Here's a thought.

If you want things to "feel" like Christmas, you need to put some effort in.

Put up those Christmas decorations even though it's a chore.

Buy a gift for someone even though the shops are crowded and wrapping gifts sucks.

Make plans with people you care about even if it's a pain in the ass.

Buy a stupid Christmas sweater and wear it. Do some Christmas baking.

And most importantly, go find the people in your life (probably women lbr) and thank them for all the tireless effort they put in to make sure you had a festive Christmas in your childhood.

Don't just sit around and refuse to contribute and then complain that it doesn't "feel" like Christmas.

#this is not about people who genuinely don't want to participate in Christmas btw #this is specifically targeting my co-workers/neighbors who are complaining #when a group of us have put in a lot of effort to decorate the shared living space and put up a tree #we organized a cookie decorating party and only 4 people came #we've also organized a Christmas movie for Christmas Eve and a potluck for Christmas dinner #i drove 3 hours to Costco and spent $70 on a turkey (hard to get in Japan)#we've also got a Secret Santa going and only 5 people signed up #and yet i hear people in the office bitching #like okay. if you want Christmas then fucking participate #sorry your fucking mom isn't here to make a perfect Christmas for you you little whiny baby #I'm working on Christmas too but I'm still putting in some damn effort #personal
