It's Finally Time To Confess My Unpopular Christmas Opinions

We all have unpopular opinions on different subjects in our lives. It could be ones about food, TV shows, fashion trends etc. The ones I love having a debate on though are the unpopular Christmas opinions, I find the unpopular Christmas opinions always end up being the most controversial! I posted a question sticker on my Instagram Stories recently to ask for people's unpopular Christmas opinions and it was surprising how many people share the same unpopular opinions as I do! 

I debated posting this post for a while now, as it's supposed to be a joyous and festive time of year, I didn't want to put people on a downer. Well, they're just opinions I suppose, I surely can't put people in an unfestive mood by sharing these unpopular opinions? It'll be interesting to see if any of you lovely readers agree with me on some of these!

So, without further ado, it's time to confess my unpopular Christmas opinions:

1) Mulled wine is rank

To me, it's like drinking cough medicine. You'd think I'd be used to that in my life, but sadly, no. Give me a festive-themed cocktail or even a hot chocolate any day!

2) The film Elf is overrated

It's a good film, don't get me wrong, but it's not my most favourite film. I love Home Alone (both), Muppet Christmas Carol, Miracle on 34th Street, Santa Claus, Love Actually, The Holiday etc. But Elf is just not a massive hit with me!

3) The turkey - I can take it or leave it

I eat Turkey at Christmas as it's traditional, however, it's not the tastiest meat in the world, is it? It tastes so dry and bland, even gravy can't save it. 

4) Die Hard is NOT a Christmas film

I refuse to acknowledge that Die Hard is nothing but an action film. I would never associate Bruce Willis with Christmas, just saying.

5) I hate elf on the shelf

Whoever came up with this needs to go on Santa's naughty list forever. It was funny at first, no I see people copying each other's ideas and it's so repetitive every year and it's just plain annoying!

6) I never dream of a white Christmas

I'm sorry guys, I hate snow. So I never dream of a white Christmas! 

7) Christmas Eve is way better than Christmas Day

The excitement on Christmas Eve feels so refreshing and, well, exciting on Christmas Eve! Christmas Day, by the evening, falls a little flat and I end up looking forward to Boxing Day because of the football!

8) When people say that Christmas is for kids

Now you can politely f*ck off if you think that!

9) Slade - Merry Christmas Everybody is the worst Christmas song ever!

It really is. It's a horrible song, anytime Alexa plays that on their Christmas playlist, I automatically tell Alexa to skip it!

10) Christmas pudding is awful

Yep, I prefer a Yule Log or a slice of cheesecake. Christmas pudding is rank, even if brandy is poured over it!

11) Inflatable Santas are so tacky!

You know what I mean, those inflatable Santas that people stick up outside their house on their porch roof or in their front garden, they're horrible. I'm always hoping that it busts or birds poo on them. Nothing against Santa in the slightest, it's just the inflatable ones I don't like!

12) People who have too many different coloured lights outside their home

I love Christmas lights, especially when someone has a theme. However, when people have all the colours of the Christmas rainbow eg blue, cold white, warm white, red, green, gold, silver outside their home, it really annoys me, stick to just 1-2 colours guys, please!

13) Those Christmas films on the Christmas movie channels are incredibly sickly

Like I said, I love the classic Christmas films (as I wrote above) that we see on TV every year. But you know the ones on the movie channels with the actors we don't know and the ones which ALWAYS have a happy ending? Yep, I find them really sickly and not my cup of tea!

I'd love to hear your thoughts on my unpopular Christmas opinions!
