Is it normal to hate holidays?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes, it’s normal to dislike or even hate holidays. They can bring pressure, family tension, loneliness, grief, expenses, or just a lot of noise and fuss.
Holidays are often sold as automatic fun, but they can come with expectations, awkward family time, money stress, travel, or reminders of people and times you miss. Some people love the festivities; others would happily treat the day like any other Tuesday. Both reactions are normal.
You don’t have to force yourself to feel cheerful. It’s okay to keep plans small, skip traditions that make you miserable, or find a low-key way to spend the day that suits you better.
