I don't really wanna do Christmas anymore

I think the seeing family is good but it's more of a capitalist "support the economy" day for most people. Which is strange as Jesus was the least materialistic person ever.

I'm ditching Christmas dinners and doing a bbq instead. It should be a day where you do nice things for others and the community, rather than be pressured into buying people things and spending lots of money.

Then don't be like most people. Do Christmas that makes Christmas for you!

Though the first ever Christmas did involve ridiculously expensive presents too...

{@joeyyy] yes i rather agree with you on this christmas as lost its real meaning in a lot of way . i am not a religious person by any stretch of the imagination but it has just become a massive sales pitch

I think we should dial back Christmas a shit ton. It's become a time of anxiety for a lot of people instead of a celebration. Chill with the gift giving and over the top everything.

I have Nieces and Nephews I get presents for and cook a big feed for any of the family who wants to come round.

90% of small businesses are GONE forever and the ones remaining NEED this season to stay in business all year 70% of their revenue comes from the playoffs . . . no one will be able to afford to buy anything since the war on the middle class upped

@scrood Yup. There's people who get into debt because of it. Peeps can't afford to spend a lot this year regardless.

I like the dinner because of its communal aspect, and you can cook good food cheaply relatively

But as far as presents I don’t stress too much
I just want my loved ones to know I care
So I buy one simple thing each
I’m thinking of trying to craft some presents too, and cards

If that’s your argument for Jesus not liking Christmas, wait until you see what the Bible says about Christmas trees
