1. Religion2. Family
Do you all still believe in Saint Nicholas? Father Christmas isn't real, and even if he were- no, he's just not real.
Christmas as an adult is way better than as a kid.
Because it's fun and gives adults a reason to take vacation days and have fun. Christmas as an adult is way better than as a kid.
Because the majority of adults aren't autistic.

Holidays are for sheeples who thinks it's fun because other people are doing it, and because they're afraid they won't be seen as normal if they don't celebrate whatever mythological creature is being praised.

Yup. Russia is ahead of all by only acknowledging new year.Screw any religious context, holidays should be neutral.

For that reason I look at things logically, and that means that I include other peoples' feelings into my thinking. Guess what though, the conclusion I reached was that the negativity of Christmas as a whole outweighed people thinking Christmas is fun for no reason.
Yeah, Luciana, I felt that as well, but when something so extreme is the first thing that pops into your head, you just can't discard to use it as an example.

There is no "one" answer to why people enjoy Christmas, or any holiday for that matter. Some people enjoy the presents, some the music, some the decorations/atmosphere, and most the families and days off. When you work a full time job, you'll take any days off you can get, and spending time with family is never a bad thing, especially ones you don't see too often. It's just a nice comfy environment.

Companies manipulate people into buying shit they don't need all the time, but with holidays, people let themselves be influenced much more easily. Also, buying christmas presents are just bad.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2078358/Why-giving-Christmas-presents-pointless-bad-economy.htmlIf you want to buy someone something, then do it. Don't do it because other people are doing it, or because you have to. That is a shitty reason imo.Celebrating Christmas by cuddling with your family in front of a tv is just acceptable by my "rules". If you want to have that kind of a shitty moment, then go ahead, but bring in more stupid stuff and I'm out of here. Bring in the fact that you're buying gifts that other people don't want, and giving into what companies want (to make money at the cost of anything) and I'm rushing back trying to stop it.
I don't mind people playing old Christmas songs 20 days before Christmas until the actual day, nor the decorations and whatnot. I do mind that people are buying gifts just because it's Christmas.I don't like people buying gifts, and I don't like ^

Why the fuck is Christmas a thing for people above the age of 7?
