It is ideological or maybe just stubbornness. I don't like all of the
materialism, the consumerism, the rushing here and there. I used to make it
a big deal, and started liking it less and less, and one year just decided
"no more".

Christmas was a good and fun time when I was small. Now, it is all about a
month of gaudy shopping displays and crass commercialism. I buy no one a
present, not even the wife , or my immediate family. I'll say Merry
Christmas, if prompted, and my wife is still trying to decide if she wants me
to put in a small tree for her this year, we haven't in several years, but
she knows I don't mind doing it for her.

I always eat the holiday food, why not; but that's it. The only holiday i
celebrate the entire year is my wedding anniversary, and if I could get away
with not doing that; oh well ............................................
