Quoted from Rdoyle1978:We do Christmas. We aren’t religious. Christmas was really a pagan end of the season thing anyway. So we do what you’re supposed to do - take time off to appreciate the good stuff we have and spend time with the people we love. Does that make it a Hallmark holiday? I agree buying stuff just because you’re made to feel you are supposed to do so is bad. But that’s only the point if you make it the point. Which I think is the OP’s point.
Good point
