    As an American kid, I can say that hearing this makes me really sad that a lot of kids don't really get to experience the magic of Christmas. One thing I wouldn't mind doing at least once is being able to have a beach day on Christmas bc where my family and I live, it doesn't really snow a lot. It just gets miserably cold and my younger sister is always the first person to get sick (which just happened recently) BUT THAT WON'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT I'M WEARING SHORTS AND A HOODIE IN THE MIDDLE OF DECEMBER😆🤪

    My parents are immigrants too. They both are Nigerian but my siblings and I were born and raised in the States. I never had a "traditional" Christmas until I was 11 or 12. I also never got to believe in Santa because there were no presents or leaving milk and cookies out or anything like that. We were kinda poor back then so I felt like wanting anything for Christmas was greedy. I have 5 siblings (used to be 4 but my youngest brother came along ☺) and when I was younger, my mom wasn't even working so having food on the table and a roof over our heads was our gift. I know that my parents did their best to make sure we had a nice childhood. I say this as if I'm super old but I'm 18 and 3 of my siblings are under 15. Now, my mom is the biggest Christmas fan and loves decorating and gift-giving more than anyone else in our family😄

    this video was really comforting! going up with parents who each have a different religious belief we never celebrated Christmas because mother folows the russian orthodox faith and for her Christmas falls on January 7th and by then everyone is back to work so it's not the same. Also, because she's a very religious person Christmas was a time for prayer for her. Father being muslim doesn't celebrate it so even though he always made sure to bring me presents (because santa) we never really had that big family gathering. As an adult I like Christmas for its comercial purpose: nicxe food, decorations and presents.

    As a child , Christmas always made me excited, simply because of the family get togethers and exchanging of presents. It's just a wholesome time overall.
    As an adult, I always buy at least 2 gifts for all of my friends/family, I feel like I get more joy out of making someone's day on Christmas, even if I don't get a present.
    I'm not very religious, but Christmas to me means having a wholesome time with those around you.

    As a chinesse from a buddhist family but has a cousin of a christian family, I relate to this so much.. Growing up I would feel so jealous of my cousin spending christmas like all the youtubers and influencers I would watch. Having a massive christmas tree in the middle of the living room, opening presents on christmas morning, making sugar cookies and all that. I remember crying for 3 consecutive christmas because I felt like a miss fit and felt sorry for myself. But as I grow older I started to care less about cristmas and now I don't even mind not spending christmas "traditionally" anymore

I converted to Christianity few years back, now I have a job, steady income and I can make my own choices, I'm choosing to celebrate it with my family. I'm buying presents and I might have a mini celebration as of now.

I am shocked I relate so much to you, and I probably don't really make sense rn but yea there's a whole lot to it 😆 Fun fact I have never had a Christmas tree in my whole life, and till this day

    Hi Wengie!
    Sincce I live in post-Soviet country we have to celebrate New Year as well (it's like a big deal, we care about it way more than Christmas). But my birthday is at the end of December so it usually was like 1-for-3 gift(((( I was lucky cause since the Soviet time we have this tradition in our country when parents at work (doesn't matter what job you have) usually receive sweet gifts for their kids (smth like a small bag full of candies and veeeery tiny chocolate bars). So it kinda helped 😊
    But growing up I realised that I prefer that way of celebrating even more))) ...and I can always buy myself a candy gift at shop😆

    Birthday-Christmas presents are the worst! I mean, sometimes, it's a nice gift, but it isn't fair. My birthday is the 21st of December. *3 days before Christmas!* My birthday was apparently supposed to be the 24th and I'm sure if that happened, my Birthday-Christmas situation would've been so much worse.
