Anyone Else Getting Ready for Secular, Non-Denominational Holiday Day?

Cleveland, is that Immortal?

I think you missed my point. Christmas, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, winter solstice, etc. Holidays, dig I reiterate, who gives a shit if people say "holiday" instead of "Christmas". I say bitching about PC bullshit makes you no better than those who speak the PC bullshit.

BTW What the fuck is sparkle season?

Edit: and let me be the first to say: Bah! Humbug!

I agree with Ben it's nice to hear christmas ,channukah or kwanza or whatever .Ben sparkle season ? wtf? ,people (pc folks ) have homogenized this time of year into what will probalbly soon become known as; winter shopping stimulus season.


Plus it's nice to hear people say CHRIST(mas) with a smile on thier faces and not sandwiched between curses !!!

So happy thanksgiving and merry Christmas all !!!

Here in Calif., ONE mom complained about the kids dressing up as Pilgrims & Indians (you remember, the construction paper costumes?) at her kids school. So of course, the school & district gave in to this ONE mom. The other parents fought back this nonsense and helped their kids at home with their costumes.

Yes, that is Immortal.

Being a Satanist, I celebrate Christmas as I always have...the traditional way. Tree, decorations, yada, yada and yes I wish people "Merry Christmas" and never got any grief over it, and I never will. It's a family tradition and I'll keep it that way. My kid goes to a catholic school, as I did. I stopped going to church and changed my belief system when I reached the age of reason. Ironically, it was Christmas that planted the seed in asking questions about my faith in 4th grade. At that time there was a Christian chronilogical calendar of important biblical events. So I went right to my favorite date December 25th, Jesus' birthday..it wasn't there. I asked why it wasn't there and got some lame answer I can't recall. Much later I learned that Jesus was born March 7th, 4 ad. Christians started celebrating Christmas in December to recruite Pagans who celebrate the Winter Solstice on December 20th..well, that worked. Therefore Jesus is born on December 25th ...

BTW he's not the only "son of god" born that day..there's more born on that same day thousands of years before him, and to a virgin. This is fact, but I won't elaborate...look it up if you want.

Ironically, we heavily indulge at Christmas, because Jesus likes indulgence. So we have a fat man in a red suite that has magical powers named "Santa" that steals some glory from Jesus on his birthday ...hmmmmm..seems like a typo to me!:ROTF:

I don't have any stupid hang ups about petty shit, and I'm secure in my personal beliefs which allows me to say Merry Christmas..Merry Christmas..Merry Fuggin' Christmas.

Actually Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus christ. So yeah it has very religous meanings. Even tho according to the original Hebrew calander. Christs birth was actually in more like what we call July. Go figure. The time of year we celebrate christmas got squed some where in history. Long before the U.S. exsisted. Could be due to translation errors in the original texts of the Bible. None the less. Christmas is and was always intended to be the celebration of Jesus' birth. Buiness has taken over the true meaning of Christmas and screwed it all up. Making it what it is today. A money hungry retail establishment that just can't seem to get enough and try to drive us even further into debt by giving us these sales this time of year. And make us over spend our lmits because the deals are just so good. Sending us in debt. I'm gettin off track here but you get my point. Christmas has Christ in it for a reason. It's not a Hallmark holiday like sweetest day.

aren't the Japanese the only ones who are celebrating it the right way... a holiday to celebrate Jesus' birthday... no santa, christmas tree etc. but birthday hats, birthday cake and the stuff?

Gil ,

I agree with you in theory , Christs birthday was not in december.What I meant by it not being very religous is that 98% of people I know , do not got to church ,do not say a blessing before dinner ,do not teach thier children about christ.They do however teach thier children to believe in commercialism and spending(very far removed from any religous meaning).

Before I get jumped on ,yes my children also believe in santa claus ,and I do give them presents.However we also attend church and discuss the meaning of christmas.But this year especially we're going to be putting much more emphasis on family and friends ,and the true meaning of christmas.

Now I'm done with my christmas rant - I hope each and everyone of you has an opportunity to be with your family and loved ones this year !!!

They put a "Holiday Tree" up at my school today. Since I go to public school there is not supposed to be any religious stuff so we asked if a Christmas tree was allowed. The people putting it up said it wasn't a Christmas tree. It apparently was a "Holiday Tree"...

I really think they are killing the Christmas spirit. To me, Christmas is about family, not presents. I mean, presents are great and all but I always like to see family I haven't seen in a while. I'm still waiting for someone to complain about the fact that our band puts a Christmas concert on and we actually call it that and not "Holiday".
