Christmas is a whole month dedicated to consumerism and kitsch. It's no surprise you're bored of it now.
There are ideas and arguments that can counter consumerism.
For instance - putting away same old decorations and reusing them should lower consumerism somewhat.
Wait, do people NOT do this? I use the same shit every year unless it's broken and I can't fix it. Usually my cats are in some way to blame for that.
Or you could be like my mom, who has to buy a new fake tree like every year.
They actually have these things now called real trees that are perfect for discarding every year after you are done with them.
I even paid extra for a biodegradable one!
They leave needles everywhere. Imo, better to just use the same fake tree for decades.
They have actually found way of making some of them so that they ether don't leave needles around or if they do that needles are soft. Super nice, it has been our tree type of choice for a few years now.
