a lot of trauma Christmas just reminds me of what I don’t have. Up until now I have always faked my through it,now I allow myself to ignore it and hibernate.
could not stop laughing at this one...nailed it yet again. We all know someone like this hehe. WOW you're nearly at the 100k subs...well deserved petal.
my workplace plays horrid shitty christmas music (not even the usual ones that play everyday it is cold and no longer halloween, these are like bootleg even shittier christmas songs) from 1st november onwards, and man, if having to listen to that for hours on end most days of the week doesn't beat the christmas spirit out of you, nothing will
I am someone who has a narcissistic mother, and have no contact with her. Christmas is not the pleasure for me that it once was. I have a very small family, who are spread out around the World. My late wife loved Christmas, and for me, Christmas died with her. Over the Christmas period, there are 7 days that mark very sad occasions for me. It is an incredibly difficult time of year for me personally. Adverts for Christmas do seem very early. But..... Many people do enjoy Christmas very much, and I get a lot of pleasure from seeing other people enjoy the season. I don't want other people to stop having fun, just because it is no longer fun for me, if anything, I want people to have even more fun, to make the most of life, and live it while they can. I can ignore Christmas adverts, which is something I pretty much do with all adverts anyway. I have even started to do little things at Christmas myself. I put up 2 decorations. One is my favourite, the other is my wife's favourite. I also have a Christmas dinner, and I have a rum and coke when I get up in the morning. It is one of the very few times that I actually drink alcohol. I then spend the day hanging out online with people in video or audio calls, playing video games that I got for presents, and reflecting on happier Christmases. So although it is not the happiest of times for me, I make the best of it that I can. I do genuinely want other people to have a wonderful Christmas, and from about a week before Christmas or so, I will start wishing people a Merry Christmas!
Me every Christmas: "it's a capitalist holiday where we have to prove our affection for our loved ones by buying things >:o" Also me every Halloween: "yay time to buy a bunch of decorations and sweets :D"
I am ALL ABOUT Christmas. Love it. Go all out on the decorations, the music, the food, the hats and sweaters, the visits to Christmas villages and Carolers. I always watch A Charlie Brown Christmas, read, yes read "A Christmas Carol" and twice have read to others the shortened version Dickens used in performance. We throw a big party the day after Thanksgiving to decorate the tree and I make personalized gift ornaments for people to put on our tree. But I literally say almost all of the stuff in this video. I never listen to that Mariah Carey song. I DO listen to that misanthropic Miles Davis song a lot. I don't believe in buying expensive gifts for kids that they'll take for granted. I don't believe in God and view the nativity story as a fable (I'm not a pagan, but I love Halloween). I hate the commercialization of Christmas. I do get depressed during the season for a bit and think about the misery of the world. I hate "Do They Know It's Christmas?" with a passion, but donate to the poor. I'm not above Christmas, I'm just judgey of others. I feel like I'm the Scrooge or the Grinch at the end of the story, loving Christmas and my fellow man, but still the same character deep down.
Yeah this character is always the life of the party 😂 never trust a person who doesn't like Christmas or one of those who polices it "you can't celebrate before X date". Sit down and have a Snickers Katy. Who is it hurting?
@@clangboomsteam Cool, I’m telling you that it does. It costs you nothing to keep your negativity and hateful opinions to yourself, and to respect the expressions of others. Being a good person isn’t hard. Try it sometime
People who don't like Christmas probably have their reasons, but why spoil it for those who love it? Steer clear of crowds, television and the kitchen, and Christmas is great.
this is kind of me lol. I am the depressed person with a narcissistic mother that I don't speak to. I tend to spend my Christmas days working 12 hours a day...
i am this person on the inside. a little bit. it only goes to the outside when my dad is blasting christmas music for the sixth hour in a row or trying to make me watch the hallmark nonsense movies with him. i enjoy the vibes but not THAT much. also i do work in a supermarket so i get a bit sick of the music regardless.
Lmao, lowkey called out haha. November is fine tbh, I just get so annoyed when it's the start of October and they decorate for Christmas... -_-' Like get in line, Halloween's first.
I actually did realize Santa Claus wasn't real when I was a little kid. You want to know how I figured it out? Too many sly jokes in kid's shows about Santa not being real.

@@michaeldallaway1988 yeah should probably skip straight to the part where their dreams will likely never come true and life is just a series of disappointments
I was really hoping you were going to break out in song to prove you should have been the angel.
Luv the patter giddly girl 😂
Yo we don't all have traumatic childhood memories hanging over us, some of us just genuinely hate juvenile soppyness.
lmaoooo you must be incredibly embittered to genuinely consider holidays to be "juvenile soppyness" xD
HELP did anyone else get the same christmas ad for oldnavy 😭
As a birthmas child with legitimate grievances against Christmas, I've decided as an adult that it's fine because there is lots of candy involved.
What about people who have a narcissistic mother that they don't speak to ? that would be about 80 % of the population then. Christmas is about forcing family members together for a day or two once a year and trying to pretend they are having a nearly wonderful time.
Another great video✨️
this is literally me except i wasnt in a nativity play when i was a kid cause im jewish
You make zero sense mate. I wouldn’t dream of taking the piss out of Hanukkah
But just about everybody in the original nativity movie except a few romans and those weird zoroastrian three kings looking to buy weed were jewish
@@amandaely9983Your reply make zero sense if it’s to @noaoxer144 How is that taking the piss?
My mother was a teacher, sometime in the late 70s the muslim son of a local Egyptian Doctor played Joseph in their nativity. When he started at the school, a Church of England one, they’d asked will you want him to join in with faith based events, (not that they are taken that seriously) the Doctor said we live here and don’t want him to feel different or left out, we can see to his his own faith outside of school. I’ve been an atheist since 11, I didn’t remove my child from anything either.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Hahaha so accurate, especially when they go 'it's all capitalism' and 'I figured it out at a young age'.
"I saw Covid coming a mile off" 🤣🤣🤣 Wish she'd warned us.
0:24 this was me, except I was so terrified at the thought of a strange old man sneaking into my house while I slept that my parents had to tell me. My grandmother was furious at them for ruining "the magic of Christmas". I'm just grateful they spared me the magic of soiled pantaloons every Christmas Eve.
As someone who works in retail, I honestly get closer to this state of mind every year. I have to try very hard and inoculate myself with plenty of Charles Dickens in order to hang on to the christmas spirit.😅
It's cause this state of mind isn't 'wrong' it's just a very party pooper mindset..
I admire retail staff during the festive season; I don't know how they cope with it all.
Childhood trauma in sheep's clothing
Sorry they gave your role to another girl :(
Received the first Christmas catalogue in the post in July.Is this a record?
As someone who’s suffered a lot of trauma Christmas just reminds me of what I don’t have.
Up until now I have always faked my through it,now I allow myself to ignore it and hibernate.
could not stop laughing at this one...nailed it yet again. We all know someone like this hehe. WOW you're nearly at the 100k subs...well deserved petal.
my workplace plays horrid shitty christmas music (not even the usual ones that play everyday it is cold and no longer halloween, these are like bootleg even shittier christmas songs) from 1st november onwards, and man, if having to listen to that for hours on end most days of the week doesn't beat the christmas spirit out of you, nothing will
Smiggle sent me a an email about "sleigh bells" on Halloween! Halloween!!
I am someone who has a narcissistic mother, and have no contact with her.
Christmas is not the pleasure for me that it once was. I have a very small family, who are spread out around the World.
My late wife loved Christmas, and for me, Christmas died with her.
Over the Christmas period, there are 7 days that mark very sad occasions for me. It is an incredibly difficult time of year for me personally.
Adverts for Christmas do seem very early.
But.....
Many people do enjoy Christmas very much, and I get a lot of pleasure from seeing other people enjoy the season. I don't want other people to stop having fun, just because it is no longer fun for me, if anything, I want people to have even more fun, to make the most of life, and live it while they can.
I can ignore Christmas adverts, which is something I pretty much do with all adverts anyway.
I have even started to do little things at Christmas myself. I put up 2 decorations. One is my favourite, the other is my wife's favourite. I also have a Christmas dinner, and I have a rum and coke when I get up in the morning. It is one of the very few times that I actually drink alcohol. I then spend the day hanging out online with people in video or audio calls, playing video games that I got for presents, and reflecting on happier Christmases.
So although it is not the happiest of times for me, I make the best of it that I can. I do genuinely want other people to have a wonderful Christmas, and from about a week before Christmas or so, I will start wishing people a Merry Christmas!
I won’t mean it. 😂😂😂 Thanks from San(ta) Francisco 🌁
Me every Christmas: "it's a capitalist holiday where we have to prove our affection for our loved ones by buying things >:o"
Also me every Halloween: "yay time to buy a bunch of decorations and sweets :D"
Don't even get me started on the consumerism stress everything has to be perfect 🥵
I feel personally attacked by this 😅
Playing Christmas songs on the radio before the 1st of December should be banned.
Why listen to the radio anyway? Unless you work in retail I don't see why you need to listen to Christmas music unless you look for it these days
I am ALL ABOUT Christmas. Love it. Go all out on the decorations, the music, the food, the hats and sweaters, the visits to Christmas villages and Carolers. I always watch A Charlie Brown Christmas, read, yes read "A Christmas Carol" and twice have read to others the shortened version Dickens used in performance. We throw a big party the day after Thanksgiving to decorate the tree and I make personalized gift ornaments for people to put on our tree.
But I literally say almost all of the stuff in this video.
I never listen to that Mariah Carey song. I DO listen to that misanthropic Miles Davis song a lot. I don't believe in buying expensive gifts for kids that they'll take for granted. I don't believe in God and view the nativity story as a fable (I'm not a pagan, but I love Halloween). I hate the commercialization of Christmas. I do get depressed during the season for a bit and think about the misery of the world. I hate "Do They Know It's Christmas?" with a passion, but donate to the poor.
I'm not above Christmas, I'm just judgey of others. I feel like I'm the Scrooge or the Grinch at the end of the story, loving Christmas and my fellow man, but still the same character deep down.
WHY DO THEY START IT SO EARLY???? LIKE THE DAY AFTER HALLOWEEN ENDS 😭😭😭😭
I dislike Christmas, but for different reasons. But hence I loath the corny sentimentality. So much cheap Chinese garbage purchased for decorations
My friend said EXACTLY this, word for word, a few weeks ago... Crazy 0:11
Yeah this character is always the life of the party 😂 never trust a person who doesn't like Christmas or one of those who polices it "you can't celebrate before X date". Sit down and have a Snickers Katy. Who is it hurting?
@@clangboomsteam It does hurt me. It invalidates my existence as a long enjoyer of Christmas
@@clangboomsteam Not invalidating the existence of others is just called having basic human respect lol. That’s soooo hard to do 🙄
@@clangboomsteam Cool, I’m telling you that it does. It costs you nothing to keep your negativity and hateful opinions to yourself, and to respect the expressions of others. Being a good person isn’t hard. Try it sometime
@@clangboomsteam Again it takes nothing to offer basic respect to other people. Just say you’re a bigot 🤷
@@clangboomsteam "No I’m not a bigot as I continue to dehumanize people" - you probably
Also not a bro. Bigots gonna bigot 🤷
I bloody love Christmas but I also get moody if I hear Christmas songs at the start of November.
People who don't like Christmas probably have their reasons, but why spoil it for those who love it? Steer clear of crowds, television and the kitchen, and Christmas is great.
For me it's how fucking aggressively it is enforced. Like no, I shouldn't have to participate in your mass nonsense. Leave me the fuck alone.
it is my dream for my future wife to be this funny
Director: "What do you think of Christmas?"
Her: "Meh."
And that's why she was cast as a sheep.
I would despise Christmas also if that happened to me.
I'm not above it. I just don't want to be tired of it all by the time the holiday comes around.
I like Christmas, I watch home alone 1 & 2 Christmas eve and order in a large cheese pizza all for myself!
this is kind of me lol. I am the depressed person with a narcissistic mother that I don't speak to. I tend to spend my Christmas days working 12 hours a day...
Same
Well done for keeping things going doing whatever it is you do.
i am this person on the inside. a little bit. it only goes to the outside when my dad is blasting christmas music for the sixth hour in a row or trying to make me watch the hallmark nonsense movies with him. i enjoy the vibes but not THAT much. also i do work in a supermarket so i get a bit sick of the music regardless.
Lmao, lowkey called out haha. November is fine tbh, I just get so annoyed when it's the start of October and they decorate for Christmas... -_-' Like get in line, Halloween's first.
Everyone has their own bitter nativity grudge. Still mad I didn't get to play Claude the Camel.
It me. Bah humbug.
I was going to play Joseph, until I found out the shepherds got more action.
For real. I haven’t been on speaking terms with Jesus since I was 3. Sooo
I actually did realize Santa Claus wasn't real when I was a little kid. You want to know how I figured it out? Too many sly jokes in kid's shows about Santa not being real.
it was really all about losing that Angel role 🤣
Apart from the angel sheep bit, this is unapologetically me xD. And before the ever so clever comment drops, I am, in fact, fun at parties.
I was supposed to be the narrator in the school play until someone dropped out and I ended up being the back end of a train ???
Is it “above” or “over” Christmas?
