What's so fucking merry about Christmas?

[james1200]

I'm not getting a bonus this year, I've maxed out my credit cards buying shit for people and probably won't be able to afford buying the Wii my roomie and I want cause we're both so broke (unless our families pony up money as gifts), and neither I, my friends or most of my family even bother attending church on X-mas eve anymore so what is the point of this fucking holiday aside from spending money you don't have...I swear it's the stupidest of all holidays. I'm beginning to understand why a lotta people just ignore it now.

Oh...i guess since I'm working half days all week maybe that's the point...time off. Pfffffft!!!

I don't buy gifts because I'm not Christian... and I always tell people not to buy me anything. Just a time for me to remember past Christmas dinners before all of my loved ones died.

BAH HUMBUG! let's eat already

That´s not a very Catholic spirit

Well, I guess being a lonely piece of scum like me has its advantages:all the money I save by not taking part in the "Spirit" that I can spend on ho´s ...

It´s only by accident that I am a Roman Catholic Apostolic Christian: at ten months of age you are not given much choice, and if you believe it is that easy to officially apostatize from The Church as an adult you don´t know what you are talking about... so I would simply consider myself as Augustinian as I can be Taoist or Peircean: I am just a guy who thinks... or tries to.
Of course, that doesn´t mean that I´m not a despicable devil who should drop dead according to Jasunites or Islamic fundamentalists

If we attach more importance to buying things than to enjoying the fellowship of our friends and loved ones, of course the Christmas holiday does not mean anything at all. I refuse to make a fuss about buying gifts--although I can well afford to do so. I make personal gifts for my friends. That is my way of saying that I care for and about them. I also try to do something nice for each of them throughout the year. This is because my friendship last all year long. I don't need a single arbitrarily chosen day to show my friends and family that I love them. We often get together to enjoy one another's company but we make a point of not exchanging gifts. We have re-written the "rules" of Christmas and the magic of the holiday shines mightily.

Now THAT is what I call the spirit of the Holidays!!!!

To help break you out of that mood, I've arranged for 3 ghosts to haunt you on Christmas Eve. Say hi to Tiny Tim for me.

*cough* well I dun mean to burst ur bubble.. but your complaining that you spent too much money buying gifts fro everyone and your now broke...

WHY?

just because its christmas doesn't mean u have to actually buy everyone presents if you can't afford it...

and you can't use the excuse that everyone is getting you something so you have to return the favour.. cus thats bullshit.. christmas is about giving what you can to the ones you love... so they can't expect presents in return...

now.. for the actual christmas part... just because u don't go to church doesn't give the holiday any less meaning.... even though its is ridiculously commercialized and shoved down everybodies throats its still a day that represents the birth of a great man who tried to guide people onto a better happier path away from sin thus saving our souls

now i'm not religious at all but i think the holiday is still a good idea to celebrate... though most people forget its about loving eachother rather than geting/giving presents

 

[ludolfo]

yeah. you have a choice. you dont HAVE to buy expensive presents...., thats ONE

chrstmat has been ripped off from the more earthy fun orgiastic pagan celebrations

the TREE. the evergreen tree. shit boy you should read up all this its great. the shiny things we put ON the tree. its all about really having an ecstatic time. in full meaning of the term...when we'd have the shaman come down the hole in the tepee and pass round magic mushrooms and then we'd orgy/ orgy dont HAVE to mean sex but it can...hehe

but despite all the fukin AWFUl commercialism, i SDTILl find christmas magical. you know a tree with those lights on it/ isn't it all faery-like. you see those haloes of sparkling colour round the lights----and the quiet on christmas night. tho maybe not in NYC. all them lick kids expecting santa bringing them pressys in the morning. and then you have the food and wine and ===chestnuts roasting byyy an oPEn fiiiire===sing with me now

Christmas should not be based on how much one can spend but should reflect the true meaning from which it came. CHRISTMAS is a joining of CHRIST + MASS as in a celebration about the birth of a Savior, if you should believe in that. I stopped spending years ago and have told people I know to not do it. The commercialism has gotten too much.

 

[JakeBequette]

I really don't care for Christmas other than the food and the presents (recieving only lol)​

I got away from the Catholics by joining the Masons, asulting a religious, and divining with a pendalum.
