Christmas Traditions that Should be Banned After This Year

We all know that Christmas is all about traditions. Of course the Christmas trees, the holiday HID Light Kits, the presents, Santa. But just because some traditions have lasted this long, doesn’t mean they should continue on. I mean some of them are plain out ridiculous and annoying to say the least. Here is a list of overzealous Christmas traditions that should be banned after this year’s celebration.

1. Radio Stations who play Christmas music all day long, all the time. I am sorry but most humans cannot stand to hear “Jingle Bell Rock” more than once a day, if even that. This is killing our ear buds one jingle at a time. Please stop and don’t continue this tradition next year.

2. Secret Santa in the workplace. Okay so how this works is easy. Everyone brings fifteen bucks and puts it into a hat. Then, everyone picks out of the hat only to receive, gee how nice, fifteen bucks. This is tradition is getting old fast and nobody is creative enough to take part in it anymore. The element of surprise is wasted.

3. Mistletoe. I have honestly never seen a nerd and a milf go at it just because a leaf told them too. This tradition is sweet but should really go out the door. It has sexual harassment written all over it, not a good idea for the office.

4. A turkey dinner. Didn’t we just have Thanksgiving for heaven’s sake? Not only is there still leftovers in the fridge, but there is still turkey residue in everyone’s belly. Break out and try something new this year. And a holiday ham doesn’t count. Be creative and perhaps follow some new recipes.

5. Leaving cookies and milk for Santa. Okay, so this one is a little more geared toward children. But who wants to waste some perfectly good milk to let it spoil over night? Look out for your kids and your wallets and try to keep the milk in the fridge this year. As for the cookies, indulge yourself!

6. Cheesy Hallmark décor. Just because the new Avatar movie just came out doesn’t mean it’s fitting to put a holiday character from the movie on your tree. Who wants a space ship with tinsel on it? It’s just plain tacky and a little over the top.

7. Pet stockings. Okay, okay, if you want to get your dogs a little holiday treat, go right ahead. But do you really have to hang them a stocking. I mean really, what kind of dog appreciates this. Just give him his snacks, the tree indoors is torture enough.

8. Mall Santa Clauses. Are they really charging 20 bucks for a Polaroid of your child and a not so convincing Santa? Give it a rest, malls should call it quits on this pricey tradition.

9. Politically charged greeters. “It’s not Merry Christmas, It’s Happy Holidays, I’m not Christian!” Oh big deal. It is and always has been Merry Christmas. There are some things that just shouldn’t change and it’s not like you’re saying “God I Love You” by participating in Christmas cheer. Politically correct season’s greetings are a bore.

To bid you adieu, I’d like to say Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
