    It sounds more like you’re just looking for reasons why your capitalist holiday is somehow more pickme acceptable than the other capitalist holiday.

    You’re not quirky and unique because you like candy more than presents.

      Wtf are you talking about? Are you that hard up for an argument? Lemmy.ml is thataway. Anyway I’m Jewish and have been my whole life so the three months of Christmas in America made me feel extremely isolated and excluded as a kid, but I actually got to participate in Halloween. You can try and invalidate the experience of millions of non-christian non-white Americans but that doesn’t make you quirky and unique, either. No one is thinking “wow this dude is so smart!” for pointing out the capitalist undertone that’s shared by literally every holiday in western society. Now do kindly fuck off.
