I stopped going to Christmas gatherings because my family wouldn't stop spending what I considered a lot of money on things I didn't ask for, didn't want, and have absolutely no use for. I am not going to let them label me ungrateful when I've made it clear there is nothing I want.
I'm fucking sick of the commercialization of Christmas. I lost my faith a long time ago, and even I'm starting to miss the values it was supposed to represent.
I have the same problem with birthdays. Every year since I graduated college my parents will ask me what I want. I will tell them cash or a gift card. I don't need any more junk. If it is an actual necessity I will go get it myself. They always get mad when I say that.
Personal issues of mine that no one asked for-
