Have been told I'm a bit of a Scrooge when it comes to Christmas (I've always tried to ignore it basically). So this year I'm making an effort. 
 

 
How long am I supposed to keep this thing up for?

your good to go, i think it has been up long enough as is, after all it's the thought that counts
 
i haven't done christmas for many years now, i think i can make it to the end without changing that, of course being a loner and not having kids helps a lot

I've been done with Christmas for about a month now.  I can only handle a few weeks of Christmas music and decorations (which started in October!!!!).

You have these local radio stations which broadcast non-stop Christmas music 24/7 from November through December. And they make a big deal of it, like "This is WPLJ bringing you non-stop Christmas tunes all the way to Christmas" as if they've done their research and found that that's what people want. But how many people REALLY want their favorite radio stations to switch to non-stop Christmas music? I can't think of a single person, even those who enjoy Christmas. It's just horrible beyond words, like some nightmare. The media and the corporate world have absolutely ruined Christmas for me, I used to enjoy it long ago but the whole commercial ram-down-your-throat cheesiness of it all just makes me hate and despise it. It's ONE DAY of the year but they essentially stretch it out to 2 months so that by the time the day arrives, it's a pointless anticlimax. 
 
You know how they say that looking at porn screws with your ability to enjoy real sex? Well I think it's the same with Christmas. All of this buildup is essentially Christmas porn. And when the real thing arrives on Dec 25 I just can't enjoy it.

According to some liberal yahoos I met on a bus, yes.

You have to admit they're sexier, no?  The alternative is watching a bunch of straight white boys dance and jump.  I'll never understand why mary matalin married james carville!

When I was working in Saudi Arabia, arriving back in the UK a couple of days before Christmas was great, you missed the long painful build up.  Every year it gets earlier, one UK store was putting out Christmas displays at the end of September this year!!!
