OK I have a question for you. We will assume your not religious.
What is the point of doing the xmas thing if your not religious ?
The first thing that is confusing is xmas decorations, why, do you and whats the point if you do... ?
Second is the traditional dinner, I mean whats all the fuss ? personally I can't stand Turkey which to my mind is just a marketing gimmick for an inferior meat to be sold, brussell sprouts are just ewwwwww, cranberry sauce/jam with a dinner is pretty pointless unless you have thrush which i hear its good for and mince pies and xmas pudding are absolutely disgusting things borne out by the fact you cant buy the stuff at any other time of year thank goodness.
Finally theres the giving of gifts, purely a habit for the sake of it taken over by retailers to shift tonnes more rubbish. So you do it for what purpose peer pressure or habit or what other reason ?
Debt soars at xmas and the average family only pays off the credit card by March for it. Stuff is discounted hugely a week after the "xmas" week and you know your getting ripped off.... so why spend like a nutjob for a date when a week or less later you can get the same stuff for half the price.
So what is the point of it all ?
Best reason I can come up with is...... Its for the kids and to see family.... other than that I find it all a bit pointless.
