Can't we delete Xmas ?

I hate Christmas.
There are some many reasons why I hate Xmas that I can write a book about all that hatred.
I will just give you three of them. And with these 3 simple reasons, I am sure you will start hating Christmas (if you don't already), as much as I do. Join the dark side, dude :
- Xmas now begins on the 15th of November. Can't you see it in the shopping malls since mid-November ? All these folks lining in the stores to grab a handful of dull presents for every stupid guy they know.. All these children whining all their tears out to get the latest expensive useless toy they will only play once and that will lead their parents to bankruptcy... And so on. Because merchants are starting Xmas pressure on this consumer feast sooner and sooner every year, I guess in ten years from now, we will start thinking about Christmas in the middle of June. It bugs me so much, I could hang High every Santa I met in Shops.
- Xmas Food is disgusting. It's always the same stuff you are compelled to gulp down : nice and appetizing meals became over the years, fat, tasteless, boring food. Ok, you have Wine and Champaign, but you have Wine and Champaign all over the year. And why such a mess about turkey and chesnut ? It's not even good. Have you ever tasted a "Cordon Bleu", or a "Daube" or "Creme brulée" ? Man, there is not comparison. And there is so much more in cooking that oyster and "foie gras".. I am so bored of the lack of imagination people have for Xmas meals.. always sticking to the same dishes as if it could spice up the conversation.
- People get so excited about Xmas It makes me sick. Come on, it is every year the same story.. why are you prancing along like mad squirrels in front of a huge hazelnut ? It's not as if you could be surprised .. or as if you will for the first time see the Pyramids, or loose your virginity in the Prom of your school or inherit from your rich Saudi Uncle. It's just another Disneyworld Drama coming and disguising all the streets of your town into an hallucinating parody of the Milky Way. I don't understand why, years after years, they still get electrical during a whole month just because they get a few presents in the end. Most of them, they won't ever use. Are they missing their childhood so much ? Well, whatever. It gets on my nerves.
Don't hide man. You now hate Xmas. We all do. There is no reason someone decent would like such an event. So, don't you think, it's time to get rid of an old degrading tradition ? Just like we eliminated poors' rights to property a few month ago ?
When something is turning out wrong.. on our computer.. like a virus or something similar.. we don't spend hours to wonder what to do with it.. it goes directly into the trash can.
Why can't we delete Christmas the same way ?
