I just like the coziness and warmth from the tree and the lights. My house is coziest vibes during Xmas season.

I love watching the magic in my kids eyes as they come out Xmas morning and see that Santa came

I don’t go crazy buying gifts for adults… sometimes I’ll make goodies or do something small/thoughtful. It’s all about the kids.

None of it is necessary
And it really depends on who you’re asking for whether it brings joy or not.
Personally I think it’s tragic.

I’ve made it crystal clear I want nothing from anyone for Christmas.

I just want good company and food.

Absolutely not. I like the fun of giving, but I hate the gratuitous means-nothing gifting. It’s only beautiful if there’s heart behind it.

@JustNik Nik! Fabulous to see you. I for one missed your presence here. 😊💕

I really do not need anything other than GOD, Jesus & The Holy Spirit to guide me, and it would be nice to have a New Car and Home to call "My own."

All these material things like sweaters, who-ha's, Do-Dads, and trinkets I do not need

I have so many clothes/things that are not are not being worn/used that it's time to start thinning them out.
I’m fine if Christmas didn’t exist but I do like the music and the idea of gift giving but not the commercialization if it all
@BiasForAction Celebrate the winter solstice instead.

I never like most Holidays like Easter. Halloween and Christmas.


it's just too expensive these days. I don't care if we try to keep up with the traditions. I don't
Magenta · F
No defo not. I spend very little at Christmas.

Its a trap for money and we see people all the time spending money that they need on junk and doing without later or borrowing from family.

A change of perspective does you good.

I dont really need all my stuff. I just want it.
Bumbles · 56-60, M
I like it. All of the materialism, you name it.

@Bumbles Pretty, but zero relivence in life.
Bumbles · 56-60, M
@Lostpoet I’m curious what you mean by relevance in this context.
Lostpoet · M
@Bumbles It has no purpose in life and thank you for pointing out that I can't spell relevance.
Nothing wrong with stuff. After all, we're not cavemen.

Define happy, and what stuff?
@samueltyler2 Do we really need to be happy? People go to therapists and tell them they want to be happy. But Freud said the purpose of psychoanalysis is not to make people happy, but to rid them of neurotic misery.

No we don't need stuff most of the time anyway
Lostpoet · M
@YoMomma I think they are unnecessary but I also want to see new pics of your puppy so im kinda torn.
