Christmas is sad

There's always this huge buildup for it and then after the celebration is over... it's just over. Know what I mean? I think in Orthodox Christianity they have a wind down that includes leaving the Christmas tree up until February.
I propose we do our part at The Shroomery and keep the board like this until Easter. If you oppose you have no soul and hate freedom.

It's a really sad fucked up comercial holiday, Christmas probably held meaning for people back in the day... Now its just about spending as much money as you can and filling your gut with alcohol. The big company's really push Christmas, if it wasn't for the economic value of Christmas I think it would be long gone

Christmas is sad. As a kid I'd look forward to it all year and then as I got older it just got gimmicky and a hassle. Going through the motions can suck sometimes.

I love Christmas. I get together with my family and have a wonderful lunch then relax the rest of the day. I don't drink on Christmas nor do drugs, anymore, it always kinda ruins it. We don't waste a fortune on meaningless gifts either, we just give each other things we need, really wanted or were going to get anyway.
The corporate shills can go fuck themselves, no hallmark cards, no crackers, no carols, no decorations, no pointless crap to celebrate a religion I don't believe in.

Christmas is my favorite holiday.
Happy for no fucking reason and a smile on my face.
Decorations and christmas music and traditions.
So excited to have my first one with my daughter this morning!
An excuse to celebrate life like you fucking mean it!
Huge fucking breakfast and to hell with health for a day!
I wont be with my family this year but will have my daughter for her first christmas im fucking stoked!
But gathering with my family on the holidays, everyone around, fireplace at my aunts, good food and drinks, merry making... Its the best.
Wonderful time for me...
We make it about family more so than gifts.
Jist merry making with family.
A little sad not being home but mt daughter more than makes up for it. Cant wait for her ti open a gift like wtf is even going on and then play with a toy for 5 seconds before moving on to all her old toys or look out the window!
Fuck mother fucking yeah!
Howdy Northerner 
Merry fucking christmas everyone!!
Great day to be alive!

As an adult xmas is honestly just such a wasteful holiday ment to line big buisnesss pockets and finishoit the 4th quarter strong. But as a man with children i cant help but think back on my childhood an the magic feeling of xmas in general and especially xmas eve and morning. Its super stressful but i love keeping that magic alive for my children and seeing that magic in there faces is totally fucking worth it. Im saying all this from work right now i wasnt even there to witness it firsthand this yr but the wife sent me pics and vids of the kids and i got to talk to them so its all good il be home for dinner

I skip over Christmas pretty regularly. I probably only celebrate like every 2nd or 3rd year.

Damn man working on christmas.
To me holidays are just days to devote to celebration with the family and remember whats important.
To be happy with family and to be thankful and spread joy

Fuck working, but you can go to non-christian nations like Thailand where it is just another day. Australia, Mexico, Costa Rica it is common to go to the beach with the family for Christmas. No trees, not so much shopping and other bullshit.

2020 sucked so this Christmas is much darker then it's ever been. I had a good time with family but God did I have to force it. I'm very happy all my family is safe and sound and veey thankful but in a state of mourning for all the carnage of friends families being destroyed. Weighs heavily on me each of these friends I've known for almost a decade now and it's such a gutpunch even though it's not my family.
Stay safe, enjoy your loves ones
Merry Christmas, we can however try and have one night of a good good attitude even if it's fake

The holiday can definitely be hard if you are alone and don't have anyone to celebrate with. It is weird being an adult and not having any strong feelings about this time of year. Plus I moved from Illinois to North Carolina a little over a year ago. It is so bizarre how much the cold and snow made it feel like Xmas. Without it, I cant seem to get in the spirit at all. It was 65 degrees yesterday. I have snowmen decorations. It feels very disconnected.

I hate winter to begin with because I hate the cold. I hate the entire month of December because there's so much traffic on the roads and I hate people's fake "giving" attitudes. If it wasn't Christmas time, these assholes would be their normal selfish selves. Oh so just because it's the holiday "season" , now you're going to be nice to people? After the Christmas season is over, people go back to their old selves. Today was actually a really nice day in terms of the weather. No rain or bullshit like literally every Christmas day before today.
I hate the whole corporatism around the holidays. I hate that there is Christmas shit in the stores before Holloween. I would like it better if they ONLY started selling Christmas shit the day after Thanksgiving. I wish people would leave their decorations up until the end of January or February.
I've been too broke for the last several years to get anyone a gift. My family knows they won't get gifts from me.
