Thomas decided that he wasn't going to celebrate XMAS. Later he realised that he'd had the best Christmas ever. Why ? | ||

was it because he didn't celebrate it (by giving gifts, cards, etc.), yet he still received gifts from friends and family who *were* celebrating? So he got the most benefit out of the holiday that he ever had? | ||

Did he gain something materially? Emotionally? Were other people involved? Did they benefit too? Will he not celebrate again the following year? Will he benefit in the same way two years running? Could he benefit permanently? | ||

To clarify: So if he didn't celebrate Christmas every year, all things being equal, he would gain the same emotional benefit? Does that benefit last all year? Or is it permanent from just one Christmas-less season? | ||

Is it the lack of something that adds to his emotional benefit? Or is the increase of something? Is there something tangible that he wants to avoid? | ||

is what year it was relevant? could this benefit have been felt in any era/year/time period? if he had skipped a different holiday, like Thanksgiving, would he have felt the same benefit? did he do something else that day that was relevant? | ||
