Over the years the idea of spending an evening with my entire extended family gets less and less appealing. The older they get the more insufferable and opinionated they tend to be (Gen X/Boomers). The kids are usually a bit better off but not enough to salvage the experience. So on a personal note I'd consider myself anti Christmas.

But this goes for any family oriented holiday, so not sure if it's really any different in this case.

you see I have an active dislike for the holiday, Spending time with family and friends is the part I enjoy but there is so much hoopla and the entire world reshapes in this very difrent and artifical way, and if you say you dont enjoy a part of it your jumped on immedatly

It brings some cheer to an otherwise gloomy season. I like the winter season mostly but the constant gray sky and leafless trees gets old and bums me out mentally. The lights and decorations cheers me up.

Sitting in my living room with all the lights off save the Christmas tree and sipping some eggnog while it snows outside. This is what I live for.

I don't really care about the holiday either. I just enjoy the soft lighting and it being darker earlier in the evening. It's more of the "theme" of it with the season. Like, liking the soundtrack of a movie or show you otherwise don't give a shit about.
