Yeah I agree with him here. Some things in christmas are nice but I just couldn't give a fuck about the rest of the stuff.
I think I didn't even spend the last christmas in my country.

I truly don't understand how you can hate Christmas, especially when you have a loving family and plenty of money to spend. Well said. I think some people think its cool to shit on things others like. What isnt to like about it all? Exactly

Quite nasty if you ask me. This was even more cringeworthy BTW. How so ? I thought it was kinda funny. Noel obviously hates everything that is childhood related, except childhood music. I love christmas but i can see why some people cant stand it. It can be a lot of pressure to be happy on purpose, and when you come from a broken family, can be hard. But i bet in private Noel was pretty gaga during christmas with his kids when they were younger.

I found it a bit forced and hate-by-contract / being the alternative guy who hates on things people generally love, but fair enough. As regards the second video (from 2011) I thought that question about the baby Jesus was totally stupid and his answer too.

Someone from Noely G's management has turned round and gone "hey you know how your brother is doing kind of better than you at the minute, i think its because hes doing so well with his social media interactions and engaging with his fanbase" And Noely G has complied. The amount he is now engaging on a social media platform is quite hypocritical for someone who is so publicly against the concept. This video was filmed a month ago when he was in America.

I bet it's got something to do with the memories of his own childhood which was not so easy-breezy apparently, but yeah, it's hard to imagine how one can hate Christmas at this point. I think he's just been funny tbh Like a lot of anything Noel says, it's just for effect. And the effect is funny.

I think Noel's Christmas rants are hilarious, but he always exaggerates so who knows if he secretly enjoys doing some Christmas stuff with his family.

Having been in the business, interviews are never natural and always forced. Interviews with the press are as natural as interviews you would have with an employer. You try to fit with the question asked. The dumber the question is, the dumber Noel will be. It's a game and Noel knows how to play it.

People have no sense of humour. Seriously. I'm with Noel. The over-the-top commercialism is gross and if I hear another version of "Last Christmas" I might personally murder Andrew Ridgley. I would not hurt poor Mr. Ridgley, but that first part is what I deeply dislike about Christmas. Also, from October at the latest every bloody TV ad is about Christmas and there is just no escape, it's Christmas, Christmas, Christmas everywhere. It's the overkill. And of course, that people go on a mad shopping binge. Astounds me every year, when I make the mistake of getting near shops around that time, there must be a time when everybody has bought everybody else a present? Where do all those people come from? And today I had to wait 20 minutes at the post office, just to collect a package! I don't mind the festivities themselves, but I'd be happier if there was a law that no one is allowed to mention Christmas before 1st December.

I think for Noel's in this case it's all part of this "persona" he created. he has some outrageous opinions on some things but this one I actually find it ridiculous and hilarious if you enjoy Christmas, then enjoy it. whatever Noel says about it shouldn't affect what you feel about it for me personally, I like the fact that it's a time I can spend with my family but I absolutely hate everything else around it. it's a religious and commercial construct that everyone forces on you. I hate the music. I absolutely hate christmas songs, not just carols but proper artists releasing songs with the same cringy lyrics and tone. and I hate the fact that's all commercial and imported and we consume a lot of calories when it's 40° in fucking December over here I love Christmas carols (traditional, not the poppy versions they keep pushing on us here in the States), but I agree with everything else. Noel's clearly just being "Noel Gallagher, professional curmudgeon", which is the persona he's been cultivating since he became famous. It sounds very tongue in cheek to me, and hilarious because I know he's partly joking.

The world dont understand Noel Gallagher anymore, sad we've lost the cool attitude and humour from the 90s.
It's all very serious.

It's a funny video.
Of course some folks here see it as a chance to bash Noel, because clearly the video is meant as an insult to everybody who disagree with him...
Merry christmas.

I thought that video was hilarious. Some people here have a real sense of humour bypass when it comes to Noel, looking for any opportunity to bash him whenever they can. Sad as fuck!

Anyone who has kids and is a miserable cünt at Christmas should be ashamed of themselves. Especially when money issues are not apparent, and seem proud of announcing this hatred. Selfish twat. The problem with having money is that you likely already have everything you could want. Come Christmas time, there's really no surprises, because you've spoiled the family and yourself throughout the year.

I haven't enjoyed Christmas since I was six and learned Santa wasn't real. That caused trust issues between me and my parents.
Over a decade later, I began to resent Christmas when I realized I was an atheist and actually learned about the history behind the holiday. My family still thinks I'm trying to deceive them about Christmas when I tell them it has nothing to do with Jesus and is largely a pagan holiday. That willful ignorance just rubs me wrong. And everyone here pretty much thinks the same damn thing. The American South for you.
I do like the gift giving part and having a decorated tree is nice to wake up to in the early A.M on Christmas morning. But I probably won't do the tree thing unless I have kids. I definitely won't be infecting them with the santa myth. I'd rather not confuse and lie to my children.

It's nice to have enough money for nice food, drinks and decorations as well.
