It IS "Christ Mass" after all. Presents and trees are fine to the extent they reflect that, but as an end in themselves, well, if it's just about more cheap gaudy crap I'm not interested.


That Christ bit is just part of the hijacking that went on of an existing holiday - I'm all about ditching the pious, self righteous preaching as it is just a pointless tacking on to the lifting of spirits and the joy of time with family that brighten the cold winter months.

That's a reason to reclaim Christmas, not disown it. Joel - 23/12/2010 08:31:07 PM 307 Views

What, you'd rather it remained a Bronze Age pagan fertility rite? Joel - 27/12/2010 11:17:09 PM 382 Views
That's kinda funny because Christ wasn't born in December. Good one! *NM* Dark Knight - 23/12/2010 01:53:37 AM 187 Views
Yeah, that's part of my problem with Christmas. *NM* Palatine - 23/12/2010 05:12:29 PM 134 Views
