Would you still enjoy Christmas if we didn't have presents?

[Swny Nerdgasm]

As a practicing Catholic I would still enjoy Christmas, it's a fairly important holiday to me.

 

[Simon Pettersson]

I don´t care if it is crhistmas or any other holiday. What I like is to spend the time with my family, give presents and eat good food.
My sister was born on crhistmas so that´s more special then the christmas it self.

It wouldn't bother me a bit. But as long as we're getting rid of presents, can we lose all that horrible Christmas music too? If we got rid of the bad music I might actually like Christmas.

 

[GeoFlux]

When I was a kid - No, if there was no presents it would be a normal day but more celebrated.
Now - I don't really care much for Christmas even with presents.

 

[FamoFunk]

I'd still love Christmas without the presents, I love the day in itself just eating tonnes of crap and chilling out all day with a christmassy feeling.

 

[StorytellingIsAMust]

Yes, because that means that people will stop asking me what I want and I'll stop feeling like a greedy scumbag every December. Besides, I'd rather be chilling with my rarely seen family than getting free stuff...unless I get a harem for Christmas, obviously.

 

[everythingbeeps]

I'd enjoy it way more. I hate presents.

 

[SwimmingRock]

honestly, I don't like it all that much even WITH the presents.

Bingo bango. I don't celebrate Christmas as is, avoid it as much as possible, skip the family Christmas dinner every year and usually don't even get any presents. Furthermore, I'm no longer a student and my work doesn't give holidays off, so Christmas is worth absolutely fuck all to me (okay, not entirely true. I do get paid 200% for working Christmas and New Years), but all the advertisements and decorations get on my nerves. If it were up to me, we'd call the whole thing off.

After 5 years of being far away for studies, I gotta say that I like it with or without. Seeing familiar faces is what it comes down to.

 

[TehCookie]

Not at all, they are the only thing that make it bearably. I don't know what it is about Christmas, but my family doesn't get together to have fun we celebrate the holiday formally which means no crazy behaviors. I see all my family at the family reunion anyways and that has no obligation on how to act so it's just getting together and partying.

 

[Kaytastrophe]

Call me materialistic but I really enjoy the presents aspect. However for me, it is not the getting of gifts which I enjoy but rather giving the gifts others. I love seeing my loved ones happy when I give them presents.

 

[Pikey Mikey]

Of course, because Christmas is one of the few times we four "children" (18(me),24,28,30) are together and then the family socializes, we drink Mulled Wine, play some Risk and have fun.

 

[mionic]

Hard to say, really, it would be nicer as I don't have to buy presents, but Y'now, there isn't really much else that I like about Christmas, sure it is nice to gather up and I dunno, be nice to each other, but why can't we do that all the time instead? Also, call me antisocial, but I personally don't really like it when EVERYONE has to be at the same place at the same time.

 

[Kriptonite]

Of course I would! I tell everyone every year, "You don't have to get me anything, I promise." Yet the gifts still flood in.

 

[Jazoni89]

I don't even have a lot of presents at my age, so I'm just using this year's Christmas as a reason to be with my little niece.

Being with her is enough for me, and seeing her unwrap all her present will be the highlight for me this year.

 

[Colour Scientist]

I fucking love Christmas.
Once you get passed your teens you don't get very many presents so that doesn't bother me.
I love the lights, the songs and the tinsel.

Everything is that little bit more cheerful for a month.

 

[Imre Csete]

Yes.

The best part of Christmas is the feast we always prepare anyway. Mhhhm, roasted duck, do want.
