I don't like all the rush. I would love to just sit back and enjoy my family but every year it seems as if we have to hurry here then there.

We come home with way too many presents that my kids didn't need. Every year I end up with a huge tupperware container for each child of things they did not want or need. The only good thing about that is the kids get to give all those gifts to toys for tots this time of year.

I think I want to go back and be a kid back when Christmas was Magical I miss that.

I don't like the prices of everything and how it seems soooo hard to find a really great deal like we use to! I don't like the pushy and crabby people who think they run this world. I don't like the traffic and not being able to find a decent parking space. I don't like cold weather.

I use to love christmas its was a magical time now its just hard a few weeks ago walking into walmart and seeing all the christmas stuff really shook me up. i dont like the crowds or all the extra crime at this time of the year. I do love seeing my sons face when he opens his presents thats priceless

I hate that I can't drive even near the mall for fear of getting into an accident (bad spot for accidents all year round). That dh's family never gets there lists done on time. That dd is too caught up in all the gifts she gets but doesn't always play with.

I love getting to see our family, but hate feeling pulled between our two families- it stinks trying to see everyone equally (We rotate between 3 houses the whole time we are home, moving every night). Forget trying to see friends lol.

I hate that it seems to have lost its true meaning. It's more like BUY, BUY, BUY , GET, GET, GET, RUN, RUN, RUN AND GO, GO, GO. It's never made sense to me that we stress so much over buying a gift for Aunt "mertie" who doesn't need it and won't like it anyway. I think I just hate all the excess. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. When we just get to enjoy our family and nothing more.

Amen...couldn't agree more with you BUy BUY constantly gift opened in 5 minutes then clean up then cook and sometimes listen to the relatives gripes. But I will admit as exhausting as it all is I do love the season especially Thanksgiving but it's hard figuring out what to get my parents who have everything!

I hate knowing that the excitement of the Christmas season comes to a crashing halt on Christmas Day.

It all about material thing,what can I get,Not giving to the homeless,who don't have a a place to sleep,are food to eat,I remember the old fashion Christmas,Where the neighborhood would come together and just enjoy each other company.I miss that so much

I hate packing up all the Christmas things. It just seems like it takes a lot longer to pack it up than unpacking and putting it all out.

When we do go home-every other year and a 14 hour drive- I hate rushing around trying to fit everyone in. It would be nice if everyone could just come to us, I mean we did just drive 14 hours with 2 kids...but it just doesn't work like that.

those are the 2 main things I can do without during Christmas time. The last will happen this year because we are staying home!

MyCoupons Is #1 For Holiday Shopping

I hate the rush and feeling like I have so much to get done. I do the majority of the Christmas shopping in our house and I like to find the righ presents.

I also hate the feeling of being pulled everywhere. We get up and have a short Christmas here with our family, then we go to my parents 25 minutes away and my sister is there. She lives in Texas and I only get to see her and her family once or twice a year. We then head to my inlaws 45 minutes away. They all live here in town and we see them all the time but they refuse to give up Christmas ON Christmas day.

We tried alternating for a couple years, but that didn't work out at all. Both sides put lots of pressure on us to be everywhere on Christmas Day.
