I hate Christmas. - Page 3

suicidalmuskrat · 12-17-2004, 01:35 PM

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.

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.

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.

IAMTHEEVILBEAN · 12-17-2004, 04:05 PM

The thing I hate about Christmas is the company. PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS COMING OVER. GO AWAY. My parent are incredibly social people, so every free day we have they have like 9 people over with their kids who bother me. Then I have to come down and pretend I'm interested while my dad and his asshole friends talk about beer and football.

SuicidalMuskrat: Usually you go to church for god. But if you are following something that used to be a pegan ritual, how can god approve of it?

emccky · 12-17-2004, 04:10 PM

faith.

**Moogy** · 12-17-2004, 04:16 PM

Um. No?

**talisman** · 12-17-2004, 04:32 PM

um.... pagan, not pegan.

and... there's nothing wrong giving stuff and getting stuff: the time of year might be rooted in saturnalia, but who cares? It's basically just blind trade.

Catholics eat Jesus and drink his blood.

Christmas > All of you pessimists.

Go get no presents.

IAMTHEEVILBEAN · 12-17-2004, 06:24 PM

Go away Jursey.

JurseyRider734 · 12-17-2004, 06:30 PM

Hmm...let me think about that. No.

I admire Jursey's spirit. I love Christmas...except for the company thing. My mom has a fucked up family. She's like the only stable one of her five sisters. The rest are all messed up.

Then there are of course the people who take it upon themselves to act like fucking happy zombies, mindlessly smiling and performing acts of goodwill simply because "it's Christmas". If you're going to act like a moron, why don't you do it all year long, hypocrite?

Oh, and don't even get me started on the HORRIBLE music. All day long, that's all you hear on the radio. Christmas song after Christmas song, culminating in a horrible apocalypse of hideous noise that dares call itself music. Well, that's what I think will happen, anyway. Forget Exit Mundi's stuff - Christmas songs will destroy the earth.

Oh, and all of the asinine decorations. I don't want a goddamn tree in the living room, and I don't want stupid lights all over the house.

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

Who shares my sentiments?

DUDE- this %$&%# christmas music haunts me in my sleep... not to mention that jesus was born in the spring and that santa clause isa slave of the elves who wishes to die but he

Here's a good one.

There's this sign on a local crappy church that always has this caption that changes about once a month. Everytime I pass by it (which isn't all that often), I find ways to misintepret it.

"What does it take for God to get your attention?"

Both people in the car instantly said "Money."

Anyway, onto the Christmas quote.

"X-Mas is Christmas without Christ. Don't X him out."

Which is hilarious because obviously these people don't know their roots.

X is Greek for Christ. (Christos, really, but this was the proper way of saying it at the time.)
