I hate Christmas.

[Lupin_the_3rd]

The only good things about it are presents and vacation. Everything else about Christmas can go to hell

I like christmas, i get everything I've wanted but too cheap to buy.

The thing I hate most about Christmas is the stress. My dad soooooo stressed out and tries to make it all perfect and is annoying and makes us all want to stab him. Then he tries to make it better with friggin Amy Grant or whoever and her Christmas songs.

Seriously, if I was God, I would be sick and tired of all the praise the Christians give me. The music all sucks. Where's the Jesus tecno!?

And worse than the terrible music about God is the terrible music about stuff that there's no way existed. Why listen to a song about Santa?! HE'S NOT REAL!! At least Jesus was, so I can bear religious songs, but I mean, seriously, there aren't elves at the North Pole.

Speaking of which, does any country own the North Pole? If not, we should colonize up there and do something cool with the north pole. Just a thought...

I love everything about Christmas. Trans-Siberian Orchestra definatly included as a major plus.

Merry kilukaluka is a wise wayy to say merry christmas to youuu

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 have always had a love-hate relantionship with Christmas
I love the presents and the break and the family togetherness.
But, I hate how cheery everyone gets this time of year, it just
gets on my nerves.

I HATE christmas Carols but I went to a chatholic skool and
was forced to learn almost all of them for stupid pageants

and I think that the north pole is in international waters, and thus
cannot be colonized by any one country

Christmas sucks here because everyone goes psycho on christmas. Example from, 2 hours ago: My brother wanted a cold coke and asked my dad because my dad keeps cold cokes in a little fridge back in his room. But my dad only had 2 cokes left and my dad likes to drink them in the morning so my dad said no. My brother got pissed off and told my dad to "Fuck off you fucking piece of shit asshole." So now tomorrow after my dad has his 2 cokes in the morning (around 6AM and will most likely wake everyone up) he is going to kick my 27yr old brother and his disgusting 17yr old girlfriend out. (THANK GOD.) But this shit happens every time around christmas.

Re: RE: Re: RE: I hate Christmas.

Just to be contrary: I hate the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

Note: I really don't. I just had to break the bandwagon.

This really makes me think that your entire post was just to piss people off by being contrary.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: I hate Christmas.

I don't do Christmas, period.
Nor any of the other december holidays.

Catholicism wanted to christianize the pegans, and so adopted the Pegan drinking and fornicating around bonfires ritual called Saturnalia, altered the main subject to Christ, and just organized the festivities. The pegans get to keep their festival, and the Catholics get some converts.

I refuse to celebrate something that:
One, has such pegan roots.
and
Two, was re-created by the pegan entity that calls themself the Catholic church.

[GuidoHunter]

Ouch, Cen.

So something that may have had pagan roots can't be meaningful despite having cast off all original pagan association?

You can't polish a terd. Sure, put it in a nice paper box with decoration and perfume, but it is still a terd. Christmas is a lie that was started by the Catholic church. I don't need Christmas to get presents. Isn't it sad that people are compelled to give presents, just because "its christmas"? Besides, what do presents have to do with Christ's birth? Yes, the wise men gave gifts, but how does your Nintendo DS remind you of Christ? It doesn't. There is no religious basis behind this holiday (which came from holy day). There is nothing holy about pegans. There is nothing holy about the catholic church. Are church inquisitions holy?

It is just a pack of lies, polished with presents, so that you forget the true meaning. Some of you people (only some) would gut the bible, say that god is an atheist, and that jesus was a liberal. Yet you dont look into christmas? It was a religious blunder that turned secular for some pretty lights and a lot of capitolism.

Ouch, Cen.

And the bonfires. Catholicism changed the idea to candles, which in time were symbolized as lights. Where else do you think the christmas lights came from?

There is no religion in this somehow "holy day" and so as someone who looks towards the bible, I wont be part of it.

Dont forget the fact that there is no possible way Jesus Christ was born in a manger...in the middle east, at night during winter, tempuratures can reach below 0 degrees. Baby Jesus would have frozen to death if he were born on the 25th of December.

Though I do celebrate the Winter Solstice.

He was born some time in the fall. And winter starts the 21st.

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