I love Christmas. I am a Christmas person. I am someone who looks forward to the month of December all year-’round. However, I know everyone isn’t like me. I know some people don’t really care for Christmas. However, to hate it feels a bit intense to me.
However, that’s how Larry David feels and he’s not afraid to let everyone know it.

Everyone loves Larry David, and to be fair, it’s hard not to!
The Curb Your Enthusiam star has been a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood for decades now. However, even the biggest Larry fans may not even know how strongly he feels about the Holidays.
Spoiler alert, he hates them — especially Christmas.
In a scathing piece for Graydon Carter’s Air Mail, the star let everyone know why he hates Christmastime in a comically long essay.
“I’m a creature of habit and can’t tolerate anything that throws me off my normal routine. That’s why I detest all holidays, but none as much as Christmas.”
He goes on to say he never enjoyed Christmas gatherings and went out of his way to make himself a miserable party guest. Now, he is so happy to finally be able to spend the big day alone.
“The invites began to wane until, eventually, they ceased altogether, and then it finally happened — I was to be alone on Christmas Day … All those years of complaining and kvetching finally paid off.”
Don’t even get him started on Christmas music, a seemingly very sore subject for the 74-year-old.
“There’s the loathsome music. The movies with their ridiculous, treacly sentiments. The presents — thinking about them, shopping for them (never without resentment), and the attendant pile of garbage that accumulates from opening them, an environmental disaster simultaneously taking place in living rooms across the country.”
To be fair, he’s not wrong about gift wrap.
His favorite Christmas tradition involves indulging in Chinese food and some glorious alone time.
Look, I’d kill for some one-on-one time with boxes and boxes of delicious, greasy grub, so I can’t say I blame the guy!
