I once was on-call at a hospital during Christmas. That makes it onto the list of the top 5 worst days of my life, and that includes the death of my beloved cats and dogs. :-P
I don't hold that against Christmas itself, but the Christmas holiday definitely contributed to the general misery of that whole day. Shit hits the fan a LOT harder on holidays, in general. I shudder to think of how an on-call night on New Year's goes.
Christmas was never a big holiday within my family. It was usually a quiet time playing video games or watching movies. My brother and I have "the Arrangement", which basically is "We'll just buy each other a gift, approximately similar in monetary value, and not wrap it or anything, and just give it to each other whenever during the month of December", which has worked REALLY well for us. New Year's, though, that was the big holiday among my friends. New Year's starts in the morning of New Year's Eve and doesn't end until 10 AM the next day. :-P
it's not christmas' fault that a holiday celebrating the second temple and miraculous oil is boring children because they don't get bribed into loving it
Hanukah doesn't have to be as big or anything. It just kind of sucked for me, as a kid, to see the whole world transform for Christmas with all the lights and trees and mall santas and Christmas specials and to know I wasn't part of it.

If I was a really religious Catholic I'd probably have to sit through 10 hours of Christmas Mass
Hard pass on that
Not a thing anymore. Get them in, get them out, the kids are fucking miserable sitting there and want to be home with their toys. 1 hour tops unless you're doing a midnight service, and I don't think those are more than 90min.
Ahem I saw that 30 Rock episode with Salma Hayek and the Patron Saint of Judgmental Statues, so I think I know what I'm talking about
Hey, you sit there as long as you fucking need to if you're hanging out with Salma Hayek.
Huh, it's not Selma, no shit.

That moment when you and your partner used to both be super into someone.
And your partner still is.
Awkward.
That sounds uniquely weird and uncomfortable
The wonders of being Poly. Boy's all 'Hey, let's get together with Girl this Sunday for Ponies and chill!' and I'm all 'You guys can chill' and 'I'll see how I feel on Friday'.
Harry, I think it's really strange to say that Christmas hasn't been religious for several decades and sort of couch it in a way that suggests you are speaking for the majority of people while simultaneously mentioning that you are very much in the minority with regard to religious opinions about things.

You can just appropriate the fuck out of the fun stuff. Nobody cares. When you buy a tree they don't ask you what your favorite Psalm is.

The omnipresence of Christmas is mostly capitalism making money off it.

God this is like that one time @SyphonBlue made a hitler joke isn't it? Why do you guys get to say that but christians have to be all "hitler was bad gosh."
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

I might gently suggest that this feeling can be placed squarely on how your parents handled it, rather than on the holiday itself.

You could have been part of it though! There's zero meaningfully Christian content to secular Christmas and there are no gatekeepers stopping Jews from buying a tree. Blame your parents, not the world for having a good time. It's not even to late. You could celebrate Christmas this year with your son!

Order one of the ones where they bring the same tree to you every year so that it's Alive and grows with Ems & Soy
that christmas trees smell great and the only reason to get a real one over a fake plastic one is to fill your house with the scent of pine
