This year I've taken the bold step in not celebrating Xmas at all.
For 3 years I have refused to say (christ)mas and i always refer to it as xmas.
Sure I will be buying gifts and catching up with distant friends and family, yet we are celebrating a break from the ordinary life of work and study and getting ready to welcome in a new year, rather than the birth of a dead man to a woman who could not have been a virgin.
A lot of acquaintances have been puzzled over my new approach to Xmas, which is low key and untraditional. But I have to do it and I have felt really proud about it.
I try and avoid those cringeworth carols such as 'away in a manger' and 'silent night.'
XMAS time has never felt so different, and so fresh, exiciting and worthwhile.
"Let's take the christ outta christmas
And celebrate the solstice
And let commercialisation reign
Cause its not gonna wane"
