I actually hate the big fuss everyone makes around it. If people wish me merry christmas or happy new year I just say "thanks", but I don't make family dinners (thank god) nor do I make any kind of festivity on any of these dates.
Anybody else just as grumpy as me?

I've trained my family. They have a great deal of tolerance for my special ways.
They know I don't expect any presents, don't buy presents for everyone and that I don't buy presents at all unless I come up with something special: If I figure out something I totally know somebody would want, have use for and appreciate, but still would never buy for themselves - then I buy it. Doesn't matter what it costs. Otherwise, I don't bother.
Likewise, my family knows I don't go crazy about food or festivities. They know I just want to relax, drink single malt together with my brother-in-law, read a thick book and chat about video games with my nephew.
But I used to hate the chaos and stress. But I've removed the chaos from my Christmas and replaced stress with peace, and Christmas is still important.

hmm even though I'm an atheist these days, I still enjoy Christmas. I guess it comes from nothing but warm memories I've shared with my family growing up. I still decorate, I like cooking, I'll gladly wish someone a Merry Christmas and I actually enjoy picking out gifts for loved ones. If that makes me a hypocrite, I don't really care.
If there is one thing I'm not particularly fond of it's Christmas music, or my mother guilting me to go to church with her one time out of the year. I only find the music obnoxious because they play it non stop everywhere you go right after Thanksgiving here.
I didn't have a great Christmas this year but that's because I didn't feel well.

Last year I spent Christmas on my girlfriend's house and it was cool, I couldn't this year, but I don't care much, christmas just isn't a big deal to me. I'm actually glad I won't dinner with my family, because the only person I like in my family besides my mother is one of my aunts and one of my uncles. The rest I really wouldn't like to have a long dinner with them. As for buying gifts for loved ones, I do it whenever I feel like it.

I actually didn't see the part about New years but what can I say? I'm blind. I too buy gifts for loved ones whenever I feel like it, but I do use Christmas to splurge a bit extra when I otherwise wouldn't. Throughout most of the year I'm very money conscious with my spending habits. Christmas is also one of the few times my entire family has the time to get together, so that's another reason I appreciate it. I can relate to not liking all family members though, I've had a few that made me miserable growing up but once they're out of your life, everything starts to look a whole lot brighter. New year's I've never cared for because I don't like crowds but my loved one helps make it enjoyable.

I am very fond of Christmas, mostly for the nostalgic and warm feelings it brings me. The shiny, flashy lights, appreciating family and friends (which one should do everyday, yes, but taking a day to zero in on that companionship is pretty nice), giving special gifts to others, and I am one of those terrible people who loves the classic carols and isn't too bothered that they're played 8 billion times between Thanksgiving and Christmas. New Year's, I could give or take. I do enjoy fireworks, but not at midnight (I'd rather tickle my pyrotechnic joy a little earlier in the night on 4th of July). I appreciate the concept of celebrating and ringing in a new year full of potential. But New Year's Eve was my mother's birthday and after her suicide nearly 7 years ago now, that still honestly just kills any buzz I might have felt about the holiday. There is forever the specter of her being gone looming over the day for me. So, I generally just stay home - light a candle on either side of her urn, maybe steam up a bushel of oysters in the backyard, have a few cocktails by the small bonfire, and go to bed at 12:01am. The only thing I am actually looking forward to about New Year's this year is having champagne the next morning while lounging in our redneck inflatable hot tub on the back porch.

Christmas is just depressing. It reminds me of my family line dying off and I haven't contributed to keep it going, yet. My grandmothers are gone, my aunts and uncle do their own thing now, my grand aunts and uncles are gone. Now its just my parents my sister and nephew now.
Now I'll go into one of my dark moods again because I was just reminded of this.

I like the holiday season. It has a nice atmosphere that makes the cold of winter suck a bit less, and I would not wish that away.
The day-of is largely just another day to me, though. Only, I am probably off, which is nice. So no, I don't really care that much.

Your dynasty is in danger. Just find a below average looking, virtuous non-leftist girl and marry her. Having not-beautiful children and raising them to be powerful is better than dying alone and destroying your family.

You sound perfectly qualified to write comics for Marvel actually, if you aren’t against the prospect of working as a cog in the proverbial ‘machine’ maaaaan you should send them your resume.

Christmas has always been my favourite holiday. It is great, specially now that we have a kid around; she gets happy and full of excitement and she transmits this happiness to us.
But NYE... I dread it. We just celebrate that an awful year has passed and that a possibly even worst year is yet to come.
