Not here. My wife would be the first in the house to get rid of holidays. In fact we didn't decorate or exchange gifts at all this year. Holidays are about getting together with family and spending time with friends. We did plenty of that but the materialism and commercialization of Christmas really ruins this whole time of the year for both her and I.
The stores deck their halls three months prior to the holiday to warm people up, make them open their wallet and turn them into mindless consumers. I say fuck that.
Family, friends, festival and food. And we do it well.
