Yes.
You hate Christmas for entirely the wrong reasons, in my opinion. I'm pretty far from Christian, but I still do my best to enjoy it. It can barely be considered a religious holiday, anyway. I also avoid most Christmas music, although some of it is really quite good, and I generally keep away from stores when I know they're going to be crowded. And pine trees? Come on, yo. Dey's da shit.
I do have a hard time NOT hating it, though. My dad becomes a whiney and self-centered asshole, my mom gets really emotional about every little thing, and my sister acts like more of a bitch than usual. My brother's pretty cool about it, but I don't see much of him. I feel like the only sane person left on Earth, come Xmas-time. Meh.
I love Independence Day. The only thing I can really think of that sucks about it is that some people inevitably act like idiots, and thus the police are forced to crack down harder than usual. But that still can't outweigh the goodness.
Hallowe'en has really become a let-down for me. I'm not into the whole Hallowe'en party thing, and nor do I feel the need to go out and commit senseless acts of vandalism like my friends. I'm a man without a country on a night that used to symbolize everything awesome childhood. Weak.
