For all you Christmas Haters (you know who you are....)?

It seems that you can't mention Christmas - anywhere - without people grumbling about what a bullsh!t concept it is. And then there are those who complain about the commercialization. Or the fact that if it is all about Good Will Toward Men - why don't people exercise that everyday?

Here's the thing - you don't have to like Christmas - or even acknowledge it. But do you feel it necessary to pee on everyone else who seem to love it? I agree, we should be good to others everyday, but what is so wrong with one special day to reinforce that theme? Do you celebrate your birthday everyday? Or do you acknowledge it just on that day. Mind you - you all probably hate the ideas of birthdays too....

If you don't like the holiday - no worries - we aren't trying to convert you. But please - leave us be to enjoy the music, the decorations, the shopping and the festivities. Afterall - we aren't hurting anyone...

So that I don't get this Q deleted....here is my question....What do you love about Christmas most?

Update:

For all those who do not celebrate Christmas for religious reasons - media - I am a Christian living in a Christian country....celebrating Christmas is both my right and my joy...and I don't feel the need to be PC about it...

Oh - and - happy Hannuka

Update 2:

Don't you mean Blah Humbug?

Update 3:

Rio - I hate most popular music - and that is generally what you hear in grocery stores and malls throughout the rest of the year. If I can tolerate that, surely you can tolerate and ignore music for a little over a month, while the rest of us hum as we go...

Update 4:

AOA - do you honestly want to link that kind of behaviour to Christmas? Really? How bout laying it at the feet of the real culprit - the obsessive consumerism and the American Dream gone wild. This has NOTHING to do with Christmas - and you know it!

    I just came in to note the other answers. Don't mind me.

    What I love about Christmas is carefully choosing a meaningful gift and watching the expression on the recipient's face when it is opened.

    EDIT:

    Black friday is the only day of the year where people go this insane about consumption. Lines, pushing, shoving etc...

    It's related to Christmas shopping.

    What about those of us who hate Christmas just because of the annoying music?
