How do you deal with the Holidays?

That's the best part, IMO.

I'd even go so far as to say I'm not sure how many people really do truly and genuinely care about the consumerism that has become Christmas. Most people (but not all) I hear who say that are people who don't really have opportunities to have fun around the holidays for one reason or another so the consumerism argument is little more that justification for one's own personal feelings of loneliness. OR...people who say they hate the consumerism aren't exactly quick to put down the presents and lawn-decorating contests so they're just saying it to try to appear deeper than they are. Either way, it amuses me a little.

I say that and live it, all year around, but I am probably in the minority. I am truely aggravated by advertising for the holidays out there to try and get the money already. This is apart from my SP though.

My family, being immigrants, don't really celebrate christmas at all. This whole tradition just doesn't mean anything to them. We do celebrate boxing day tho =)

Also all of my extended family is on the opposite end of the earth, so it's not like my parents can use the holidays to have a family get together either.

I haven't met my relatives in 8 years. I actually kind of wish I could, despite hearing how much u guys can't stand ur relatives. They were always nice to me, from what I remember.
