Calling all males out there

It's not as daring as it may seem. It's just that I've been reflecting over something today. Christmas is approaching and apart from a few people, nobody has expressed any happiness over this fact, or even reflected on it.
For me, my November and December are pretty much filled with anticipation, although for the life of me I don't know why since I don't actually enjoy the actual Christmas anymore, only the cozy feeling I get when I get to put up the Christmas decorations and enjoy candelit evenings on the couch with my favourite Christmas movies.
Christmas Eve in our little household consists of 4 adults and one dog. The peace and quiet is nice on one hand, however I do miss the large family gatherings that used to occur when my grandparents were still alive. Now the family has scattered and each household celebrates on their own. I better get hop to it and have some kids of my own so it's not so quiet and empty on Christmas. I can't imagine any better way to spend Christmas than to make it magical for my children.

Anyway, that's beside the point. The topic today is whether or not any men out there like Christmas. So far, I can't recall ever hearing one single man say:
"I'm so excited about Christmas almost being here!"

The reason for that is probably that most men don't gush like that. However I haven't so much as a:
"I like Christmas"

Is it that men don't care whether it's Christmas or not or is it that they simply don't express it?

I don't know if any men read my blog or if any of them will read this post but if you do, can you tell me if you like Christmas?
