[@evelynk.1839]

Finally someone said it! Personally I hate holidays too and I really don't want to celebrate Christmas or Easter but I'm forced to because my parents are conservative Christians (and I'm still 17 which is considered underage). So they basically force me to go to church and participate in various Christian family traditions and events during the holidays, because if I don't they say that I'm not a part of the family and they get extremely mad and upset :[

***** I've already done that so many times that they have literally said that they will kick me out of their house if I keep sharing my thoughts and believes in front of my younger already brainwashed by my parents siblings. (They on the other hand are constantly shoving their beliefs down to my siblings throats just like they did to me). So I'm afraid it's not just emotional blackmailing...

[@evelynk.1839]

***** Oh I didn't know that. I'm sure they wouldn't go as far as to throw me out though anyway as they're generally good people. They just aren't very open minded and accepting.

Well they certainly aren't perfect but they are doing a pretty decent job at raising their children. They could be better and more open minded but they could be a lot worse.

I hate people who get angry at "merry Christmas" or "happy hanukkah" and say "happy holidays". I don't give a shit what holiday you celebrate but you can at least respect the fact that other people celebrate different things.

As much as I don't really care as much as I did when I was younger , I never really saw the harm in asking off for work. Just coincidentally, there was a meetup event and Goatwhore was in town. other than that, I still share your thoughts on the holidays.

[@stormshred]

[@711methmonkey]

Between you and me, you may have just changed my perception of holidays, even my own birthday. I have to say, if I hadn't been given this much insight about how holidays really aren't all that special, I would probably just be another one of those slaves to the economy, and always having a happy face during all those other holidays. Thanks, killbot! :)

[@metalred74]

The best thing about some of these holidays is that a lot of the various music labels and distros have pretty sweet sales and discounts!

The only holiday I can get behind is Halloween, mainly because of the involvement of spirits, whether you believe in such a thing or not. The rest of the holidays, I agree, can end now and I'll be happy. They're unnecessary and so consumeristic now.

[@yungbagel5686]

Right after we celebrate being grateful for what we have on thanksgiving, the next day people go out and trample each other to get something for cheaper

[@shawmeck9323]

I 100% agree with everything you said :) Just get rid of all holidays and have businesses offer paid time off in points throughout the year. That way businesses can remain open all year round if they wanted to. If you want to celebrate your holiday, do it on your time, don’t force everyone else to have to be affected by it.

[@ldouma4059]

Dude you are my spirit animal, couldn't agree more

[@IRgEEK]

Another great post. Let me start with a disclaimer by saying I'm a 50 yr old geezer guy, so been through plenty. Holidays are great for appreciating Family. If someone seriously has had a bad upbringing and their Parents are spawns of Satan, then, by all means, avoid that toxicity. However, if your Family is just the typical, sometimes annoying type People, Family does matter and Holidays at least give us an excuse to be together, even if mildly forced at times. With many if not most Family members, you will find that they are the only ones that won't bail on you, especially during the toughest of times and you get older. Both my Parents passed within the last 5 years, and I miss spending time with them over the holidays, and living away and out of state from home the last 25 yrs, wish I had made more of an effort to spend time with them. One of my Siblings is the complete a total opposite of me, but even he has stepped up and had my back during some really tough times, even though when it comes to religion, politics, and other bullshit, we agree on nothing, and never will. As far as the rest yeah, mostly marketing scam. And as far as combining Holidays, I *especially* agree with a combo of Mother and Fathers day because Dads get totally screwed. As a Father of 2 myself, during my Kids young years, schools would make a point to take the time to make some super sweet and touching cards/handmade gifts/hold luncheons/singing programs etc. for Moms because of Mothers Day taking place during the school year. Dads, on the other hand, get none of the great stuff. Not even ashtrays like we used to make in Art class during the 70s for our Parents before it was taboo, and that's some bullshit. Probably contributes to the fact that Fathers day just becomes 'another day' for Dads much quicker than for Moms, even if the Dad was the best or only Parent of the two. As far as me personally, I now just take Holidays as a time for introspection. Not all holidays mind you, but certainly ones like Thanksgiving. Not because religious fanatic Dudes in funky hats, but because I'm not dead yet so there's something to be thankful for there, and when I take a bit of time, I can always come up with a few more reasons. And I get one day off of work to think about it. Keep up the great work though. I'm seriously digging your channel.

[@KillbotAndGorGorAttack]

Thank you! And I grew up in some pretty interesting situations to say the least, so a lot of this video comes from my background.

[@bezoticallyyours83]

The school had you make ashtrays for Father's Day?? That's a new one on me.

[@IRgEEK]

@@bezoticallyyours83 Yep. True story. It was a popular choice of 'suggested gifts to make in Art Class' at the time as they were super simple to make. My Pops ended up with several god-awful Salvador Dalí-looking ash trays. Funny to think about now. Different time for sure :-)

[@PetarStojanovic3]

Dude I didn't know the historical reasons for instituting Thanksgiving as a holiday until I saw this video. I always knew the actual history between the pilgrims and the indians, of course. But holy shit wouldn't the holiday serve a better purpose if we were closing stores and enjoying peace and quiet with our families if the purpose was to meditate upon the ending of America's bloodiest (and in a way the most tragic) war or to have a closed-store/no-work day as a big moment of silence to remember that we nearly brought an entire race to extinction.

[@Lunar_bloodreviews]

This year, my dad said we're doing a limit on gifts for Christmas. Before, we could get 30 gifts (Step mom, Dad, and myself) each. I'm 21 now, and i agree it was overkill. Imagine all the money they could have saved, instead of just buying things, half of which I didn't really ask for during the holidays. Let's also not forget Christians took yule from the pagans and threatened to kill them if they didn't call it Christmas. They took lots of pagan holidays. Sadly, the holidays can also be hard for people mentally. Christmas is hard for me because of the fact my mom isn't here with us, as she died when I was 9. I used to love it, but over time i just started missing her more during the season.

[@thestranger9226]

Your outlook is all well and good, but I'm happy to take the specific theming of holidays to break up the monotony of the year.

Preach brother! I went out and spent way more than I should have on my neighbor's little girl last Christmas. Her mother called me and had the balls to ask me to take the device back and buy her something else because another relative bought the child the same thing. I'd never have done that, especially since the gift came from a neighbor who didn't have to buy her kid squat. I have since stopped buying Christmas gifts for the neighbor's kids.

[@KillbotAndGorGorAttack]

Choosing beggars, tisk tisk... see, and I have aunts and uncles who complain about Christmas presents. Adults whining that other adults won't get them $300 iPads and TVs. The worst part is when I say "please don't get me anything, I won't be buying anything for anyone this year," then they ignore the request and act surprised when I don't reciprocate. I appreciate the gesture, but that's why I was up-front about "don't buy me anything."

Family and relatives are different things. Family are the people that mean the most to you, the ones you love and the ones who love you back. Relatives are just the people your related to.
