I dont know if its kosher reposting this part but I think the christmas part of my post was unrelated. I wanted to clarify I hate the music (namely the bells everywhere), the red and green decoration (and why are we bringing trees into our houses isnt that a bug hazard?), the weird hats with the puffy balls on top, the elves that are literal factory workers (also they are child sized in some lore) working for.. fun? The actual
idea of christmas Im okay with, you know the actual religious part and the whole giving thing is great. But all the culture is just bizarre, like whats the deal with mistletoe? Isnt it just an excuse to kiss in public or what? I just want to have the christmas celebration and none of the christmas culture.
The equivalent would be liking easter but hating decorating and hiding eggs (that youre not even supposed to eat). Though easter is nice because it gives the possibility for girls wearing bunny ears, Ive never really been into the animal ears thing but bunny ears are the exception for me. Edit A good way to put it is if you
could change christmas culture, like the costumes music decoration and stuff would you? (But giving and whatever is at the core of the holiday stays the same.)
that's because.
also, nowdays it's just a sales push and some free days almost everywhere.
Edit: Also I dont actually care about it being for sales, though you should really be giving gifts more than once a year anyway. Surprise your girls around the year sometimes guys (and vice versa).
