Being a complete fucking dick on giantbomb and trolling the fuck out of people. Lock this fucking thread, this community is shit. Full of a bunch of dicks and teenage angst.
Nope. The only holiday that I enjoy is Thanksgiving cause it's the one day in the whole year that I get to eat like a pig and enjoy family time. I fucking HATE Christmas...yep, you got it..it's also my birthday. So, no your not alone and not a freak...
Well no, I HAVE heard of them, but I haven't taken the time out of my life to find out if they celebrate holidays. But now I know, thanks to you, and your condescending attitude.
I have to agree with this. I like meeting my family every now and then for a nice dinner, but the whole buying presents thing...I'm just not into it. I don't have the money or patience for it.
Well I'm Irish and an atheist so is going for a drink on a day off even if it happens to be on a holiday like christmas count as celebrating it even if i don't care ?
do you go out at all ever even just for a pint with friends ?
Oh, I used to rave like a madman when I was down in the L.A./S.D. area, I'm not saying I don't party ( or try to, fucking Seattle) I just don't do holidays.
@BigChickenDinner: oh ok man for me and a lot of people in Ireland at least holidays are just excuses to drink and rave like a madman . Sure St patricks day is national drinking day . Halloween is dress up like an egit blow somethings up and pass out from to much drink day Great Craic .
I'm about as far from being a hipster as you can get, but I don't celebrate holidays, either. I'm just not a very celebratory type of person. Don't like big gatherings, don't like a lot of fuss; I'm a hermit and I like it that way. Hell, I usually forget my own birthday is coming up until someone reminds me. Needless to say, I have a hell of a time remembering other people's birthdays. Probably makes me look like a jerk.
Even deaf and blind kids find reason to celebrate the gatherings and good tidings that holidays bring. Why can't you dedicate one of your fine working senses to appreciate it, even a little?

I don't celebrate Christmas, New Years, my birthday, Valentines day and so forth. I feel like I'm the only person like this, I'm for sure the only one I know personally who is like this. Anyone else out there like me, or am I just a freak?
All of the above. Me and my entire family don't celebrate them either. My family due to religious convictions (Jehovah's Witnesses). For me, the holidays are simply annoying.
But birthdays are a great excuse to do something silly. You went to Halloween parties at least, right?
Nope, I don't do Halloween stuff either. And the way I see birthdays is, "Yay! I'm one year closer to dying!"
EDIT: @GunslingerPanda: I'm 20, I don't celebrate anything because I don't see the logic behind ANY holiday.
Logic. There's your issue. It's not about logic; it's about fun, having a good time, getting together with family and friends, and enjoying the holiday "spirit." Everybody needs a break from the daily grind every once in a while, and that's what holidays are all about. So, actually, in that sense, it is perfectly logical.
We're not robots. We're people. Sometimes we just need fun, no matter how arbitrary it may seem.
Heresy I say, Christmas is awesome. And what is it with all the hate, is this some new hipster crap?
Pretty much. Makes you look cool. I enjoy holidays though there are some I could do without. I guess growing up in a jewish home made me like them because they always meant that I was getting time off from school.

How the fuck does it make you look cool? What kind of bullshit is that?
My best friend when I was a kid was a Jehovah's Witness and even he had something they called Present Day. I agree with you on the birthdays, because I don't like people making a fuss for me, and celebrating New Year's is expensive and pointless, but I fucking love Christmas.
Oh of course this is the internet so there's bound to be cool cats who don't celebrate anything because it dosn't mean anything like life right? pfft! what about your parents and family? unless is a religion thing or your some old dude with no one to share anything I can see your point but if you're a teenager or 20-something guy stop with the hipsterish attitude.
Well fuck guys, you got me! I'm just trying to be a hipster. I really do love being forced into some fake ass holiday spirit that dies away as soon as the holidays are over. I love celebrating holidays in which the original intent has completely been lost to history and the only reason they are around is to make money for large corporations. I love spending money to give valueless shit to little kids, and train them that love=material objects given to you by family and friends. In fact I think we should create even more bullshit holidays to celebrate! But we need to make sure that they have no basis in current history/events. Or even better, we could take some long forgotten traditions and turn them into some bullshit reason to go buy unnecessary crap that we can force feed our young!!! Fucking win.

You aren't the only one. This year I'm not going to visit any relatives this year for Christmas. I live in the same city with them and see them every week. What makes a day where we exchange cheap worthless crap so special? And birthdays? It's just the earth being in the same spot relative to the sun as it was when you came out of your moms vagina. Not worth celebrating if you ask me.
I know Lazlow and one of his good friends don't celebrate holidays either. They give some money to charity instead of buying relatives presents and then go to Jamaica where they rent a house and get high and drunk with the locals.
I used to celebrate holidays, but its gotten to the point where I just don't see why I should have to follow them as some sort of schedule. If you want to see your family just go out and do it. If you want to give someone a present just give them one. I should be able to give someone a cake on a normal day and not have them look at me like I shit on it or something.
Also fuck Halloween, I'm not giving your kid free stuff, do it yourself.
Yep. You're not alone, and you can't get blood transfusions either.

Cunt.
Haahahahaha! You sound like my wife when I forget something or say, "hey, we're broke, let's skip valentines - and tell the kids Santa is dead and Jesus don't break and enter."
I wouldn't celebrate if it weren't for forced family obligations. Christmas is just a hassle for me. I see my immediate family fairly often and most of my extended family are deadbeats, weirdos, or jerks that I don't really like going to see. A couple are cool but they are in the vast minority. Buying gifts sucks and I'm terrible at it. But I go because I'm too nice to say no and 'It's Christmas.'

When your cool, stuff like enjoying family and celebrating life bores you.
You're probably a teenager who's troubled by the world and its people and uses this "I don't celebrate" mentality to feel alive.
Really shows your intelligence when I have stated my age in the thread. In fact in makes me feel less alive to force some fake ass tradition into my life that has no correlation what so ever to my life or beliefs. I guess you really love bullshitting yourself?
Its becoming abundantly clear to me that most people in the world can only enjoy their family on certain days. And the only way for people to gather as a family is to do it on certain preordained days, there will be no family gatherings on any other days beside holidays.
You people lead sad lives if you only show love to your family on these days because those are the days set aside for it.
No. I don't really celebrate my Birthday - my family makes me, but if it were up to me, I wouldn't celebrate it at all. I don't celebrate Valentine's day, and again, I wouldn't really celebrate Christmas if my family didn't. I haven't celebrated Easter for the last.... what, 15 years. The only holiday I (Sort of) celebrate is New Years Day - but I don't go to parties to drink Alcohol, I just sit and reflect on the year that just went by.
I do, however, celebrate other people's birthdays and buy them gifts because I love my family.

You really do hate holidays. When Christmas comes go buy a turkey and/or ham, get drunk, and enjoy yourself.

Well that is some clever ass logic; although where I am from the cool kids live for celebrating things, it's an excuse to get drunk after all.
