Hey crew,
Ever since I started listening to deeper music, I've drifted further and further from manmade religions and holidays.
I'm 32. Have a respectable job and my own flat. My ex in-laws sent me a Christmas card and I'm having a hard time not telling them...
How do I tell my ex in-laws to send me cards with more holiday-neutral language? It hurts knowing how invested they are in such a pointless holiday. I know they mean well, but I can't take it anymore.
Thanks in advance.
why does it matter? why do you need to impose your beliefs on other people like that? they can send you christmas cards, just as you can send them holiday-neutral cards. get over yourself
keep that shit to yourself unless you want people to think you're weird
who the fuck doesnt celebrate christmas?

I think if I send them a CD of "Opiate" by Tool they may become more sympathetic to my worldview.

Is it really such a big deal though? Yes, it'd be ideal to purge religious cancer from public life but whether your in-laws send you Christmas or holiday cards, won't have any impact on the big picture; and if they are old people, it's unlikely that reasoning will work on them because they are too used to this dumb shit, so they will just perceive you as an asshole, which is a lose-lose.
Also instead of telling them which cards to send, you can simply explain that you don't celebrate that shit ... but the best solution in a situation like this would be to do nothing. It's not like they try to convert you.

OP you have two options:
>Take the time to write a letter explaining your hurt feelings and post it to the ex-in-laws, who will at best not give a shit about your opinion and at worst gossip to your family and friends about what a weirdo you've become
OR
>Throw their card in the bin and get on with your life.
