I applaud this. I actually never remember when Christmas is exactly because I simply do not care. I know when it ends, and I feel better.
Just because everyone is doing it doesn't make it special or have some intrinsic meaning. l'existence précède l'essence so to speak.
Besides, Christmas has become all about material gifts. I think spending time family is a good thing, regardless if it's holiday or not. Try to set apart some difference, at least spend a bit of time, like have dinner together and such.
Never mind the rest of the world as it carries about what was the holiday about anyway? Some dude that was born, grew up to be crucified, defies the laws of universe and physics to rise up from the dead?
I don't hate Christmas but I pretty much regard it like any other day of the year. For other's it's Christmas day but for me it's just Wednesday with more food and family time and christmas tree. I admit I really like the christmas tree.
- 3stripe 13y agoThanks for taking the time to leave a comment. "I don't hate Christmas" - agreed. I am labelling experiment simply as non-Christmas rather than anti-Christmas. My only regret is not finding some people to share my non-Christmas with. Maybe next year!
- glasz 13y agolet's start on the internet. i'm in. i have almost exactly the same complaints flying around my head for the last 5-6 years but just don't get around to say "no" to this crap.
- tunap 13y agoLong year with family, losses and bad news abound. For my 'celebration', I spent the last two days at a deserted lake in the desert. Was windy & cold the whole time, but it was solitude. A pair of bald eagles fished the shore by me for three hours. A coyote got bit by a heron he was sneaking up on. The ravens tried & failed to steal something... anything. I read half of "The Fractalist". Best Xmas Ever!
