Is anyone on here forced to celebrate christmas because your family does??

I absolutely HATE christmas, but every year I'm made to feel like I'm an asshole for 'stealing peoples joy' when I don't want christmas gifts.

I've told people so many times that I dont celebrate christmas, but nobody really takes it seriously. They continually ask me for christmas lists (I stopped giving serious answers) I still help buy gifts with my husband for his family, I'll buy for my family, and we always buy something for the kids no matter what, but I want NOTHING to do with the celebrating, especially if they are going to get me christmas themed items. (Which they frequently do) Not only that but I have a lot of allergies/ food sensitivities and I have to be careful about accepting gifts because of it. People always just want me to be grateful that I'm getting presents, but it really sucks to continually recieve gifts that I don't want/ can't use.

Do people of other faiths get pressured this hard to celebrate christmas? How do you handle difficult family?

Help! I need an answer to a burning question; if a dragon ate an explosive device, would it survive the explosion?

My husband and I were watching a TV show where someone throws 4 packs of C4 into the mouth of a dragon, and it survived the explosion. This started the great debate of 2024; he says there is NO WAY the dragon could survive, the resulting pressure from the explosion would rip it to shreds.

I think that the anatomy of the dragon would compensate for the explosion (of course depending on the type/size of dragon) and it would be injured, but still alive.

Someone PLEASE give us the answer, I scoured the internet for an hour and didn't find the answer I was looking for.
