Christmas, new years, Easter, and Halloween are commercialized to the point of not being even remotely religious now, so it doesn't matter much if you do or not

Hell, we haven't celebrated Easter in a few years now. Mom planned something for this year, but that's about it

Hello I am back c: I died to an assignment.

Oh, I'm surprised you've never heard of an advent calendar. I'm not Christian but it seems to a be a product for consumers. Not sure what it symbolises except the countdown to Xmas.

I guess there are also a tonne of secular individuals now. Australia is still considered an Christian country though. They bring out easter products right after Christmas which I find hilarious.

Thank you jacobgrey and Miky90 for the explaining (:

Akili: Not sure about Grog :o

Leo: I don't really celebrate much either, except for Christmas, Easter... and New Years because my family is so Asian (lol).

Poshi: LOL xD

Haha. Now New Years and all that is one thing I never really liked even back when as a kid I did the whole celebrating thing with the family. It was freaking scary time for me. I was petrified. We lived in a place where all people pretty much would go out and play around with their fireworks during that day/night and whatnot. the noise alone was horrible and there was no escaping it anywhere. Didn't help that many people were drunk and there was always dangerous situations. Later we moved elsewhere and in there it was much more likeable because very few people around and mostly they lived around the lake, just like us. Much nicer to enjoy the pretty lights that way as they are booming around the big lake. Also, New Years is almost as depressing as birthday is. You know, the whole reminder you're getting older and wishing for a better year, only for each year to be worse than the last.

I much prefer sleeping over any and all big celebrations like that. Now, if only the people (family included) would let me... >__>

Luckily my family doesn't celebrate anything except CNY in which we light incense and do offerings and stuff. Sometimes we do birthdays with just the 4 of us.

I think backyard fireworks are illegal here haha or you require a license. I'm not too sure.

Unless you have a license, they're illegal entirely here
Tho unless you're doing something like shooting them at cars, people tend to not give a flying fuck here

I once saw a firework disaster down the street and it was kind of hilarious.
Idk what happened but there was a man running away from a firework flying horizontally across the street.

I wonder if his name was Jason and he has/had a friend named Marcus

I saw one once too. All it did was shoot sideways into the pond, but it went off just before entry so it still looked cool
