I have a no-Christmas-presents arrangement with my family and most of my friends. I believe I didn't buy a single present last year. Christmas is a very relaxed affair for me as a result. No idea why most people let themselves get so stressed over the whole thing.
I've always enjoyed Christmas. Not for any religious reasons. In Germany I had three weeks of no school over the holidays as a kid to play with my presents and eat too many cookies. These days my company closes for two weeks over the holidays, so it's still kind of the same thing. I usually play games and lie in bed half of the day. Perfect!

I totally suck at wrapping presents...
And I hate buying wrapping paper because it's so expensive. And it gets torn to shreds and thrown away anyway. Same with greeting cards, such a waste. So I often buy cheap ugly paper. And then it looks even worse when I try to wrap anything in it. And that's why I often just put stuff in a nice-looking bag that can be given to somebody else, sort of like recycling. I usually use one of the cards various organizations send me when they want a donation. Some of them look decent enough. But together with the cheap paper it's always kind of embarrassing.
I envy my friends who always present these beautifully wrapped gifts. But I'm too cheap and stubborn to spend twice as much money on a gift for a fancy look. ;D

When i hear Christmas music in the streets and somehow the people are happier and more fun and have more time for each other. And the streets are decorated in Christmas style yeah i just love that. Something like this or these

This thread as spurred me on to making a Christmas gift list for relatives. Have to walk that fine line between getting people something useful and not something that will never get used. (I have a rice cooker givne to me from i think 5 years ago that I have never opened. I should give it to my sister who gave it to me to see if she notices.) I lover rice, I just don't like doing the long cooking method.

I lover rice, I just don't like doing the long cooking method. I have so many relatives that it's financially impossible to gift to all of them. My siblings and I are on a rotating schedule each year, so we only have to buy for one sibling. I wish my husband's family would do that . Then I only get 3 big presents for my daughter from Santa. Jesus only got 3 presents, so why should we get more? That way, my kids will never be able to tell a fruitful year from a financially hard year!

Besides the warm hearth, good food and spending time with family; I also always look forward to the radio playing Christmas songs weeks in advance.
Specifically Chris Rea, Bing Crosby and all those oldie songs bring back memories and warm fuzzy feelings.
Also Last Christmas by Wham! is a timeless masterpiece, a cultural treasure for generations to come.

I was raised a Christmas-aholic. My mother and grandmother would start listening to Christmas music in September. It drives my dad nuts, it drives my husband nuts. So I try and hold out as long as I can, he says not until after Halloween.

This year our company Christmas party will have Nightmare Before Christmas as a motto!!! Best. Idea. Ever. There will be a costume contest, which is so cool. Too bad I don't have one and I actually didn't want to go to that stupid party this year. But now they revealed that motto and now I HAVE to go. Dammit... There is nothing that makes me happier than singing the Halloween and Boogie Boogie Song. In fact, I will now listen to them both again! What were you guys saying about Christmas songs...? Why, who needs them! If you'll excuse me, I need to practice my boogie man imitation...

Meh, Christmas is a day off and a way to get cheap deals on flights if you book them ahead of time. That's about it.
The only problem is that everything is closed.
But that's what you get when you're a godless heathen like me. This will be my first non-military Christmas since I was 17 years old. I expect it to be no-different than any military Christmas. Last year, my Battalion Commander came to my office (and all the Officers and Senior Non-Com offices), said "Merry Christmas", and passed around a bottle of Scotch marked as eggnog to get it past the Provost Marshal. Then it was back to work. The way I like it.

So I try and hold out as long as I can, he says not until after Halloween. The only acceptable Christmas music in my house is Snoopy's Christmas and the Pogues - Fairy Tale of New York. And they're only acceptable on Christmas Day. I worked in retail for a few years when I was a student and the Christmas songs started in October. Never again.... Your husband is a good man. Tell him I said so.

But I do love Christmas. In New Zealand (and other southern hemispheric nations) it is summer. Heavy, hot lunches followed by a sun-drenched food coma in the afternoon before eyeing the dinner with something akin to a desperate love/hate relationship.

I'm more of a Halloween guy but can't deny there's a certain special feeling of positivity during the weeks leading up to Christmas. I hate most of the music but nothing beats watching any iteration of A Christmas Carol the night of Christmas Eve.

I have a love hate thing for Xmas.
I used to be all Martha Stewart-ey- I had hot glue guns galore- yes- multiple- and I used to have a whole plethora of ribbons- and huge crates of wrapping paper. I am decently crafty. You won't find me scrapbooking but I WILL WRAP YOUR GIFT AND IT SHALL BE ART LIKE.
Then one Xmas my SIL saw my stash of gifts for my neices and nephew brother and her and said in a very hurt and bitchy voice "Wow Sumi I just taped and wrapped our gifts with regular wrapping paper".
I felt really badly and I was all full of apologies and explanations that I was just really really into having fun joyfully with wrapping and selecting the perfect gifts.
So I went basic to appease those in my extended family that are peeved at my panache with ...things.
Furthermore some of my people to gift are so wealthy that anything I would get them is basically useless. SOOOO
Now for the wealthy wealthies on my list- I get them gifts that are charity gifts. YEP. I'm that suburban mom now. "OH HAI THIS IS A SCARF MADE IN ETHIOPIA FROM FORMER SLAVES TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING". I cannot help it- I cannot think of anything else to get them. They have everything. So I just try to be thoughtful and not waste my money.
This year I'm knitting everyone something. At least the adults. If they don't like it IDGAF. I dont' expect anything from anyone. But if I get anything I am gracious.
Also my shopping list for Xmas is GARGANTUAN. I have 2 sets of in laws, BIL+his husband, my two brothers + one wife and a GF, 2 nieces, 1 nephew, my BFF and her husband and her soon to be babies, my own four children, my husband...and some various other children in our extended family.
So- I love it. But DAMN. When it's finished I drink a bottle of wine by myself.
