I enjoy the fact that it helps me reunite with my family(I live away from them), and I like the gifts too, but I don't like it's commercialization.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

No, common sense kicked in at an early age. How does santa get in a house without a chimney???

No one around me seems to enjoy Xmas.
My mom hates it because it reminds her of when she didnt have enough money and felt lonely and left out when seeing the rest of the world happy.
My bf hates it because that was when his dad passed away when he was a teenager.
I dislike it because it just creates crowds and you get dragged into parties and get together but I am an introvert and hate gatherings.
On the other hand though it is good for the business so I always spend Xmas working and raking in the sales.

Go to the store, buy a sh*t ton of Christmas Candy, and watch movies after work.
You get to be alone and still enjoy the holidays.

Then I started to buy presents. I realised how irritating it was.

[QUOTE="GrindingAxe"]it was invented for commercial use only. If the people use it for family gatherings and getting closer, thats fine. But just like Halloween or Thanksgiving...it exists solely for the purpose of selling stuff. I buy into it, just like everyone else, but don't think for a second I don't see the real purpose. It helps with job creation so I'm not sour about any of it.[/QUOTE] Commercial use came later.....you seem to be confused on holidays.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

"Man can only endure a certain degree of unhappiness; what is beyond that either annihilates him or passes by him and leaves him apathetic." - Johann Wolfgang von GoetheI don't care about Christmas or holidays anymore since I don't get holidays off, so it's good if you get to enjoy it, but don't expect me to be in any sort of holidaay spirit because I'm going to be working.

As I got older the holiday became less about presents and more about the meals, desserts, and spending time with family.
