since it's december 2020, christmas is coming up. this year i planned not to celebrate it due to my religion. however, to some circumstances; things might have to change.

since my family isn't too big on religion (namely my siblings) originally it was planned that (i) wouldn't celebrate christmas while everyone is.

i hate the fact that they seemed so excited about this years festivities and even got me gifts in which i return got them gifts all because i felt guilty. they KNOW about my beliefs, and said they'd give the presents to me a few days early before christmas rolls around.

i am also planning to do that. just to add, i am a new zealand citizen and covid situation is improving, but i think at least 6 new cases arrived in auckland??

anyway i am justice wondering if it is normal i bought xmas presents even though i don't celebrate it?

i am 29 btw.

    I don't think Christmas can be considered a solely religious holiday anymore, it's been borrowed and altered into a global holiday now outside of any one religion.

    That just sounds like slavery with extra steps

    It’s normal, Christmas pressures people to do all kinds of things.

    Normal to do that, I personally love Christmas despite some people in my mothers side of the family are just assholes about me celebrating it.
