I would ignore Christmas entirely if I could.
I have family members who are really into it.
And the news always acts like the entire stupid consumer driven economy is riding on it. I actually don't care about that. But I bet if we did all choose to ignore it, they'd complain that we're tanking the economy on purpose. You can't win with trolls.
If my wife didn't have a Christian family that grew up celebrating it, I would ignore it. I grew up Jewish, we never celebrated it. I was always made to feel like an other as a kid for it. I still don't like it very much, but I go along with it.
The only Christmas I ever enjoyed was in the UK, where it was just about having a good time. I wish Christmas was like that here in the U.S.
What's wrong with tanking the economy on purpose? The economy has been designed to be unfair, unjust, and unsustainable, and I avoid contributing to it wherever I can.
