Christmas used to be the best day of my year every single year. As I’ve gotten older I’ve enjoyed it less and less to where now I actually dislike Christmas and do not enjoy it whatsoever.

I hate that American culture has decided you must buy every family member or close friend a gift even though you may not have the money to do so. I hate that expressing your “love” or “care” for someone has to be in the form of a gift. I absolutely despise that my family feels the need to waste their savings and paychecks on hundreds or thousands of dollars for useless shit for me and my siblings and other family members. Every Christmas, all I want is to be with my family, to sit around and eat a nice meal and enjoy seeing each other. Every year I tell people very seriously that I do not want any gifts, yet they shower me and it makes me feel so strange.
Why is Christmas like this? Is it like this for anyone else? I can’t really go around telling my family and friends how I feel so as not to appear unappreciative, so I had to get this off my chest...

Christmas is fun for kids, getting presents and enjoying the holiday season. For adults, not so much fun, becaise they have to do all the work of doing things for Christmas, plus, having to pretend to enjoy the company of irritating relatives.

I hate the holidays. It starts with Thanksgiving and aunts and cousins asking if I'm seeing anyone and then someone announced an engagement or pregnancy. Then segways into Christmas getting presents for people I don't care about, then more question about am I seeing anyone and have to act nice to stupid relatives who quote chapter and verse from conservative talk radio hosts.
I like new years best I can just veg out with friends or by myself. And no Aunt Sally I'm not seeing anyone I don't want to meet the son of your friends or the son of Uncle Joe's business partner. I just want to be left alone, not expected to show how happy my life is.

For a few years now I've made a point to tell everybody NOT to get me anything for Christmas (or my birthday). I HATE getting presents and cards....it's just useless clutter I don't need or want.
I don't get anything for anyone either. I don't think it is appropriate to celebrate Christ with materialism.
