To me the holidays are already too contrived and artificial. Making matters worse is the self inflicted pressure and expectations many put on themselves when hosting or planning an event on or around the holidays. Too many do or attend these things out of obligation, not the desire to be with various people or a good time. As matter of fact I've viewed them as time killers for decades now. It's the sos. BUT no one ever wants to speak up or tell how they really feel and like clock work the 'family' holiday dinner was not without incident or a sense of wasted time. It's an ordeal. Ironically the party people seem to be the only ones who want to keep it going in some fashion. Others just can't fathom a different type of holiday experience or different people.
I don't know about everyone else but I am sick and tired of these perfunctory holiday events that people participate in out habit and obligation vs true beliefs & joy..
