I've been in China for ten years, and Spring Festival is more meaningful to me than Christmas is. I'm not religious and I don't care about the holiday. Other Canadians and Americans here seem to think that I'm a grinch and to practically be offended by my absence of interest, but really I just don't see why I should be expected to participate in a holiday that's not important to me. I'm happy for others to enjoy it, but I don't want to feel pushed to participate in it. Not singing carols or wanting to make everything Christmasy around me doesn't make me a bad guy.

I think you just need to watch another Christmas movie and you'll be right back in the Christmas spirit!
