I only really care at least a little about Christmas, maybe extending to New Year. More for the atmosphere and nostalgia, than anything else. Thanksgiving is not even a thing here. Any other holiday is hardly more than a free day off work, if even that.
Oh, and Mother's day. Momma raised me well, she deserves that much.

When I lived at my old house I would dress up as a prop for Halloween and jump scare the kids right before they got their candy. I miss it a lot honestly. My favorite holiday lol. An absolute gem of a memory I have of those days, was this family of three coming to get candy, and the daughter was old enough to sort of get that I was a guy in a suit, but she still asked her parents anyway and they gas lit her that everything was fine. lol she jumped really high.

Is having a suspension of work also 'peer pressure'? If it is, then I'm prolly forced to celebrate other holidays aside from Christmas. But I have no complaints; after all, work suspension is a welcome event for me.

I used to dislike them when I was younger; nowadays it is the only chance I get to spend time with the extended family.

Halloween is my favorite of all of them.

Other than that, it's nice to have a pre-timed reason a few times a year for everyone to get together and have a meal, given that there is significant travel time involved. We don't really do much other that that, so it's just a family get together.

I only like Thanksgiving because of the food, and I make most of it myself because I'm a damn good cook. I've had actual chef's tell me I should've went to culinary school. One even offered to give me a recommendation, though I'm not sure what all that would've entailed.

I don't interact with relatives beyond a phone call around Christmas and the occasional call for a few specific people's birthday, mostly cousins that I'm still on speaking terms with. That's about it. I don't really celebrate anything else.

I don't celebrate Christmas...

...and I certainly don't celebrate Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is not even a thing where I live.

Ultimately, I don't celebrate any other holidays either.

I do appreciate any day off though.

I love celebrating holidays as my family are a fun bunch but I do tend to get really bad migraines as a result-nyah.
