Is it crazy if you don't want to celebrate the holidays?

Not to me, I hate the holidays. I don't like the huge pressure and expectations that society seems to put on us all. We are pressured to get gifts for everyone we know now, and to feel guilt if we don't.

If not liking holidays is crazy I don't want to be sane.

Not crazy. I don't celebrate them much but look how sane and sensible I am. :mrgreen:

It could be called antisocial, but I don't think that sticks very well. I'm fairly friendly and sociable to benign people, I just don't do these "special day" things like most people do. Better that than being the life and soul of the ritual but having a nasty personality.

I generally like the feeling of the holiday season, but I don't enjoy participating in it. In a sense, it is pretty superficial since it really doesn't change much, if anything, outside of the holiday season.
