I wouldn't say dread but certainly I'm not enthusiastic about it.
There are the family meetings which are really boring because I don't have anything in common with nearly any of my relatives. Or my parents are the ones who invite relatives to come over for lunch or dinner, and my mom gets all cranky because she wants everything to be perfect for the occasion. But in the holidays themselves is rare that we go somewhere or someone comes, and my family does little to nothing to celebrate.
Beyond the religious reasons, I still think is nice to have a time of the year to get together and have fun with the people you care about. Before I didn't care, but I guess that this year that I do have now people who I care about besides my family, I may feel lonely on those dates.
