Subject: Who here is not celebrating christmas and why?

Watch out. If I post in your thread, chances are it'll die. I've been cursed, and if I kill your thread, I'm sorry.

I celebrate it, I just won't be celebrating this year with actual people. I have to work Christmas, and I am going to miss my family's christmas because I have work :(

Atheists came to my house and said my christmas decorations was some how offensive to them...

I'm celebrating it and I ain't even Christian OOOHHHH YEAHHH.

Sike idk. I've been hanging around many Christians lately since I started dating my girlfriend and understanding them and being around them is making me start to believe the religion. Even if I don't become a Christian I still believe in their values and such.

well i meant on offense, I know people who are athiest and are very tolerant to other religions and beliefs but it's the ones who keep saying "you can't do that because its offensive" are the ones who get to me. and that goes to anyone who tries to make a big deal out of someone's beliefs

err...what?

Maybe they aren't Christian? Big shocker, but the majority of the world does not celebrate the birth of your lord and savior. Big shocker I know.

As for what you said it sounds like something a child that only wants presents would say.


Erm, I do want presents. But I also want to give presents. And I want to enjoy a massive christmas feast on christmas eve.

So in other words you are celebrating Christmas for selfish reasons.

Most non-Christians celebrate Christmas. It's not just a Christian holiday.

What??

Are you serious?

I'm not talking about a holiday centered around the winter solstice. I mean Christmas. You know, the one with "Christ" in the name...

My selfish reasons for celebrating christmas are balanced by my generosity during christmas.

And hell, who cares? everyone is selfish deep down. We are only human! Accept your human desire for stuff and celebrate christmas!

I just wanna say, this is not what Christmas is based on.

And yes I'm celebrating it. I'm also planning to go to church twice on the 24th, and once on the 25th.

Anyone who does any shred of research into the origins of christmas knows it was originally a pagan celebration. I mean, "saturday" was originally a day dedicated to the god saturn, but no one recognises that at all. Same with christmas.

Unto the Fray we go

I celebrate it but I disregard the "traditional" meaning entirely.

To me it's a time to feel good, a time to spend with friends and family, a time to kick back and relax at the end of the year, enjoying all the new stuff and stuffing yourself with food.

In this present day and age in 1st world countries, yes it is. It's about having a good time, decorating your home with extravagant stuff, stuffing your face with meat and taking/giving presents.

Please do not send me group invites.

Because Hanukkah.

Not really gift giving is essentially benefiting the person giving the gift. It is more or less a form of denial. As for my desire of stuff I can do that at another time. Sure Christmas use to be more about presents when I was younger, but now that really isn't what it is about and it hasn't been about presents for at least 5+ years if not more. This year I really don't plan on getting anything like I did last year. Since if I need to get something I don't use a holiday as justification for that.

Alright then. Suit yourself. Hopefully you will understand someday what Christmas truly is.

Well, religious reasons.

I'm not discussing religion. Don't bring that up.
