Christmas to me = *Pretend to be a christian*
I'm celebrating the winter time, and then waiting a new year to begin.
That's when I'm going to party until I pass out.
It's nice I get vacation during this "christmas", but it doesn't mean much to me. Sometimes it's rather annoying.

i think everyone has gotten the wrong idea about christmas....its supposed to be about chirsts birth not presents its a great time for family but i want people to remember the real reason we celebrate...now hehe ive given my shpeal what do you think???????

Considering that Christ's Birth actually happened sometime around August, and that Christmas as we celebrate it was originally the Winter Solstice, I think it's fine the way it is now.

A lot of pagan beliefs were absorbed into the Christmas holiday in an attempt to gain more followers.

I think it's all commercial/capitalist. At least thats how it feels here in the U.S.

christ mass.

savior + dinner

salvation + feast

= celebration + food

Celebrations often have gifts and offerings.

That and the Three Wise Men, whom gavve Christ gifts, began that tradition as well.

They correlate quite well really.

Really? I heard it was a pagan holiday celebrating the winter solstice.

For me, however, it means its time to drink, eat and be ******** merry.

That's what I said, that Christmas, the way we celebrate it, with gift giving, comes from the winter solstice celebrations, which is a pagan holiday.

Capitalism? Well, that's america for you.

Christmas, sadly, does have a new meaning to me. Free flight home to spend 3 carefree weeks in a city, with friends and family, that I haven't seen since June 30. Can't wait...

What branch o' service?
