No, not really. Christmas usually makes me horribly depressed. Why I am not entirely sure. I always forgot what day it is and so, I often get flipped out upon by other when they found out that I forgot the date or haven't bought any presents. It sucks when you are expected to celebrate with people you despise or have to by these people presents.
If I were closer to my friends or had a significant other, then yes, I wouldn't mind spending the holidays with them or buying them gifts. The holidays might then actually become enjoyable for me.
I hate all of the santa/lie to children nonsense and other bullshit. I hate how only Christmas and Santa are focused on. For once, I would love to see specials about Hanukah, Feliz Navidad or Kwanza on but no, they never seem to do at least not in my country. I hate that parents lie to their children. I was lied to and one christmas eve I was suddenly expected to have "grown up" and discovered the truth. I don't remember how old I was when I discovered the truth but I'm sure that I was heartbroken. I don't agree with making children deluded zombies. There are countless of other ways to preserve your child's innocence.
I hate how Christians have somehow come to believe that Christmas is "their" holiday and that it was started for jesus. In fact, it was actually a Pagan mid-winter festival, Saturnalia, which was used to celebrate the winter solstice to mark the return of the sun. Do you ever seen people being widely taught the truth on this? No. We should ask ourselves why that is the way it is.
Perhaps, its because I'm just really pessimistic but I hate the jolliness of it all. I hate the Christmas Carolers and I'm glad that I seem to live in an area that doesn't appear to have any. I also have a tendency to hate when people say "Merry Christmas" because it says that they more than likely believe that everyone celebrates that holiday when in fact, this is not the case. I think "Happy Holidays" is better way to say this without leaving people feeling offended.
I do really love the snow. But there are very few things that are just as disappointing than not getting any snow.
Do you like Christmas?
