Your thoughts on Christmas?

I would love it If I had people I cared about. Now its just another reminder

I always thought holidays are stupid, even as a kid, and still don't understand any of them. Every day is the same to me, I never felt the need to celebrate one day more than the other which makes all the other days in comparison to it just worse in my opinion. And I also don't like being gifted things or having to gift anyone anything.

I get that. Well, I liked holidays as a kid, but now it's just another day of a year, just like people on this thread have been saying.

Having to be with family for long periods of time is a bit meh as I don't really feel like I belong but I get free presents (tho I don't know what I want for this year) and money and tasty food so I feel more positive towards Christmas more than negative. Maybe its silly seeing Christmas lights before Halloween or even in August but I think thats just funny. Some of the decorations outside can be pretty and I like putting up the Christmas tree in our house. I can understand if some people do dislike or hate it, especially if you feel lonely or feel like its forced on people.

I agree with this one 100%.

I'm not christian so it's uncomfortable to do the christmas dinner thing with reading the bible and other traditions. But it's manageable if it's just my parents and sister, at least I don't have to go with them to visit my grandma where all family comes and it's so loud. I had to attend my boyfriends family dinner twice and it was awful lol. I don't care about decorations so if I had my own home there'd be no christmas tree or anything. The presents are a little troublesome cause I don't have much money and feel bad when people want to get me something fancy. Only thing good about it is having a couple days off from work

I get that. I am from semi-religious family, I never got into that. We read the bible, not something I really enjoy or care but for my parents it's a tradition so it's fine. Decorations aren't really for me either, same with presents. I get uncomfortable getting those because all I can give is something small. Well, maybe I just should stop caring so much, if someone wants give me something, then so it be.
