A Chwistmas Widdle With a Twist
$begingroup$

And not mewely an empty hole,
Gweeted and weceived with dewision
What am I, what do I want to become, and why?

Answer 1 - CORRECT :) (Finally)
Are you
0 ?
Do you want to be
a small positive number >0
I wish to be wid of my condition,
Nothing?
I am named and famed with humiliation
You are something that means nothing
A small happy square wheel! That's my goal
a small happy square real? Coz no matter how you square 0, you end up with 0!
Or you want to look like this? "□" (Irrelevant)
according to OP: a small positive (happy) real number
And not mewely an empty hole,
? It's a hole (0)
and according to OP: Zero is the smallest non-negative Whole number (empty hole)
Gweeted and weceived with dewision
for being imaginary? (a dreamer?)
Zero is considered both real and imaginary, see this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imaginary_number
Hint 1:
W -> R and has implications of Whole Numbers -> Real Numbers (as suggested by OP in comment)
Partial Answer 2 - Rejected, but closer to answer than Ans 3
Are you
infinity?
Do you want to be
finite?
I wish to be wid of my condition,
Rish? Or Irish, referring to the Irish infinity knot?
I am named and famed with humiliation
Perhaps coz it’s endless?
A small happy square wheel! That's my goal
a small happy square real? So he wants to be on the coordinate plane?
And not mewely an empty hole,
? Two holes in its symbol
Gweeted and weceived with dewision
for being imaginary? (a dreamer?)
Partial Answer 3 - Rejected, but closer to answer than Ans 4
Are you
i?
Do you want to be
-1?
I wish to be wid of my condition,
Rish? Or Irish?
I am named and famed with humiliation
referring to the name i itself
A small happy square wheel! That's my goal
a small happy square real?
And not mewely an empty hole,
? Last bit...
Gweeted and weceived with dewision
for being imaginary? (a dreamer?)
Partial Answer 4 - Rejected, but closer to answer than Ans 5
omega (ω)
Fitting some lines:
I am named and famed with humiliation
omega - last alphabet in Greek
A small happy square wheel! That's my goal
Big letter Omega, (Ω) but is that square? Handwriiten, it looks like a wheel on ground, like this:
And not mewely an empty hole,
Perhaps the hole between the two curves, especially in handwriting?
Gweeted and weceived with dewision
The line beneath the capital Omega, as shown above?
Repetitive use of w:
omega symbol definitely looks like it
Partial Answer 5 - Rejected
surd
I am named and famed with humiliation
name: similar to "absurd"
A small happy square wheel! That's my goal
just square me,please!
And not mewely an empty hole,
there's nothing inside me...
Gweeted and weceived with dewision
dewision = division, but why?
Repetitive use of w:
surd symbol looks like it

I believe this relates to
Irish dances
You wish to be a
Reel, used in square dancing
Because you are a
Jig, which is the stereotypical Irish dance and and a tool used for holding other tools (which occupy the empty space or hole in the jig)
I'm unsure about the math tag, but I think the numbers
1, 49, or 100
Come into play since they are
the smallest square happy real numbers ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_number )

From HINT 1:
W -> R
Ch(r)istmas is the same (r)ith or (r)ithout me, though I do (r)ish you all Me(rr)y Ch(r)istmas...
I (r)ish to be (r)id of my condition
I am named and famed with humiliation
A small happy square (r)heel! That's my goal
And not me(r)ely an empty hole,
G(r)eeted and (r)eceived (r)ith de(r)ision
Resulting:
15 total w->(r)s converted: 7before spoiler, 8 w->(r)s in spoiler
Wordplay possible definition:
Irish: assumed to be Irish people, people of Irish ethnicity, people born in Ireland and people who hold Irish citizenship
rish: abbreviation for Irish and Celtic related peoples.
rid: make someone or something free of (an unwanted person or thing)
-(r)hell
rheel
merely: just; only
greeted: past simple and past participle of greet:to welcome someone with particular words or a particular action, ..
received: generally accepted as being right or correct because it is based on authority..
rith: is a relay race organised in support of the Irish language.
rith: From Middle English rīth (“a small stream”), from Old English rīþ (“a small stream”).
derision: contemptuous ridicule or mockery.
Repeated from spoiler and before spoiler:
rish: abbreviation for Irish and Celtic related peoples.
and
rith: is a relay race organised in support of the Irish language.

Additional note:
I wish to be wid of my condition
I am named and famed with humiliation
A small happy square wheel! That's my goal
And not mewely an empty hole,
Gweeted and weceived with dewision
Resulting:
3 on -ending
1 al -ending
1 le -ending
Which ended up with:
onalle an Indian song(?) :P
What am I, what do I want to become, and why?
My first guess is you're an Irish who would like to be the one giving Christmas wish. Because whether you gave a wish or not it's all the same :P
Second guess that you're Indian which don't want to continue being a dancer, named and famed with humiliation (with some praise). You would like to have a child (to play the wheel), don't want to be lonely and sad. Because you would be mocked if you dance until old :P

Partial Answer -
What am I?
An Irish beard
What is my goal
to become a squirrel
Why?
Because squirrels aren't empty? and they kind of look like beards?

for being imaginary? (a dreamer?)
Partial Answer 4 - Rejected, but closer to answer than Ans 5
omega (ω)
Fitting some lines:
I am named and famed with humiliation
omega - last alphabet in Greek
A small happy square wheel! That's my goal
Big letter Omega, (Ω) but is that square? Handwriiten, it looks like a wheel on ground, like this:
And not mewely an empty hole,
Perhaps the hole between the two curves, especially in handwriting?
Gweeted and weceived with dewision
The line beneath the capital Omega, as shown above?
Repetitive use of w:
omega symbol definitely looks like it
Partial Answer 5 - Rejected
surd
I am named and famed with humiliation
name: similar to "absurd"
A small happy square wheel! That's my goal
just square me,please!
And not mewely an empty hole,
there's nothing inside me...
Gweeted and weceived with dewision
dewision = division, but why?
Repetitive use of w:
surd symbol looks like it

I believe this relates to
Irish dances
You wish to be a
Reel, used in square dancing
Because you are a
Jig, which is the stereotypical Irish dance and and a tool used for holding other tools (which occupy the empty space or hole in the jig)
I'm unsure about the math tag, but I think the numbers
1, 49, or 100
Come into play since they are
the smallest square happy real numbers ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_number )

From HINT 1:

I (r)ish to be (r)id of my condition
I am named and famed with humiliation
A small happy square (r)heel! That's my goal
And not me(r)ely an empty hole,
G(r)eeted and (r)eceived (r)ith de(r)ision
Resulting:
15 total w->(r)s converted: 7before spoiler, 8 w->(r)s in spoiler
Wordplay possible definition:
Irish: assumed to be Irish people, people of Irish ethnicity, people born in Ireland and people who hold Irish citizenship
rish: abbreviation for Irish and Celtic related peoples.
rid: make someone or something free of (an unwanted person or thing)
-(r)hell
rheel
merely: just; only

Resulting:
3 on -ending
1 al -ending
1 le -ending
Which ended up with:

What am I, what do I want to become, and why?
My first guess is you're an Irish who would like to be the one giving Christmas wish. Because whether you gave a wish or not it's all the same :P
Second guess that you're Indian which don't want to continue being a dancer, named and famed with humiliation (with some praise). You would like to have a child (to play the wheel), don't want to be lonely and sad. Because you would be mocked if you dance until old :P
