It wouldn't surprise me if you find this question rather stupid. Now, I'm not really religious, but still I have to celebrate these holidays that has to do with Christianity. I just don't enjoy celebrating a day that for me really doesn't matter at all.
Most people I know gets really hyped up for Christmas. I just don't see any joy with the whole gift thing, neither do I care for spending time with my family. If you haven't guessed it already, I'm not very social. It really feels like you're just trading items with each other with all those presents. Why not just keep the cash for yourself and use it how you like. A gift, according to me, is something you give to someone because you care about the person. Not something you give away to get something back.
Then we got new year. (Or what you call it, don't know if there's a special name for it).
I really don't find anything worth celebrating, once again, according to me. The next day is just like the one before, but with a different number.
When we get to birthdays, I wouldn't call them holidays, but I do find them worth celebrating. I also think that it gets the whole gift thing right. I would gladly go and get something for a person that I care about for his/her birthday.
It's probably just me being a bit grumpy, but I really feel like I can't be the only one who thinks this.
