Is it normal to not like holidays?
Mostly.Normal for most people
Yes, it’s normal not to like holidays. They can bring stress, family tension, loneliness, financial pressure, or just a lot of fuss you don’t enjoy.
Plenty of people aren’t fans of holidays, even when they like the people around them. Expectations to feel cheerful, spend money, travel, host, or see family can make the whole thing feel more like a chore than a celebration.
Some people dislike a particular holiday or the way they celebrate it; others would happily skip the whole season. You don’t have to force yourself to feel festive. It’s fine to keep things low-key, make your own traditions, or politely opt out of plans that don’t work for you.
