I was reluctant to comment here about that because I seem evil, like the Grinch, but someone has privately convinced me to participate instead of lurking.
Edit: When my niece was younger (she's 16 now), and I was dating another woman back in 2007 (were together for 6 years) who had a son the same age as my niece, I bought them a lot of xmas gifts which was out of character for me. I think kids make the holidays special or something. Lol
No worries. To each their own. I've said it myself I'm not very festive. Holidays are just another day when you're an adult.. at least that is how it feels to me lol I remember it all feeling so special as a kid, but I don't feel excitement at all anymore. That is probably why it's better to buy presents for children because their reactions are just so over-the-top happy lol
I feel like an imposter when I have to visit my SO's family during Christmas because I'm also agnostic, and they are much more religious than what I am used to. I go along with it out of respect and to not make anything awkward, but I still feel like they can tell. My SO is an atheist, and he doesn't let them know either.
I mostly like Christmas so I can be with people I care about.. and eat yummy food. Presents can be fun sometimes, too, but that just isn't as important to me.
