Aesthetically it feels weird in the southern hemisphere, with all the fake snow and fireplaces while it’s blazing hot.

But coming from a catholic upbringing it was a great moment to be forced to interact with all them relatives at least once a year. Nowadays I don’t celebrate it much, so it’s just a holiday for me.

I can understand hating it, though. It’s a social convention forced upon all of us with no regard for us actually enjoying it. You can’t easily “opt-out” of Christmas if it’s important to people who are important to you.
