You're not weird for feeling this way, at least your comment didn't get assaulted by the lovers of Christmas.

I think they mean that society is a human construct and have confused the meaning of social construct. Lack of inquiry and precision in terminology is rather abundant here in this thread.

Indeed, what is?

And in your eyes what makes Christmas awesome, engage in the philosophical inquiry of your feelings.

Do you feel its awesome because of your experiences or have you studied the history around Christmas and can include things that I may be ignorant of?

Simply saying its awesome doesn't provide anything for conversation, does it?

You shouldn't feel sorry, thats part of the oppressive nature of the season. We can all feel however we want about the season and none of those feelings are inherently wrong or sad or pitiful.

The notion that the Christmas season as a whole is useful to offset the hardships that the year as a whole has held is likely close to the heart of Christmas, and the growth of the season to 2-3 months could be representative of the dismal and dreadful existences we have come to live in our day to day lives.

But why couple that with the religious theft and oppression that Christmas represents, why not dismiss Christmas and celebrate exactly what you said? That is the oppressive nature of Christmas, everyone is all too willing to ignore its ugliness and accept its boons.

Historically Christmas was made to pacify pagans through their indoctrination into Christianity, we have come to ignore the way Christmas has become what it is in a similar way to how white privilege is institutionalized in modern America. Ignorance is bliss I suppose, but such bliss is oppressive, zealous, and wasteful.

Doesn't sound oppressive in the slightest, amazing point. Quote the grinch and prove my point further...

Lemmings to a cliff.

The only holiday celebrated for 1/6th of the YEAR...

I don't think profound is the right word to describe "the Christmas feeling," maybe oppressive, zealous, or wasteful may be better choices.

If you think of it in a biological sense, it is a set of traditions that has been artificially selected for for the past couple thousand years, intertwined with various cultures and traditions to be this way, its sad that we are captivated by such a machination.
