Agreed,
I became indifferent to christmas (the gfy spellcheck thingy says I should capitalize the "c" in christmas, fuck that too) when I stopped believing in god, santa clause, the easter bunny and all other irrational things.
Since then when people ask me what I'm doing for christmas and I tell them "nothing" most of them get this "oh you poor guy" attitude, and when I try to explain that it's my choice to not participate a lot of them seem to think that I'm just covering up a sad and empty life and make it their mission that I have a "good christmas".
They just don't get it, and I've had to be an asshole about it a few times in the past just to get these people to stop trying to convert me into a "normal christmas person" like themselves, it's like they think I'm sick and they have to cure me. And then some get all hurt because I won't put my beliefs aside to accept theirs.
I've lost count of how many times I've been called a Grinch in my lifetime, I end up explaining that I'm not a Grinch, the Grinch wanted to steal christmas, I've come to the point where I just want it to fucking die.
Not everyone is "a christmas person" and the more you try to turn somebody into one the more they will resent it.
end of rant
fuck christmas
