We recently asked the good people of our Buzzfeed community about their unpopular Christmas opinions. Here are some of the most controversial suggestions:
“I cannot TELL you how many hours/days/sometimes WEEKS I’ve spent trying to think of gifts I really needed or wanted, and I get excited to open my gifts, and what they got me is always MILES away from what I asked for. Super annoying/disappointing after spending all that time/stress making my list.”
“My favorite Christmas song isn’t even an actual Christmas song.”
“It’s “Man in the Mirror” by Michael Jackson. For the longest time, I’ve interpreted it as being sung from the point of view of Ebenezer Scrooge at the very end of A Christmas Carol. Trust me, that logic tracks.”
“I do not like that Christmas is associated so much with gift giving/getting.”
“Somehow a single gift per child is frowned upon. We talk about being grateful, and then we give people things they don’t even need. Teach your kids to give back to those who need it and not to expect to get several presents just because it’s a holiday.”
“If you aren’t Christian, you shouldn’t really celebrate Christmas.”
“That includes no Santa… No Christmas Carols. No advent calendars. No Christmas cards. No cursory attendance at Midnight Mass. Oh, and you’re not allowed Easter eggs either for the same reason 😂.”
