I Hate the Holidays

Not "hate" per se, I just kinda become a scrooge when days like this hit, before I got tired of commercial stuff in general, but now when it comes down to it just seeing people act nice on these short days of the year and not the rest of the 365, I just detest that idea in more ways than one and just.. kinda wake up in a shitty mood nkt wanting to go near anyone lol. I don't necessarily celebrate nor do I wish for anyone to stop, some people have their reasons but the bigger majority just do it for the wrong reasons and It's like a defense mechanism for myself to keep away, especially from friends and family lol. I do however hope everyone has a blessed day.

You dislike comcercialism and over materialistic expectations that come with it essentially.

Yeah, and explaining how I cope with it, not that it's ruined lol.

There is always a new way to experience anything. I love playing in snow and then relaxing inside. There was not as much so I supose that is something I personally like and miss about the winter ones. Sometimes I feel more connected to another holiday while one is currently going on. Like thanksgiving starting off christmas season. Both are gatherings and both can be loving.

That's a given, and I can enjoy that all the same with people I trust, but that's the weather and as of late these current years the weather hasn't really been aligning with the holidays like christmas for example, at least in new york in that sense, I love being childish and having fun nonetheless and keeping positive. But not when it's consistently shoved in my face that I should be even more cheerful on a particular day than every other day lol, I want to cherish not force happy moments, but I guess people experience it differently than me.

You want to experience it naturally and not feel obligated to be anyones puppet. @CasperOmiSam
