Im sick of Christmas...

well i for one think that jesus deserves to have his birthday celebrated worldwide.

we should crucify all church goers(sp?) in his honor.

haha thats funny.. but crucifixtion(sp?) shouldnt happen until easter.. which brings me to another point... WHAT THE HELL does an egg laying bunny that leaves candy everywhere have to do with the ressurection of Christ?

obviously the ressurection of christ wasn't exciting enough, so they had to come up with some ploy(when i say they, i mean the religous) to entice the non-believers(or even the believers but no practicing) to follow along in this celebratory(sp?) holiday

was i t the religious or was it just another market strategy to make ends meet by capitalistic know-it-alls?

I don't see what everyone is blaming capitalism for ruining christmas. I think you should chose a better word. Are you suggesting if we practiced socialism or communism, Christmas would be better? Because either we had no money to buy gifts or there are no gifts available for purchase. I guess that would be better. ...:scratches head:

I purchase what I purchase. I am not requried to give any gifts. I do not exchange gifts with my friends and me and my little brother wrap up a $20 bill in a box and exchange that.

So that narrows down to 3 gifts...my mom, dad, and gf. The GF is a choice...I knew when I asked her out I would be on the hook for birthday and christmas presents, so it's no big deal. Buy my mom a bluetooth headset and some BS for my dad and I am good. And will spend less than $300.

Gotta program the little kids into religon somehow.

I think im off the hook with the GF though, her job has been screw'n her around and she really doesnt have the money to buy me anything for xmas, so she cried last night and told me to take back all her gifts that are under the tree. I dunno what to do now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

if jesus died at birth we wouldn't have to deal with it at all.

But seriously what does a gift exchange have to do with the meaning of the holiday?

The thing that really made me mad this year was they had Christmas stuff before muthafukkin Haloween. I really hate Christmas just because of all the spending but it just irratated me because of my daughter. Wtf happened to thanks giving? I remember putting the turkey out front and the maze and shit like that but none of that is done anymore. I would rather have my daughter understand the meaning of Thanksgiving and Christmas, the realy meanin. Other than we just eat a meal and get presents at Christmas.

IMO, you're over-analyzing the point of Christmas.

It's the happiest time of the year.

Quit thinking for once & just be happy.

I like the disappointments...I forget what the actual term is. But is where you tell your loved ones how they disappointed you throughout the year.
