i don't like the fact that they are bound to a date instead of week days. cause that way it can fall on a weekend and then you don't really have a holiday. just a weekend.
As of about 25 to 30 years ago, the biggest thing I hate about it is how plastic people have made it!! They put up the tree Halloween night and start playing 24/7 Christmas music from then on `til the stroke of midnight Christmas night when, suddenly, it all stops dead and the trees and decorations come down that night and and everyone acts like there never was a Christmas!!
I feel you. When I used to work in retail the holidays were the worst time. Only thing I liked about it was getting overtime for that extra cash. But the stress level sky rockets.
@strateguy632 Not necessarily. In my own circle, we just give a few ''token'' gifts; they are often self made, or 'symbolic;' little things. This year i. e. I'll throw a large self made and overloaded pizza (I could not contribute much own cooking during this year, and they 'miss' it). Sure: there are some expenses involved. But here not for the sake of spending. We don't try to impress each other with 'price', but more with 'thought' :)

Take out gift giving , which I don't do and I love all the rest , only bit I hate is the full commercial element of it.

I hate feeling pressured to be around family I don't really want to see
@WhereIsMyMind completely agree
When I still had a family, the part I hated was the non-stop football!!

Gift giving, I always feel guilty for not getting good gifts because I dont have much money
That is totally okay, friendo.
The music in the shops. Whenever I hear carols I don't want to be there, and quickly rush out.
Some shoppers and bad attitudes that ruin the season 🤣🎄🧑🏻🎄
Gift giving by a mile. My roommate gave me a gift now I feel like I have to give her something too.
Jumping from family gathering to family gathering. I just want to stay home.
I love Christmas.
Working in retail,,,

The commercial/consumerist part.
but the money part is giving presents to family abd friends?

The commercialization.
