Christmas time has probably as many supporters as detractors. The religious origin of the festivity, the crazy consumerism and the usual overdose of sentimentalism and kitsch, make of Christmas a difficult-to-swallow season for many people. But like it or not, it's hard to avoid Christmasmania and honestly, there are better causes to fight for; so, in this case, I guess it's wiser trying to stop hating and actually enjoy Christmas (on your own way, of course) Here are a few readings that might help:

- If you are a skeptic because you think you're an atheist and there's nothing to celebrate, you may want to read why you can enjoy the season for no reason.

- If what you can't stand are those honey dripping Christmas films, consider watching Black Christmas (1974)

- If you don't like the gifts you get or consider them excessive, donate them here

- If you are vegetarian/vegan and starve at Christmas dinners try this

Now, if your Christmas skepticism is beyond hope, please just be happy. For all the rest, Merry Christmas!
