Sooo, *can* you actually buy a butt plug at Target now? That seems like a pretty big and important point you left out.

I wonder how long it will be until someone starts creating butt plugs in the likeness of MTG’s ghoulish face. I’ll best it’s less than a week and they’re on the market in at least prototype form. 

Typical Republican. She just wants to stop us all reaching our full potential.

I have hated christmas since I grew up and realized what a commercial greedy... blah blah... tradition it is. But since 2008, my company, and I believe most do this, November and December are the times for budget assessments and then layoffs. Every year, we wait to see who is going to get the ax. This has just added…

As an adult, I've never liked it for most of the same reasons that others dislike it: too much commercialism, too much stress to buy stuff, and I get really uncomfortable opening gifts. If I could have the holiday season with zero emphasis on anything other than just decompressing after a grind of a year, that'd be…

The best Christmas for me was in 2020. I still did all the decorating and cooking and shit, but I didn’t have to deal with anyone else and it was great.

It sounds like you have less of a Christmas problem and more of a husband problem. 

I’m pretty sure there is an article somewhere in the Jezebel archive about having Christmas on a different day - mostly when it is needed more. Also, Jesus probably wasn’t actually born on December 25th. I can’t handle going from one meatbirdpalooza holiday right into another one.

I’m down. Let’s do 2nd Christmas on Feb. 23. You can make it religious by saying it’s the first time Jesus slept through the night and gave Mary a fucking break because Joseph isn’t carrying his weight.

Anyone who was in the experimental side of psychology in grad school probably has plenty of stories they could tell you about the clinical students. In short, they’re typically not into the research side of things, like at all. The expectations for clinical students when it comes to science are also verrry low. The…

I’m american, but i just moved back to the states after almost 9 years in Europe. My kids were born there and are now in elementary school here. This is our first Christmas since we moved back and I’m blown away by the emphasis on the holiday in their school. Its like no one cares a bit that not everyone celebrates…

The pressure of parenting during Christmas is off the chain. My favorite Christmas ever was when we did none of the traditional rigamarole and instead, spent it at a National Park, surrounded in a quiet and peaceful Winter Wonderland. My kids just asked if we could do it again. Absolutely magical.

I have had a love/hate relationship with Christmas for years. As a singer and a person raised with the music, I find that part very uplifting. I also enjoy the lights. What I hate is the commercialization, the materialism, and the way it marginalizes people who haven’t got the resources to participate in the…

I hate Christmas because it’s a FUCKING GRIND. It’s heralded as a time to relax, take time off from work, and be with family, but the only time I can actually feel comfortable and relaxed is about 2 or 3 days after Christmas has ended. That period between, say, December 27th and my first day back to work in January is…

Don’t all holidays come with Addiction, eating disorder, anxiety, subsisting poverty and childhood trauma?

What I hate is that we’re so outside of nature that we choose the most quiet, introspective and hibernatey time of the year to have this month long burst of activity. It’s friggin manic. Yes, its a pagan holiday, but up until the winter solstice they were hunkered down and trying not to freeze. Then they were just cele…

A few years ago, I had this minor epiphany that I don’t actually hate Christmas. Christmas and Christmas Eve can be kind of nice! They just aren’t anywhere near nice enough to make up for how miserable November 1 - December 23 are. And the solution always seems to be “MORE Christmas!” I swear, before I’m dead they’ll…

I’m in Australia in the tropics and I hate Christmas. I have 2 teenage boys who enjoy the holiday.. And who I would do anything to make them happy, but I detest this holiday. I hate the crowds, traffic, the stress, the expectations of getting people gifts they will like, I hate having to do the damn tree, and having…

I admit I do love Christmas but I think it’s interesting that we have a holiday built around an old pagan practice of trying to bring light, generosity and optimism to the longest, darkest nights of the year... but then have the long slog through January, February and March. I wish Christmas came at the end of January…

I dgaf about Xmas but I get the day off.
