Hating the holidays?

The lady folk are about moments... feelings... and emotions and whether it be birthdays, thansgiving, christmas, or the annual vacation they busy themselves from occasion to occasion year in and year out attempting to capture moments... recreate feelings and moments of the past and create new ones that we can all work to reproduce annually for the rest of our lives.

Sorry to be so frank about it all but I've put a lot of thought into it and that's pretty much what it boils down to.

This is why your question is going to fall largely down these lines... Women... No. Men... Yes.

Interesting... I am female, but honestly I don't remember "moments" very much, my memories of holidays and special times pretty much boil down to fun vs. not-fun. lol We don't have very many traditions, or "must have" items... one Christmas my whole family had Taco Salad because we were all SICK of turkey and the traditionals by the time Christmas dinner came around. Some years we do gifts and some years we don't... it really just depends on what everyone's mood is that year.

So, yes, I enjoy the holidays because they're fun to me, but if I had to live up to a bunch of re-enactments and traditions.... I might spend the season on the beach.
