That page since my early 30s. It's not MY holiday, I'm not a xtian so I don't feel I need to celebrate it. I do like the little lights and put them up in my home but I don't take them down, I like the dim light as I have light sensitivity, can't handle overhead lights for more than a minute or two.
I'm fine with looking at others' decorations but I don't need to go through all the hoopla of a holiday that became a capitalist hellhole for most people, enforced by guilt and shaming.
As for my friends and relatives, they were a little off-put at first but the last couple decades we enjoy the season a lot more by just calling each other and sharing ourselves in that way. Once in a while a gift or two will be sent but not meant to arrive by the 25th of Dec. They show up when they do at any time during the year with a card that says, "Happy Birthmas!"
I really don't care about this holiday, doesn't mean anything to me other than to avoid shopping when the crazies are at it. I might enjoy a few after holiday sales but I really am all in with this lady who gets it.
