This is enlightening. As a Jew who doesn’t celebrate Christmas but has to for work (at a children’s hospital) and actually loves many parts of it, this still really really resonates. And I think anyone has the right to dislike any holiday or anything for any reason that matters to them - you really explained this and caught so many details. Thank you
Only realising this year how much I struggle with Xmas (despite really loving the festive season) and it is eye opening to realise all the years of years and disappointment for when things didn’t feel “special” enough was mostly overstimulation and overwhelm. I hope you manage to enjoy this period in what ever way feels right and joyful x
