Movie Characters With Anti-Holiday Spirit

Believe it or not, there are people in this world who just can't bear to get in the spirit of the holidays, choosing instead to turn a cold shoulder to all that is warm and cheery and peppermint-scented.

Here now is but a small sampling of holiday haters, folks who've embodied some true anti-holiday spirit. — Bret Federigan
