christmas 

A bad excuse for your family to get together, get drunk and fight. Also a time of year when people spend horrible sums of money on useless crap that will be thrown into the corner until next christmas when it is given to someone else and the cycle begins again!

I'm really looking forward to christmas!

christmas 

The severly and sadly skewed celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Over the past century, western society has gradually warped this very important holiday into a disgusting commercial event. The once potent and religious importance of this time has been eaten away by the heart of Corporate America. Capitalism has twisted Christmas into means to make as much money as possible.

I hope that I get everything I want this year, like that Old Navy hoodie, after I spent so much money on buying expensive gifts for my family last year.

Christmas 

Christmas is a Pagan holiday. In ancient Babylon, the feast of the Son of Isis (Goddess of Nature) was celebrated on December 25. Raucous partying, gluttonous eating and drinking, and gift-giving were traditions of this feast.

In Rome, the Winter Solstice was celebrated many years before the birth of Christ. The Romans called their winter holiday Saturnalia, honoring Saturn, the God of Agriculture. In January, they observed the Kalends of January, which represented the triumph of life over death. This whole season was called Dies Natalis Invicti Solis, the Birthday of the Unconquered Sun. The festival season was marked by much merrymaking.

In 313 AD Emperor Constantine converted the Roman Empire to Christianity so stop it from engulfing itself in civil war. December 25th, a highly spiritual day already, became a prime day for Christianity's savior to be born.

Christmas 

the only time of the year where it is socially acceptable to sit in front of a dead tree and eat candy out of socks.

It's Christmas yay!

Christmas 

The best of times, the worst of times. Taking the dark view (plenty of folk to take the bright view), a day of conventional culture-imposed mass hysteria. Families crowd together in small spaces making a specially concentrated stink not to mention fraught atmosphere.

In fact just one day out of 365. Also the reason for millions of birds being kept in very crowded conditions, possibly denied fresh air and daylight. This brought to an abrupt end as abattoirs run red with blood so the Chief Ape can gorge himself silly at annual meatfest. (To be followed by belligerent sounding boxing day and many a boxing day hunt.)

Bloody Christmas again. It's bloody, all right. Never mind, can't be helped. It will pass
