Guest Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Here in the states it’s always been a big thing—as a kid I used to get excited for holidays like Christmas but over the years I prefer to spend that time alone. Do you celebrate Christmas in your country and/or home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jude Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) Not until last year. I was raised in a christian cult so I never experienced celebrating Xmas or bdays but now I'm free. Xmas is so fun! Edited November 7, 2022 by Jude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlood Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I don't simply 'cause I'm an atheist. I do like the overall christmas spirit tho with decorations, Mariah Carey and everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oktober Knight Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I do not cause retail ruined the holiday for me. Everyone turns into a needy kvnt and the crowds in public places are ridiculous. Not to mention I don't need anything so getting gifts is pointless. I did all my husband to decorate last year for the first time in years so we'll probably do that again.

kandicha Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Yes I do - I grew up Muslim but we have some Christian family members so we always celebrated Christmas with them (and they celebrated Muslim holidays with us). It's such a fun holiday so I plan to continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancehall Queen Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I was raised Catholic, but celebrate a secular Christmas now. I love gift giving, decorating, visiting small towns that go all out for Xmas, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnetzka Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I get together with my mom's side of the family on Christmas but I don't do it for the religious aspect. My family is religious but I just go to spend time with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siberian Tiger Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Yes for Orthodox Christmas. But I am not religious so for me it's just an excuse for having an extra day off and eating food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feanor Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Yes, I love Christmas, but more as a consumer and someone who just loves the entire vibe of the season. I'm not Christian so I don't celebrate the religious aspects of the holiday, but I love decorating my flat, going to the Christmas markets in the cities, going Christmas shopping, cooking (and eating ) elaborate dishes and going to Christmas parties and of course listening to Christmas music almost all the time for basically all of November & December. It's simply the best time of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercurialworld Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Yup, my family is Roman Catholic and I was raised as such. As other people have mentioned, I really just enjoy the vibe of the season/holiday more than anything else to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop Life Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I don’t really know how to celebrate anything really. I struggle to be festive, though I do appreciate the general holiday cheer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Before Today Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I was raised Muslim but I go to church for Christmas only because my Christian friends invite me and I like the festivity. In reality, I'm agnostic atheist who culturally appropriate religion's rituals and festivals. I'm every religion and not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boysdontcry Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Yes. I was raised on Christmas in the UK & it's just gotten bigger & bigger over the years. We tend to catch on a bit later than the US (Halloween seems to be getting bigger in the UK now too). I love buying gifts for people. I know it's not about the money and the UK is going through a major cost of living crisis at the moment, but I've been buying little gifts over the last couple of months so I have something to give to people. I also went to Church on Christmas Day last year & I plan on doing it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeferino Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I was raised Christian but lately I've been in touch with my dad's side of the family roots (Jewish) so now I'm like, just loving the vibes (the presents) as a lot of you have expressed.
