Larry David doesn't get invited to holiday parties, but don't feel bad for him. He likes it that way.
The Co-creator of "Seinfeld" and "Curb your Enthusiasm" says he hates all holidays, especially Christmas.
In an article he wrote for Graydon Carter's Air Mail titled "A very Larry David Christmas," he explains, "I'm a creature of habit and can't tolerate anything that throws me off my normal routine."
His friends and co-workers got the message long ago and stopped inviting him to celebrations.
David says, "Over the years, my Scrooginess at these Christmas Day gatherings became so intolerable that in due course everyone realized how much better the day would be without my off-putting, nay, offensive presence."
He also hates holiday movies, holiday music, and holiday greetings such as returning "Merry Christmas" pleasantries.
As for the presents? He hates that too, saying, "The attendant pile of garbage that accumulates from opening them, an environmental disaster simultaneously taking place in living rooms across the country."
He says he spends the day alone on Christmas day, eating Chinese food by himself.

According to a study, the pandemic is causing more of us to drop cuss words. At least that's what we're blaming it on. It’s the juicy ones too, not the PG-13 fiddle sticks, or shucks.
Use of the big ones has tripled over the last 18 months.
Swearing on Facebook is up 41-percent and 30-percent on Twitter.
