Larry David's Rant Against Christmas Is A Joy To The World | HuffPost Entertainment

Larry David didnt curb his enthusiasm for trashing Christmas in a funny new essay for Graydon Carters Air Mail .

The grumpy Seinfeld co-creator celebrated his Scrooginess from the beginning.

Im a creature of habit and cant tolerate anything that throws me off my normal routine, David wrote. Thats why I detest all holidays, but none as much as Christmas.

David complained about treacly holiday movies and shopping never without resentment.

But his Grinch-like presence eventually became a savior.

The invites began to wane until, eventually, they ceased altogether, and then it finally happened I was to be alone on Christmas Day. Alone! Christmas Day! he continued. All those years of complaining and kvetching finally paid off. I was the envy of everyone I knew.

Now, he gushed, Eating Chinese food by myself on Christmas Day has become a cherished yearly ritual, which I look forward to like the ending of construction on the house next door.
