In my new workplace they have a 'Decorate Your Office Space with Christmas Crap' Competition. Some areas have gone berko - it looks as though Santa's reindeer have vomited tinsel on every damn surface.

They have those frigging fake trees with lights, f'chrissake. Barf!

Subtle hints are used to spur on the drones. Like emails asking you: 'HAVE YOU DECORATED YOUR SOULESS CUBICLE WITH CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS TO WIN SOME CRAP?" or "HAS YOUR WORKSTATION BEEN LISTED AS A NAVIGATION HAZARD? (Because it is so sparkly and christmassy?)".

Not in my cubicle A2Kers!

I just outright refuse to have anything to do with that ****! Case closed as far as I'm concerned.

But, for once I have workmates who are not going to foist the spirit of Xmas on me. Boss-dude seems as enthusiast as I do! It could be the heavy-metal T-shirt he was wearing to casual Friday or his talk of absinthe-fueled weekends that indicate that he isn't interested.

My workmate.... finally!... is Hindi! She don't celebrate Christmas because she ain't Christian!! Apart from Diwali I have no idea what she does celebrate, but if Kali - the consort of Shiva (he's the dude with all the arms) - comes out of the lift with a knife dripping with blood, looking for demons to kill, I know who'll put in a good word.

Haleluah!! One year (at least) free of tinsel and fake Xmas cheer!!!!

@dlowan,
Why thanks you BunHuns. Nice to meet a fellow 'misery-guts' who's willing to share. I am gonna put that first image on my e-mail signature for work!

Now.. the cat. That isn't officially 'anti-Xmas chic' is it? It just looks like a really pissed-off cat in a Santa suit. Margo's handiwork??

The pic of Satan=Santa is probably from a wonderful book I found at Borders:

Nothing says Christmas quite like
innocent children shrieking with terror as
a stranger dressed in red drags them kicking
and screaming onto his lap.

There's some free content here:

@Mr Stillwater,
Yup. I'm a little nervous about the enforced jollity at my new workplace. People are putting decorations up already. In the glory that is the most ethnically diverse city in the world, everyone's celebrating everything.

Gotta figger out what I can do that will show I'm not against them, without actually being one of them.

Congraters ehB! I for one am most pleased about this, having myself only just moved to a new workplace. Ol' sockpuppet didn't pay much attention either. I feel we are kindred souls....... fancy getting hitched in Vegas?

I go with lights. Pretty much all of these midwinter festivals are some sort of celebration of of light (to brighten up the darkest months), and pretty little twinkly lights always cheer me up.

I guess that means we should be decorating with darks up here?

@sozobe,
I just read that as "midwestern festival". I never thought of Lutherans as being light and bright.

Re-read called for.

I've got some unmatched black and navy socks you could use as your decorative darks.

Yeah, they really are not light and bright. Dark and dour.
