I personally quite like Christmas. I know it’s very common as an autistic person not to. I love lights (as long as it’s not too intense), I love the Christmas music, the smells of roasts and tinsel (although everyone says tinsel doesn’t have a sent I highly disagree) I love the happy atmosphere that I feel when Christmas is around. Christmas is my prime time to get a visual kick out of staring at it all with out thinking everyone is staring at me because they are all looking at the lights too.
however I do hate the busyness of everywhere and how awkward it is to open gifts in front of people.
what are your thoughts on Christmas?
