If you spell the words "absolutely nothing" backwards, you get "Gnihton yletulosba", which ironically means absolutely nothing.

4. There is a remarkable breakdown of taste and intelligence at Christmastime. Mature, responsible grown men wear neckties made of holly leaves and drink alcoholic beverages with raw egg yolks and cottage cheese in them. P.J. O'Rourke.
If you need time alone, try cleaning the house.

5. I can understand people simply fleeing the immense effort Christmas has become... but there are always a few saving graces and finally they make up for all the bother and distress.

9. Oh look yet another Christmas TV special! How touching that the meaning of Christmas brought its bicycle, fast food, and beer.... Who'd have ever guessed that product consumption, popular entertainment, and spirituality would mix so harmoniously?
