We don’t celebrate the holidays. I do however dislike when people get so stressed over it. If it’s supposed to be about family (& if you are religious, it’s supposed to be about your religion), then why is there so much stress associated with it? Why do people rush out on Christmas Eve to buy a “forgotten” gift? If you weren’t thinking about that person, why give the gift just because it’s “tradition”? There’s no heart into it. What I like about it is my own personal life. We don't do traditions & when we did, we did it as a choice. Out of love for others.

Love midnight mass with the boys, Carol singing, Christmas Day dinner, fun and laughter with the family.
I dislike supermarkets packed to capacity in the run up to Christmas like the world was going to end and then half the food bought sadly ends up in the thrash bin, it's sinful.

Love Christmas, but I don't go 'all out' like I used to. Still decorate, but toned it down quite a bit. Spending time with family and friends is a treasure and a complete joy! And, of course...'Don't Forget the Baby'!

It's become too commercialized for me. The majority of the population has no clue what the true meaning of Christmas in my opinion.

Having the days off.
Too many crowds. Not the true meaning. Yeah, too much commercialization.

In addition to what I said above I love having the Nativity crib on the mantlepiece. Christmas to me wouldn't be the same without it.
