Christian or not, how could one not enjoy holidays?

Okay... Christianity aside, I still hate how jolly can people become in Christmas. It looks like they've been saving it all from the rest of the year so they could bother to smile in Christmas. They all go "Hello how do you do?/I'm great. How are you?/Great. Merry Christmas". Why can't you do that in any another day as well? Just replace the last sentence by "have a nice day" and there you'd go. But no, humans are way too arrogant and selfish for that. And the Christmas mask would become boring if it was used every other day.

The first memory of past Christmas that comes to my mind is seeing my mom crying. It was the first Christmas I didn't celebrate, and never again since that year. She died one month later.


But heck... I don't want to destroy anyone's happiness topic, so have a Merry Christmas/Yule/Saturnalia, and a successful new year. While we're at it, have a great Easter day (This is not sarcasm, I do wish you the best for how long as you can have it).
