Does anyone hate decorating for the holidays? I'm one of those people that used to love it as a child but now I hate it because it causes people to stress out and get mad especially if things go wrong. I have nothing but bad memories of constantly getting yelled at because something was exactly right or just in general things weren't working and I was just a target. It doesn't mean I don't like it when other people do it. I think it looks so pretty when other people who enjoys doing it puts theirs up, but I'm just not one to do it myself.

In my opinion, there are more important things that can be done rather than stressing over decorations. It's pointless in my opinion. No one actually has to do it, people just want to do it. This applies for any holiday decorations. For me, once I move out of my parent's house, I have no plans of decorating. If I'm really up for it, maybe I'll get an artificial tree since they are super quick and easy to put up but otherwise, I have no plans on spending large amounts of money on something that is up for only a month or two and then sits in a attic or closet for the rest of the year.

Not to mention that in a lot of cases, they stop working after a few years and need to be replaced. Is anyone else disgusted by the thought of decorating? Just wondered if it brings back bad memories or just simply a general dislike for decorating. Especially since decorating is not necessary even though it looks nice. I believe if you really want to do it, then you can do it, but if not then you shouldn't since it's not actually necessary. Like I said, if other people who genuinely love doing it want to do it, then great.

They usually do a great job of it and it looks fantastic. But for those who get stressed out and mad, I don't think they should do it because there are more important things to be focusing on rather than getting stressed and mad about decorations. If you think about it, it's actually kind of silly, stupid to get mad over stuff like that. People say that they have to decorate. No they don't, they really don't have to. They just want to. No one actually has to decorate. Has anyone known someone that would get super stressed and yell when it came to decorating? I think it's unnecessary and a waste of energy.

It takes the fun out of it. I think that's why I detest decorating myself a lot because ever since I was a kid, there was constant yelling and others getting stressed out, all over decorations. I've seen people, both in my family and even families of friends get into screaming matches until they're red in the face Once I saw my friends mom start freaking out and slamming doors while full blown yelling. For my family, it's constant insults and saying how stupid me or someone else is. And it's all over decorating. To me, something is very wrong there. I always think, what the heck is wrong. So unnecessary.

I think if someone is going to be like that, then it's a waste of time and money. If it wasn't for decorating, there would have not been screaming or people getting stressed and frustrated. If it wasn't for the fact that I still live with my parents, there has been times in the past that when I would get yelled at for no reason, I would have just walked away. But I can't do that yet, although once I move out, I will be able to. Sounds rude but it's stupid to get yelled at over small trivial stuff. I hate getting yelled at just because of decorations.

Sometimes I think people yell to take out their personal issues as well and use decorating as an excuse. They can be focusing on more important things than yelling about decorating. Has anyone else been yelled at constantly when it came to decorating in the past? I honestly think yelling at someone just because they are stressed or something isn't working right takes the fun out of it and makes the whole process miserable and pointless. Due to my past experiences, it's nothing but a pain.

Anytime I hear anyone say they must decorate or that they have to decorate, I just want to say no, you don't have to. No one will judge you for not decorating and if someone actually does judge someone else, then they need to mind their own business. It is a waste of time to do something you think has to be done when there's other things you can do, especially if decorating always results in anger and frustration.
