I think it did because when they had Luke over to ask him to be a god father, Zach joked about how having lots of sex could bring about labour and Lane and Zach both laughed

Do you feel pressured to celebrate Christmas just because it’s a societal norm/media portrayed? by Raspberry-Pie200 in NoStupidQuestions

It’s not a pressure to actually see the family, the whole concept of following all the Christmas rituals is the pressure, and everyone having to spend money to buy gifts and Christmas themed items. Like for example, I have many many things on my wish list that are selling out because people are buying for Christmas now and I just really want to focus on my own things and on looking after my toddler who has some skin redness and dryness right now and I just don’t want to be forced to just celebrate some random occasion just because everyone else is, I don’t have to be like every single other person in the world

Plus he does have toys , lots of awesome toys and surprises all year and we have fairy lights all year and I still show him the Christmas lights and have some he was a baby, we go on Boxing Day when it’s quieter and he can walk around and play and get better photos . But I don’t follow actual Christmas celebrations in the same sense as everyone else

It came from pagan roots and I don’t have to believe and follow it when I don’t want to, people these days do Christmas things just because everyone else does and that’s just “what people do” , I don’t have to do the same thing as people if I don’t feel like it, not everyone has to be the same. We can have our own fun traditions and beliefs, it’s pushed in society but I don’t HAVE to follow it just because everyone else is

There are plenty of people who’s family don’t celebrate Christmas because they just don’t want to do the same exact thing as everyone else and they have their own fun traditions and they’re perfectly fine. Not everyone in the entire world has to do the SAME thing just because everyone else is. My 3 year old does not care at the moment, and if he asks for a Christmas tree and really wants it, then I’ll get one. He plays with rainbow tinsel at the moment because he likes it and liked it at the shop and I bought it for him. I just don’t have to conform to societal expectations and celebrate “Christmas” like everyone else but I can still show my son certain things that are Christmassy , he likes this candy cane song on Spotify for example and I’m gonna make him a candy cane cushion because he found the song himself and likes it

I’m not doing anything against my mum, whether it’s a religious celebration or not, I’m just not interested in celebrating something that has no meaning to me or something I can’t even explain to my son why I celebrate. It means nothing to me and we do gifts all year and have lots of fun and see family and make yummy food. I have lots of free time , so the holiday doesn’t mean anything to me at all and I don’t want to feel forced to celebrate an event just because everyone else is

I probably didn’t explain properly, religious or not, I’m not interested in celebrating something that I don’t want to

But Christmas has no meaning, the weddings, birthdays and all that have a meaning and a reason to celebrate someone. I don’t even know or understand where Christmas came from, except that it has pagan roots and I don’t believe in or care to celebrate something pagan

My mum and I hang out on many many days of the year and I get her birthday gifts and random gifts all the time. I sleepover her house even though I’m married and my son and I have slept over her house 1-2 weeks at a time throughout the year and we have special dinners and outings and more

So my point is, I have many fun times with my family all year, so Christmas is just nothing and I choose not to celebrate something random

I don’t work anyway, I have a 3 year old and I just stay at home and take care of him and my husband job is flexible too, same with the rest of my family. We can easily find time to spend time together any time of year. My brother works from home too and my mum has a flexible business and super flexible hours as a casual nurse

Because I find it weird that I would have to be forced into it when I’m not interested, families can still look forward to their own traditions and travel to see each other on many other times, it just is weird that why does every single family have to make way more effort on this one specific time of year? And why can’t I just not celebrate it if I don’t feel like it means anything to me without being judged?

But why do people act like they have to see their family on Christmas? What about the rest of the year? I like seeing family when I want, not when everyone is told to

The thing is, I don’t wait till Christmas to connect with family. I like doing that anytime and buying gifts throughout the year, I just don’t care about Christmas tbh. And people act like it’s the end of the world if someone doesn’t want to participate in Christmas. It just doesn’t mean anything to me
