Yom Kippur and boxer day do absolutely nothing for me.
I don't disagree with this - we have a good group of friends who gets together each year, but it's just so forced. You guys have a good group who gets together usually, right?
All holidays are great because it usually means I’m not at work.
used to but not really anymore. We do a holiday party but not over New Year's. We just hate going out that night. Everyone is ********* and to get into any bar they jack up the prices. Not worth it. We are typically in bed by 11 that night lol.
I hate crowds so anything where I have to go into crowds I dislike. Besides that Christmas has lost it for me. Wife isn’t happy if everything isn’t like it was when she was young, which can never happen, so a lot of money is spent and I get to handle that and a lot of days with in laws and I have learned to basically dislike it.
I'm with you. As I've gotten older I have realized for the most part Christmas is more for kids. Obviously not a kid anymore and don't have any kids so it's not the big deal it once was for me.
I hate Labor Day because it feels like the summer is over. 
Thanksgiving has always seemed overblown to me. I don't get why people get so worked up about when stores open (or are closed) during this time. The world revolves around $$$ (unfortunately) and if a business thinks it can gain an advantage by their competitors being closed for a holiday and they open up with sales at 3pm that day, why not. Now Christmas is a sacred religious (for some) holiday and it's appreciated that people are given an opportunity to properly celebrate the day and what it's supposed to mean.

Hot take: I feel the same about Thanksgiving. It's a bunch of us white people patting ourselves on the asses for having had dinner with the indigenous people one time before massacring them and taking their land. That's all divisive enough, I won't even get into how mind-blowingly ridiculous it is that we celebrate this event in the ways we do. (Yes, I do know that there are elements that have to do with slavery in the entire history of the holiday, but that's not the premise. Nobody's making slaves out of lunch bags with construction paper cutouts in first grade, they are making pilgrim hats.)
