I stopped celebrating Christmas when I grew into an adult and realised just how commercialised and how meaningless it was, since I'm not religious. I'd rather people didn't give me gifts, and only send gifts in return to those I receive from. But it is an excuse to spend time with families who do celebrate it, so I enjoy that, at least.
However, there's one thing I can't stand - Why do all the shops play terrible covers of Christmas carols in the background at this time of year? The end of my last shopping trip left me seething a little.
