I despise Christmas, probably because, even though were atheists, my family and I have to do a bunch of religious non sense to appease our extended family. My favorites are Thanksgiving and New Years.

For Ann it's a bit like that, for me "Christmas" is mostly about Krampus and Dionysus.

I just love the shit out of almost every aspect of it that isn't religious.

even the camping-out for boxing day sales?

We used to do Kovert Krampus at one of my old jobs.  2007 was unforgettable.  I had all 10 toes before that year's festivities.
