I've been wondering the same thing, it didn't use to do that?

Re: Anybody Here That DOESN'T Celebrate Christmas?

CHRISTMAS has never been a holiday that I have enjoyed as an adult.  I always say I am going on a cruise and won't the back until it is over.  I never have though.

 

I go through the motions to make my DH happy.

 

To me Christmas is just a retailers money makers day. I would just prefer to go to church on that day and call it quits.

 

I am Christian and Easter is the most important religious day of the year.  At one time Christmas was not really a big holiday.  It has turned into a stressful day for many people.

How many of these threads have been started?  Every year it's the same thing and same posters.  Some enjoy and some don't.

Re: Anybody Here That DOESN'T Celebrate Christmas?

After I retired, I either gave away or thrown out the Christmas decorations including the tree.  The only things I kept are my raindeer antler hat that I wear on the 25th, rope lights that I  put up on top of my couch & the huge jingle bells door knob thingie.

 

I am rarely home during Christmas.  I'm either on some island under a palm stree sipping margaritas w/extra salt, on a cruise ship or at my 2nd home a casino.

 

This year it's the casinos w/3 of my girlfriends as well as cashing in on the after Christmas sales at Tangier Outlets.  Paramour will be spending the holidays w/his parents in Florida.  His family are JW.  Paramour is a semi-practicing one but still does not celebrate holidays or birthdays.

I don't celebrate Christmas. I'm Jewish. I do like all the pretty decorations though. And it's the only time of the year that people are nice to each other.

Being Jewish I don't.
The OP is aware, I hope, in posting her question that there are a lot of people who aren't Christians?

If there wasn't a first Christmas there wouldn't ever be an Easter!

Re: Anybody Here That DOESN'T Celebrate Christmas?

My husband and I quit buying gifts many years ago.  Do not miss all that craziness that goes with shopping.  We buy what we want thru the year.  Put a small tree up and have a special dinner, but that is all.  Still like the music and my old Christmas movies.  No new movies as they suck.
