Does anyone NOT celebrate christmas?

Either due to different or non religious beliefs...or any other reason(if you care to give one).

I celebrate the Sun rather than the Son.
....and hate the pervasive and obligatory commercialism surrounding it.

That would be me.
I don't mind the holidays, but hate the fact people push it at you. They don't seem to understand their religion isn't the only one.

I do not celebrate Christmas due to religious reasons.

Sorry @aart I celebrate it and proud of it. I do respect everyone else’s choice and wish them all health and happiness.

I don’t celebrate anything to be completely honest about it. People get VERY bothered by it. Can’t quite figure out why

Spent the last 8 or 9 years not celebrating a thing.

Forgot to add, my kids have grown up not celebrating anything either. Birthdays, Christmas, all of the other retail holidays.

My other half is SO glad we met. No valentines anything.

I celebrate it for non-religious reasons.
You can have fun celebrating it, without being about religion.
Plus, presents!

Kind of an interesting thread, interesting to see the other points of view.
We celebrate Christmas, but I wouldn't consider us religious or anything. I've grown up without any religious influence. Christmas has always been about togetherness and family to me rather than anything religious.
I love the holiday, its one of my favorites. The above being said though, I don't mind why or why not you wish to celebrate, I understand everyones reasons.

Same here. I feel the exact same way.
