Traditions are great. It feels good to feel included and share in ones culture. It makes you bond with your closed ones and gives you a sense of community.
What's not great is the mindless consumerism of Christmas and the barbaric activities like killing lots of animals out of tradition. I hate traditions like everyone killing huge fatten up turkeys which often end up going to waste because everyone cooks too much during the holidays. And I hate bull fights. Those are bad traditions.
Good traditions! I'm vegan, which does exclude you from a lot of traditions. Or more accurately, it makes you see the cruelty of some traditions, and reject them because of it. Same with being anti capitalist and, as a consequence, anti consumerist. That last one alienates me from a bunch of nerd culture, too.
Oh man, we're the same. Also vegan here and anti consumerist. I'm somehow lucky that my partner accepted to not exchange gifts for Christmas, and my family has adapted to include vegan dishes for Christmas. But coming from a meat eating culture, I've let go a lot of traditions behind. On top of that, I'm atheist from a religious country, and queer. Sometimes it can feel very alienating, but luckily I've found my own chosen family.
