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 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 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 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 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)
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.
"...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.
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
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.
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.
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...
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.
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
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.
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 😅😭
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
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.😅
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.
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.
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.
Bravo, brilliant...... Again. You made me laugh out loud, thank you. At one nativity play in nun run primary school, I was wrapped in green crepe paper as was some sort of foliage! Made me laugh!
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 😬
I love your work, I really do. But the change in video frame rate when you're describing the nativity scene, just got me. Powerful, hilarious, provocative.
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!
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 told myself I wasn't going to get distracted on RUclips today but I saw this title and I just had to. So worth it how are you so hilarious! Sooo accurate. Cracking up the whole sketch.
@@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
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.
My entire Sunday School career, the main cast: Mary, Joseph, the Wisemen, Gabriel were all played by the sixth graders. I was stoked to finally get out of freaking bell choir and be a main character when I finally got to sixth grade, the final year. When I did, they changed it to the 4th graders and made us the "Advanced Bell Choir"...
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.
I was seconds away from being very harsh in a comment but on my way down here I had to scroll by the title and be reminded what the intention here is. So well done.
GIRL! I know the pain! I was the lead option to play Snow White when I was a kid in a play and they ended up picking another girl because she had darker hair and mine was red. I would have worn a wig. I ended up being an elf! Still salty. 36 yrs old...still salty
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.
The narcissistic mother one was too real. 😂 😆 Christmas was spoiled for me at a young age, but I'm trying to reclaim some of the magic now as a adult. I want to give my own kids good Christmases someday! Growing up it was a day of work, solemnity, and trying to pretend it wasn't Christmas and ignoring everything except some awkward emotional sensitivity at some point in the day.

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!
Luv the patter giddly girl 😂
I'm not above it. I just don't want to be tired of it all by the time the holiday comes around.
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.
"What about people who have a narcissistic mother that they don't speak to?" Priceless!!
I told myself I wasn't going to get distracted on RUclips today but I saw this title and I just had to. So worth it how are you so hilarious! Sooo accurate. Cracking up the whole sketch.
I remember Christmas as a child. Freezing, lots of snow, glowing lights ... really magical.
Offense taken. I love you.
У нас уже в октябре начали всякое новогоднее продавать. Считаю, что это капитализм 🙂
Another great video✨️
I have my Christmas lights up. As far as im concerned, xmas season starts after Halloween😅
I mean I unironically agree with almost everything she said, tho.
everyone with a brain does, but you don't say this stuff out loud!!!
@@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
Superb comic timing. 😂
I bloody love Christmas but I also get moody if I hear Christmas songs at the start of November.
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.
I like Christmas, I watch home alone 1 & 2 Christmas eve and order in a large cheese pizza all for myself!
I was going to play Joseph, until I found out the shepherds got more action.
it was really all about losing that Angel role 🤣
I'm an athiest, have seasonal affective disorder and do get depressed around Xmas, but i do like the foods, parties, and the best chocolates.
My entire Sunday School career, the main cast: Mary, Joseph, the Wisemen, Gabriel were all played by the sixth graders. I was stoked to finally get out of freaking bell choir and be a main character when I finally got to sixth grade, the final year. When I did, they changed it to the 4th graders and made us the "Advanced Bell Choir"...
I feel like I can't accurately perceive the fine satiric quality of this video because I'm in it
Excellent observational truth. I liked the way you threw some comedy in too 😂
I feel personally attacked by this 😅
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.
Director: "What do you think of Christmas?"
Her: "Meh."
And that's why she was cast as a sheep.
Everyone has their own bitter nativity grudge. Still mad I didn't get to play Claude the Camel.
Don't even get me started on the consumerism stress everything has to be perfect 🥵
I have a narcissistic mother who I still speak to (for some reason). It's the main reason why I hate Christmas.
You struck a nerve with me there, especially the narcissistic mother.
Funny, clever and beautiful. Wishing you every success
I played a sheep for 3 consecutive years, still haunts me to this day.
She does passive aggressive so well. 😂
I was proper chuffed to be one of the 3 wise men, a core memory.
Straight onto the naughty list.
As someone with a narcassistic mother I don't speak to anymore: I fucking LOVED christmas once I experienced it in a normal household haha
Christmas is okay - but lets keep it till December, yeah?
Hahaha so accurate, especially when they go 'it's all capitalism' and 'I figured it out at a young age'.
I won’t mean it. 😂😂😂 Thanks from San(ta) Francisco 🌁
fvck christmas in november
Yeah, I'll buy presents sure, but if i celebrate before december I get sick of it by the time it's actually around.

I was seconds away from being very harsh in a comment but on my way down here I had to scroll by the title and be reminded what the intention here is. So well done.
This is hilarious. My Monday blues just went bye-bye.
Xmas is a perfect example of Martha and Mary in the bible. Ur supposed to spend time together but people get caught up in the material, exhausting!
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.
Great as usual!
Fun fact; My aunt was girls guide leader north London and made a young Amy Winehouse play the sheep much to her and her fathers narcissistic dismay.
GIRL! I know the pain! I was the lead option to play Snow White when I was a kid in a play and they ended up picking another girl because she had darker hair and mine was red. I would have worn a wig. I ended up being an elf! Still salty. 36 yrs old...still salty
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.
The narcissistic mother one was too real. 😂 😆 Christmas was spoiled for me at a young age, but I'm trying to reclaim some of the magic now as a adult. I want to give my own kids good Christmases someday! Growing up it was a day of work, solemnity, and trying to pretend it wasn't Christmas and ignoring everything except some awkward emotional sensitivity at some point in the day.
She’s just great….😊
Excellent and spot on as usual 👍🏽👌🏽😍 p.s. merry Christmas 🤪
