As a non Christian, I resent feeling pressured to do anything Christmas related. Feeling forced to spend money on secret Santa's where you exchange gifts nobody really wanted. Feeling you need to spend money to attend a dinner where you make awkward small talk, and watch your colleagues get wasted and grind on each other. It is such a deeply cringey and obnoxious yearly ritual (not to mention expensive).
How do you feel about abstaining from work Christmas activities? Do you think not participating affects your social standing and career prospects negatively?
