OZZY OSBOURNE wants to ban Christmas - he’s branded the excitement and hype of the festive season "a wind-up".
The former Black Sabbath frontman is adamant most modern festive traditions have little to do with the true meaning of the Christian festival.
And he can no longer tolerate Yuletide since he quit booze, because he always treated the seasonal holidays as the "perfect excuse" to get drunk.
In his health column for The Sunday Times Magazine, Osbourne writes, "Christmas should be banned. Full stop. Although when I was drinking, I thought it was great, ‘cos it was the perfect excuse to get blasted… Now I can’t stand any of it.
"All this ‘10 more shopping days to go’ b**locks is such a wind-up. I ain’t exactly Mr Holy, but what’s that got to do with Baby Jesus being born?… The faster we get to New Year’s Day 2011, the better."

DAME HELEN MIRREN makes much safer choices concerning her career as she grows older - because she’s too "frightened" to put her earning potential in jeopardy by making risky decisions.
The Oscar winner was rebellious with her roles in her youth, opting for more controversial or risque parts compared to her acting peers.
But the star admits her desire to shock with her roles has diminished over time - because she likes the "security" of being able to rely on a constant stream of safe jobs.
She tells Total Film magazine, "I try not to be but, you know, as you get older you get more frightened. The realities of life start coming in on you and you realise that you do want security and so on and so forth.
"So you start working towards that and that’s when you start losing your idealism, which is sad." However, Mirren knows she can always rely on the stage if her movie career falters.
She adds, "I’ve always made pretty… out-there choices that could potentially have destroyed my career. But one thing I’ve always gone back to is the theatre. I always felt, especially when I was younger, that it didn’t matter if it all went wrong because I could go back to the theatre and still show people that’s something I could still do."
