I also really love singing Christmas carols - which kinda sucks, because a lot of the prettiest ones are the religious ones and I have a hard time singing "round yon Virgin etc etc". I went to a Catholic school for about three years and it definitely left its mark - I renounced all gods and religion by the time I was twelve.
You know, it's funny how many stories involving or about Christmas are about people who don't want to celebrate it (Scrooge, the Grinch) being converted overnight and are suddenly towing the party line. I think there's a lot of pressure on people to at least fake enjoying the holidays whether they actually do or not - lest they are called a 'Scrooge' or 'Grinch'. I know at least one person who wishes we could just fast forward to January because there is nothing in it for her.
