"I hate gingerbread houses! I hate presents and toys! I hate reindeer and all of the good girls and boys! I hate the Whos down in Whoville, and all of their songs! I hate their wumpets and flumpets and goobakfobrongs! I hate carols and sleigh rides and fa-la-la-la-las! But above all things else, I hate Santa Claus!"
— Turles, Dragon Ball Z Abridged, "The Christmas Tree of Might
"
" "The birth of our Lord is a time to repent, not to feast on cake."
— Margaret White, Carrie

People loaded with good will,
Giving presents, what a thrill
That slushy nonsense makes me ill!
I hate Christmas!

That slushy nonsense makes me ill!

"Oh, that garish, hollow charade; Forced jollity on every lip, insincere goodwill in every heart. Tidings of comfort and joy, indeed."
— Ultra-Humanite, Justice League, "Comfort and Joy"
"On the contrary, I found the Grinch to be a relatable, engaging character. I was really with him, right up to the point where he succumbed to social convention and returned the presents and saved Christmas. What a buzz kill that was."
— Sheldon Cooper after watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas! for the first time, The Big Bang Theory
"The Christmas cycle imposes a deadening routine and predictability. This is why the accidental genius of Charles Dickens is to have made, of Ebenezer Scrooge, the only character in the story who has any personality to him—and the one whose stoic attempt at a futile resistance is invoked under the breath more than most people care to admit."
