Don't get me wrong on that. Truth remains that a lot of people do things because of pressure, and not necessarily because they would've wanted to do them on their own. That's the point I'm struggling to remake here. By the way, if you're alluding to Christmas as part of culture and beliefs attributes; that won't be correct because there's no where it's stated in the books that Christians should celebrate it. Not even Easter too. We should see the celebration of Christmas as more of a cultural and traditional thing. That was how the whole thing began in the first place. I think a lot of people take out the time to unwind around this period because it's a celebration that comes at the near end of the year. There are company and business holidays at such end of the year and most people utilize the time to travel and visit loved ones. Apart from that, there's nothing special about Christmas.
I am not even Christian, or even my nation, where I live there is like maybe 1% Christian population and yet we still celebrate "Christmas" not in a religious way but more of a cultural thing and basically just to have fun.
Life is boring as it is, wake up, work, sleep and so forth for most people in the world, it may not be for us in crypto world and could be a bit more fun but 90% of the people live wakeup-work-sleep cycle and that is the reason why we try to have fun no matter how it happens, including something cultural that was based on religion once upon a time. This is why I believe that we are talking about something that is very dangerous here if we keep considering it only in religious terms.
