I “opted out” about 8 years ago. I just ignore all the aspects I hate. I’ll hang out for Christmas dinner…but won’t accept or give gifts…within reason: if somebody at work want to give me a trinket, I’m not going to make them feel like shit about it. I’ll say merry Christmas etc It feels so good not to be running around at the mall at the last minute to buy something useless. Makes birthdays better because I put more energy into them.
