I hate all this god damn shopping traffic. I didn't buy SHIT for anyone, but I did make my closest family/friends hemp bracelets with either a clear quartz piece on it or some kind of tumbled gemstone attached to it with wire.
Yah, fuck buying shit for christmas, fuck consumerism.

I told my wife today that I would no longer entertain illusions, and I told her that I no longer wanted for my daughter of 6, to entertain these illusions either. I explained that feeding her illusions at such a young age, will set her future up for more of these illusions-- illusions most of us take permanent residence in this day. I told her that it would be more meaningful for me, and her, to tell her that Christmas is just another day, and some people use this day as an excuse to be kinder than usual, and give each other things. But that this day need not be deemed special, you can do this every day. My rather rigid and traditional wife broke down, she thought that I meant harm, or to strip away a child's dream. But that was the opposite of my intentions. Much to my bewilderment, I listened to my wife explaining to my daughter, not 2 hours later, that Santa was in fact, utter bullshit, and that these gifts come from us, and that this changes nothing. The absence of a fat red guy change nothing. My daughter seemed confused at first, but quickly understood. I am renaming this Christmas, we'll no longer take part. But we will perpetually celebrate.

I'm with you friskie. If there was no Christmas next year, I wouldn't shed a single fuckin tear.
I don't want any presents from anyone. I can buy myself better stuff than anyone will ever gift me.
GRINCH!

Dude that's weak "Hemp bracelets?" you might as well given them a picture from a coloring book that you stayed in the lines with. If you at least give cash they can buy groceries or pay bills.Hemp bracelet = ugly sweater that they won't wear.

What really irks me about xmas is the commercials on TV that make it seem normal to spend ludicrous amounts of money on presents. They make it seem like everyone else is doing it so you should too and almost make you feel guilty if you don't.

Spot on dude. I haven't been watching TV lately but last year I think it was, I seen a Lexus commercial about a husband giving his wife a brand new 40k model as a gift. Fuck outta here.
See I think some people can see past that bullshit and realize that that shit isn't real life. Some though buy into it and literally go in debt to buy Christmas presents. I know a few relatives that fit in that second category.
All we can do is laugh.

This is what advertizing is all about. The unsaid message, if you will.
Advertizing is all about making you feel like SHIT (they'll use things where it touches your emotions) and then you have to go out and buy it so that you feel less like SHIT. But then you have no money and you just feel like SHIT all over again.
Watch a movie clip on The Story of Stuff. It explains it very well.

I don't understand some of you guys. Okay, so you don't agree with the mass consumerism, neither do I, and so I don't let my christmas revolve around that shit. My cousins come in from outta town, we smoke, drink wine, shoot the shit, share some laughs. This is not something I can do everyday, Christmas for me is a time when family comes to visit, friends are back in town, and its just a good time seeing everyone and partaking in festivities. Plus, everyone puts up christmas lights, so I eat some mushrooms and walk around with my buds, mesmerized by the lights. You can make christmas into whatever you want as far as I'm concerned

That sounds like a good Christmas to me. We're all not that lucky though. My relatives are pretty lame in comparison.

how can you sell art but not do it commercially, making it to keep is not a commercial venture, making it for sale is, maybe what friskie is making isnt actually a wine rack but a capitalist pig

no. commercialism is defined as: "the application of both manufacturing and consumption towards personal usage, or the practices, methods, aims, and spirit of free enterprise geared toward generating profit."
If he is only making the money that he put into the project... is that not non-profit?

Technically speaking Christmas is supposed to be about being with your family or friends and spending time with one another...and celebrating Jesus's birthday if that is your cup of tea.
When did presents become the symbol of Christmas hell if I know but I don't care much for it. I get scratch off's, handmake things, I do buy toys for my little sister it's worth it to see her face light up Got her a build a bear car this year she loves build a bears!!

The presents are the only thing that make those awful x-mas songs and tv specials even half way bearable as a kid and as an adult with no religion the entire holiday is basically meaningless, I do like a nice ham dinner with the family though.

Being broke at Christmas is hard on people who are mired in poverty. Been there and done that! Let's hope all of you are flush come this time next year so the commercialism bug doesn't bite as hard.

My wife and I are trying to make Christmas a non consumer non materialistic non commercial holiday based on food, fires, Friends, family, wine, relaxation and love instead of gifts. We told Friends and family not to buy us gifts and that we would not be buying them for others. Instead we hosted parties and dinners and relaxed and caught up with family and friends and had fireside gatherings .
We still bought presents for our young nephews and nieces, gave a medicinal gift to a sick relative, gave money to my brother (he asked us for it) and ave Kratom samples to everybody. Despite our wishes we still recieved a few gifts and my wife and I still exchanged gifts with each other.
We are at least scaling it back and reducing he gift goin and expenses.
Each year it will be less and less until we succeed In having a truly gift free Christmas.
