Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Aesthetically it feels weird in the southern hemisphere, with all the fake snow and fireplaces while it's blazing hot.

But coming from a catholic upbringing it was a great moment to be forced to interact with all them relatives at least once a year. Nowadays I don't celebrate it much, so it's just a holiday for me.

I can understand hating it, though. It's a social convention forced upon all of us with no regard for us actually enjoying it. You can't easily "opt-out" of Christmas if it's important to people who are important to you.
