Or Bitchmas, as I like to call it...
Do you partake? What are your thoughts?
Personally, I refuse to be a part of it. No presents, no tree, no santa, no cards, definitely no carols etc... I see this as my way of taking a stand against anything with a religious tone.
My parents have learned the art of exploiting the religion they rejected and we have a dinner on xmas eve. This is in no way religious though and was born from everyone being busy throughout the year but always having xmas day off work. And therefore having no excuse not to attend the once a year dinner. Lol.
I'm very opposed to the whole 'Santa Claus' thing. Encouraging children to sit on a strange old dude's lap in order to get presents seems ridiculous to me.
