re: Why don't you do Christmas?

I didn’t have Christmas growing up. No gifts. No tree. Just a normal day.
My parents would tell you that Christmas was a secular holiday and had nothing to do with Christ and that we could celebrate Christ everyday.
I think they just didn’t want the stress
So now as an adult, I don’t have much connection with Christmas. We do gifts, and lights, and a tree, because it means a lot to my wife and I do want my kids to have those warm memories, so I try my best to help foster that atmosphere, but it’s all for them. I don’t really care.

I don't think Jesus would approve.

There are those that really are not into Christmas.
If you're not in to it what's your reason?
My Mom passed on Christmas Day, My Dad is long gone, have no kids, so no grandkids, Christmas is just another day.
Past two years I have gone to visit with a fellow TD member, have a cigar, and talk on Christmas Day afternoon. If the weather is good, perhaps I shall this year.
I don't begrudge anyone who does celebrate Do your thing. Its just not mine.

Because it makes me sad.
I actually really love all the things leading up to Christmas, but my kid is grown and I'm single, and Christmas day itself just kind of makes me feel lonely and that there's nor really anything to get excited about anymore.
I don't put up a tree anymore because there's no one to see it but me, and it just feels a little pointless.

Funny thing, Christmas season starts on Dec 25 and goes twelve nights ending on Jan 5th.

Not anymore.

Every year, it's not what Walmart/Target/Amazon want you celebrate but's been this way for over a 1000 years.
