CottageHore Posted November 12, 2022 Posted November 12, 2022 Xmas is my favorite time of the year. I have so many distinct childhood memories wrapped around this time of year and it evokes such an intense air of nostalgia and comfort for me. I don’t care about the religious piece despite being raised in a Catholic household. I just love all the traditions, the music, the snow, the decorations, the ambience. It’s so special.
Dystopian Posted November 12, 2022 Posted November 12, 2022 i buy gifts for people but none of that religious ****

I do like the overall christmas spirit tho with decorations, Mariah Carey and everything else.

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.

It's such a fun holiday so I plan to continue. On 11/7/2022 at 5:47 AM, Dancehall Queen said: 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. On 11/7/2022 at 5:56 AM, schnetzka said: 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. On 11/7/2022 at 6:15 AM, jezebelvictoria said: No. God doesn't exist.

I just think it's overrated On 11/7/2022 at 7:27 AM, Saddy said: Yes and only because of the food On 11/7/2022 at 8:19 AM, Siberian Tiger said: 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 On 11/7/2022 at 8:41 AM, Feanor said: 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. On 11/7/2022 at 10:02 AM, mercurialworld said: 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.

Kathryn Bernardo, ha impact o.t. yes. i was actually depressed when i spent 3 Christmases in Japan where they don't really celebrate. well that and seasonal depression On 11/8/2022 at 12:58 AM, Jude said: Thanks sis. Wait, Kat is no longer a member of INC? Good for her. On 11/8/2022 at 2:37 AM, Pop Life said: I don’t really know how to celebrate anything really. I struggle to be festive, though I do appreciate the general holiday cheer. On 11/8/2022 at 4:11 AM, Before Today said: 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. 13 hours ago, Boysdontcry said: 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. 5 hours ago, Zeferino said: 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. 54 minutes ago, CottageHore said: Xmas is my favorite time of the year.
