I love Xmas decorations, Xmas music, Xmas family gatherings, Xmas TV shows (anybody remember those Rudolph and Frosty the Snowman clay style animated tv movies from the 80's?) even Santa Clause. But I could do without the commercialisation of the whole process, or the religious layers. It's a shame Xmas has become politically correct over these past couple of years in Australia, it's not what it used to be. There are regulations on what decorations can be put up, what music can be played etc - it's all a bit depressing, I miss the 80's Xmas!! (bring back those retro decorations in outlandish colours :p )
Ditto on the religion and commercialism ... it bugs the living [expletive deleted] outta me when I see Christmas advertised like 3 months early! Same on TV when, the moment Christmas is over they start advertising holidays or Easter or some such.

Oh yeah ... and another couple of things to go in (inspired by EVF's post)!
People who think it something to be proud of that they are scientifically ignorant.
What they refer to over here as the "Australian Question Intonation" or AQI which is where people make a statement and raise the intonation at the end to make it sound like a question ... bleeding irritating!
And did I mention mobile phones? I must have done!
And people who want to "effect" something and see what its "affect" is ... grrrr!
