And then we have my family. We don’t do Christmas - no lights, no tree, no decorations. There’s barely presents and a good deal of the time they’re given before hand or at least you know what they are before hand. No wrapping though. There used to be loads of cards when my mum was a teacher and she’d get them from her pupils but I’m going to win the game of most cards this year with the three I have already and whatever comes afterwards too (family cards don’t count in this race). Honestly, if Christmas falls on a Sunday you can’t tell the difference from the meal either. Probably has a little to do with the complete disinterest in religion too.
Am I that weird or does anyone else not do Christmas (for non-religious reasons) too?
I imagine others do but I don't know if anyone else personally, to my memory (or I may have years ago but other than you not at the moment). But I mean like... here it's a federal holiday and stuff so it's kinda like... sort of a strange beast? Yeah. I need to make you at least a digital card WHUPS I am so late in sending everything out I've been so busy since like August.

Growing up ours had to go up after my sister’s birthday on December 15th.
This year’s tiny rebellion after 7 or so Christmases not living with the family, now I’m supposedly a grownup with my own home and a hairy Irish manbeast who I can make my own traditions with? Buying a poinsettia on December 5th. I’M SO ROCK N ROLL
ROCK IT. AND FUCK YEAH POINSETTIAS. We have ours year-round though they might have not been watered enough this year... hmm. I should go check on them.
