In my adult years, I have been a serious grinch about Christmas. To be honest, I don't really enjoy the holiday. It's a conflicting time of over consumption, being exhausted, and constantly being asked to break personal boundaries in the name of family time together. I do not enjoy any of these things. The bits of the season that I do enjoy are spending time with loved ones, celebrating the turn of the season on the solstice and reconnecting with the natural cycles of the world, and, finally, the practice of giving gifts.
