This is my sons first Christmas and he’s only 2 months old so still a bit young to get it all but can already feel how special it will be in the coming years

nigga went from opening presents with his daughter to posting on KTT, boy we are cooked

nothing wrong with that

Holidays lost their charm for sure. But part of that is cause at least for me, a lot of folks done died

Halloween and New Year's the only classic holidays that are still hittin tbh

May Day doesn't mean s*** anymore because the proletariat is cooked

Labor Day is just May Day for liberals

MLK Day is diminished by the fact that MLK's legacy has been historically watered down to a shameful degree by the ruling class, even though he is a GOAT

rest of the holidays are just reddit s***

I'm happy today simply because I know we're getting this dogshit out of the way and won't have to deal with it for another 11 months

Your life must suck, wish better for you in the new year champ

Unironically @op the fact that old tradition don’t resonate with our Gen is the reason holidays are weird now

It’s our fault

read the title again If national holidays are a thing we have to confront reality, the origins of so many things we celebrate are either twisted lies or just flat out not meaningful if you’re not religious so we gotta make new ones or give new meaning collectively

once again yes you can do whatever you want individually or with your fam but america just becomes more isolated because of that

deadass more excited for new years than anything cause there is no lie or illusion to become jaded to other than time

they’re trying to promote juneteenth as a national holiday instead of just giving us our reparations, it’s cool if people are being educated because of it but baby steps i guess

Chestertons fence:

Never get rid of a norm, custom or tradition unless you know exactly what it exists to prevent. Like a fence, you don’t know what it could be keeping out.

If you investigate and find it was meant to keep out something that is no longer a problem, or something that was never a problem to begin with, proceed and take down the fence.

If it turns out the fence was put up for good reasons, and those reasons persist, do not remove the fence. Maybe change it, make it easier to pass through by adding gates, or repaint it, but don’t just take it down

Touch grass

I see what you mean now

Does it matter that much to you tho? Yeah, the history of things are pretty strange but should we stop holidays altogether because of it

why i thought the bald guy was zane lowe at first wtf

anyways i don’t have much of a family + grew up jehovahs witness so i never cared for christmas that much, that said its sad that this country is so cooked that many ppl just aren’t into the christmas spirit anymore

Fr tbh. Feel so forced to have to spend time with family on Christmas
