I celebrate what I celebrate and I don't celebrate what I don't celebrate.

That said...

Everyone who celebrates with me is kind-hearted and caring; everyone who doesn't celebrate with me is cold and unfeeling.

Conversely...

Everyone who celebrates when I choose to refrain is misguided and foolish; everyone who sits with me has their head on perfectly straight.

That's my lecture, and I believe my work for the day is done.

...you do so only superficially, without participating in the true, unselfish, progressive meaning of the cause for celebration.

On the other hand, *I* don't celebrate what you celebrate, and I help little old ladies cross the street every single day, uphill both ways, therefore *I* am better than you, you hypocrite materialist.

The airing of grievances doesn't draw its validity from no stinkin' calendar.

Sometimes I think that the only holiday I may enjoy without guilt is labor day. That's my contribution to the grievance pool.
