I hate Christmas.

[Cenright]

I'm not telling you to convert, just why I am not doing Christmas. Look it up yourself if you want the truth, this isn't critical thinking.

But Jewpin knows some of it, so I am obviously not making things up. Go ahead. Google "Saturnalia".

I'm guessing a bunch of people in this topic want razor blades for Christmas.

Who needs razor blades when I can slit my wrist with my broken heart?

Born August 15th or something. That's what I heard.

Catholics are strange. Jesus being a native American makes more sense. Psshhh I give up on religion, right now....

I don't think anyone's actually suggesting that Christ was actually born on December twenty-fifth of the first year... The fact that the Church adopted the day of lo Saturnalia as Christmas isn't the best kept secret or anything.

There are many things from which I might have derived good by which I have not profited, Christmas among the rest. But I am sure I have always thought of Christmas-time, when it has come round-apart from the veneration due to its sacred name and origin, if anything belonging to it can be apart from that-as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time;the only time I know of,in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. And therefore, uncle, though it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket, I believe that it has done me good, and will do me good; and I say God bless it!

I love Christmas time.. you all are a bunch of Scrooges.

[DancinDemonNeko]

I must agree there are things about chirstmas I hate myself...like the music and all...but I do like the fact that we get school off and I spend time with my family...and my grandma making turkey *drools* mmm...Turkey I really could care less about presents
I hate christmas music because I have to play it every year on my violin

For rude customers.

Yes, sir, it IS indeed true that we no longer carry the item you wanted. No, we do not have more. If we had more, would I hold it from you and drain from company profits?

Why do people get so bitter over the most trivial things around this time?

I hate that kind of crap.

And it's even worse where I work (Toys'R'Us is an absolute nightmare during season).

However, I've always kind of liked Christmas. When I was younger it was for the presents, but now it's a nice chance to see some of my older siblings who I almost never get to see anymore.

Aside from presents, Christmas has never been a big deal at my house anyway. Yeah, we get the family together and have a nice meal, but thats about it. We don't play Christmas music, we don't have Christmas lights or decorations anywhere besides the tree, and religion has never been a part of it at all (practically everyone in the house has different beliefs anyway, since my parents never pushed any upon us). And since my mom drastically cut back on the amount of gift giving that goes on, there has been very little stress for anyone.

The only bad part about Christmas is that once dinner is done and everyone leaves, it is the most boring night of the year.

[suicidalmuskrat]

there's nothing holy about christmas? the church is made up of individuals who believe in the same thing, and i believe that most people would regard the church as holy. My family gets together, we talk, share stories, make fun of one another, eat, have fun, open presents (one of MANY other things we do on the holiday, people put too much emphasis on it, when it only takes up an hour of the holiday...for my family at least), we go to church on sunday and on christmas day, sometimes twice on christmas day, and we remember why we're celebrating...if there's no holiness in that, then....well...i dont know. but there's holiness in that.

EDIT: and if jesus was actually born in december in the middle east, wouldn't it be summer?

[ddrking133]

wow...........
nice speech moogy.

christmas is all about presents!
I hate how everyone always talks about the true meaning of christmas and all that hublah. WHO CARES! ITS ABOUT GETTING THAT VIDOEGAME YOU WANT! ITS ABOUT MONEY! ITS ABOUT MEDIA!MATERIAL NEEDS!!!!! but the music does sucks

[Afrobean]

I can vouch for the fact that Christmas is 100% secular. Myself, as well as my family, are atheist, and we celebrate Christmas. It isn't really a day to celebrate the birth of Christ, it's a day to be nice to each other and give people presents.

On a side note, I love Christmas. My mother is pretty cheap, so this is the only time I get things from her. I will admit, though that I hate the music and all the media related to it though. I'm glad that I've stopped watching TV almost entirely since I've become so regularly on FFR.

[emccky]

christmas owns you all.

[Anticrombie0909]

Your radical, resentment-filled arguments would have more strength if they were presented with a) evidence and b) less righteous vigor.

Because the church itself, and Christianity in general, has given us SO MUCH SOLID PROOF that I can't see how anybody doesn't believe.
