don't care at all, sometimes I even forget that it is my birthday until my mom calls me to wish me happy birthday

I like to hang around with my family on holidays and stuff. Like BBQs or Thanksgiving. I don't get to see my family as much anymore so its nice to spend some time with them. Thats about it though. Its just a waste of resources at Christmas. It really is nothing but obligation.
What do you want for Christmas? Nothing, if I want something I buy it. If it is to expensive for me to afford, its to expensive to ask for as a gift. I mean, when I was 7 and asked for a $50 lego set I might actually get it, but no one is going to buy me a tractor or install new hardwood floors for me for Christmas and I'd feel pretty bad taking such a large gift.
So you end up getting all this useless junk that just takes up space and wastes some one else's money. And even if you wanted something, they usually buy you the wrong one. And now you're obligated to deal with it since it was a gift. Like if its a chair, you either have to live with the ugly chair, store it somewhere or deal with the hassle and potential annoyance of swapping it for one you do want.
And when you're giving gifts, you never know what to get them. And you get mad at them for being exactly like you, and not needing or wanting anything. And the gift always kind of sucks that you get and you know it but you don't care because you don't have all day to go shopping. The few times I've actually managed to find a thoughtful gift that I knew my parents would like, it was only $20 and I felt like a cheapass. Stupid isn't it? That you have to buy some pile of crap that adds up to X dollars wasted to feel like you're meeting your obligation?
Thats what Christmas is all about. Pointless chores that cost you money and in return you usually receive a pile of semi-worthless garbage you never wanted and now have to deal with. I've at least circumvented the last part by not buying any clothes for myself all year and then asking for those every Christmas.

I really don't care. I guess it helps (or doesn't help, depending on how you look at it) that my birthday is on Dec. 24.
I don't see what the big deal about birthdays are.
Edit: I should mention that I do care about being with family during holidays. My birthday just happens to fall within that time frame.

I am in my late 20's and I just don't care for my birthday. It was exciting and fun in the past (in the teens) but after a certain point, it's meh.
I try to remember other people's though, since they may not share my perception.

Don't care for my birthday, but any presents are fine. They're cheap anyway, I usually just get a magazine subscription and I'm happy.
Holidays just mean no work and late sleeping.

I think he was referring to "could care less" when it should be "couldn't care less".Originally posted by: Ns1

Ya no kidding. It's amazing how a lot of people these days can take something which used to be generally accepted by the majority of the public as a wonderful thing and turn it into a cess pool using nothing more than their own POV. There is no way anyone can justify that as being a good thing.

Well I COULD care less, because I still care a little bit. Whereas if I couldn't care less, it would be at the bottom of the totem pole. Now, britney's latest shenanigans? now THAT, I couldn't care less.
I do and don't based on the holiday. To me it's more about the celebration of people. If I'm busy on my birthday celebrating 2 weeks later is no biggie as long as people are glad I'm alive. I like most of the holidays I just don't get super into the gift giving. Don't get me wrong, I love my stuff but on holidays I get excited about seeing people I don't get to see all year.
