The 25 worst Christmas traditions of all time
These terrible holiday traditions definitely belong on the list of shells.
AsANDY WILLIAMS Once famous sang, Christmas is "the most wonderful time of the year". Except that you know, when it's not the case. There are a lot of things about the holiday season to love: gifts, lights, carols, celebrating with friends and family, drinking too much Glögg. We are not scrooge. But some Christmas traditions must be removed and earlier than the latest.
Here are 22 traditions that people across the country (and sometimes the world) continue to celebrate every December, even when they probably should not.
1 Ugly sweaters
When worn voluminous and uncomfortable sweaters becomerigorous for the holidays? We would prefer to stick with one of these10 incredible sweaters to make you go to Winter.
2 Elf on the shelf
It was not sinister enough that Santa Claus knows when we sleep and when we are awakening, he sends an elf to live in our house for a whole month and to look deeply as a kind of peeping Tom? Yeah, no thank you, we will go.
3 Figgy pudding
If "we want you to merry Christmas" is believed, the Pudding Figgy is so delicious that the Caroleuses require dessert at each home they visit and refuse to stop "until we get it." But have you ever tried the Pudding Figgy? It's mostly alcohol. That may be why the songs of the song are so aggressively festive. They are all drunk.
4 Santa Secret
Never forget the real sense of Christmas: spend exactly $ 20 on a gift, something that does not look too cheap but does not seem too expensive, for a colleague you barely know.
5 Christmas trees that are not green
A tree should look like a forest on the planet Earth, not in a book Dr. Seuss.
6 Holiday air travel
This song "There is no place at home for the holidays" forget to mention what monumental pain at the back it must fly anywhere this period of the year. Enormous lines, weather delays, screaming children, cramp aircraft.
Do not we all happier if the carol was the title "there is no place like jumping the airport for the holidays"? Yes, yes we would.
7 The Christmas Family Newsletter
What is Christmas that makes everyone think we want to hear the minute of their immediate family? We are glad you are happy, but we do not have time or the interest of reading a two-page trial, a single test on how your second cousin has lost his job, you have had new coatings in Aluminum for the house and you will be a grandparent again.
8 Inflatable decorations
A Santa Claus or a reindeer on your front lawn is pretty bizarre, but if it's missing as a Macy's Thanksgiving parade, you are officially went too far.
9 Christmas specials who are notA brown Christmas Charlie or do not use argilation
We already have enough special Christmas, thank you very much. (We watch you,Gwen Stefani's You feel like Christmas.)
10 Too reducing a white christmas
The snow is pretty, but it's also a huge pain. Peller yourself from your own home is not a way to live. And did we mention it's really, really cold?
11 Fruit cake
Make a choice. If you want fruits, have fruit. If you want a cake, I have a cake. But put these two things together and cook them until it is the consistency of a brick and what you have is the worst thing to make Christmas from the Grinch.
12 Santas Mall
If there is a bearded guy fat at the shopping center inviting children to sit on his knees, it's someone you should report to the authorities, which does not manage to visit.
13 Underwear as a real gift
No, not not. Not even like a joke. And this includes socks too. What kind of monster gives socks or underwear as a gift? Everyone buys their own underwear.
14 False fireplaces on television
You do not laugh anyone. You can not get a suitable yule log with a cable subscription. It requires an ax and matches and a real fireplace and possible inhalation of smoke.
15 Endless holiday sales events
Should all advertisements be so critious in December? We get it, you are enthusiastic about your holiday sales, and they end soon so order now !! We heard you the first time and we still do not believe you. Everything December is a great holiday sale.
16 Excessive quote from Will Ferrell movieElf as if you think you are the only person who saw it
Not that it's not hilarious when you start screaming "you are sitting on a throne of lies!" Or "I am a ninny-muggins with cotton head!" But please do not pretend that we hear these lines for the first time. Or that we would not hear them with Will Ferrell.
17 Scenes of sticky nativity
We do not pretend to be biblical experts, but we are pretty sure that Frosty snowman, Rudolph reindeer red nose, and Mario & Luigi video games were not at the original nativity.
18 Christmas caroling
Call us in the old ancient, but when a large group of foreigners hits on our gateway in the middle of the night and demands to serave us, our first instinct is not "Well, we should certainly open the door and say hello. " No, it's at that moment that we turn off all the lights and call the police.
19 Dress for Christmas dinner
We thought that all the point of a party is that you did not have to put a jacket and a tie!
20 That the Christmas song Paul McCartney
Why does this song continue to come back, year after year? "Wonderful Christmas time" looks like the old Beatle recorded it hastily, with a casio keyboard and whatever the lyrics of the head. "Just ..." enough of this song!
21 WatchingNutcracker
If you have seen the "dance of the fairy of the plum sugar" once, you have already seen it enough for a life.
22 To fight to know if you have to say "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays".
Let's just agree not to agree and return to gift, okay?

25 Drinking
There is no other time of the year when it would even accept remotely from drinking what equates to a cup of omele ingredients filled with Cognie filled with sugar. And while getting this holiday drink loaded with cream for the cream of your local store, it's enough, at least most varieties purchased at the store are pasteurized. Your lot is a Tante Linda house?
