Personally I'd love the idea.
One day a year when I had absolutely nothing to do but suit myself.

What about being lonely

@juiceyangel333: I used to think about that.
But then I went through a period where people would invite me to their place for Christmas Day.
So I'd say thank you and go.
But I didn't enjoy it.
I think. If I analyse it. I associate Christmas with the times when I was young.
It was exciting; fun; and not just the present thing. But because it was a chance for family to see each other. To laugh, joke, have fun. Eat way too much. Drink way too much ! But everyone breathed a little easier ! Smiled more !
And as those you love fade away, either through moving away or even passing away. It just reminds me of how much I miss them.
So. These days I work over Christmas. I know my folks and my children(who live two hundred +miles away) are busy and happy with their own families. And that suits me.

@juiceyangel333: Very little family left alive, and my kids will be with their mom. I don't like it but I don't have a choice.

No but they are free to celebrate their festivities too

Maybe she means, anyone who doesn't want to spend Christmas alone. I personally know Hindus, Muslims and Jewish friends who don't mind participating in the Christmas season, and especially enjoy the time off work. Just sayin'.
