why do you celebrate christmas? (assuming you do) does anyone still do it for the old jesus stuff? apparently some guy from the clouds was born who ended up teaching some guys some stuff and then got nailed to some wood on a hill. or is it just for the whole being nice to people you know and buying them presents to show you care about them? or just an excuse to get pissed? |

All that Jesus shit has nothin' to do with Christmas. Christmas was adopted with that Romanised policy of integrating pagan traditions and customs to make their dominance easier to be thrust upon their conquered. For example, Christian Christmas: Celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ; Pagan Christmas: Celebrating the birth of Mithras. Christmas trees themselves are adopted from an old pagan German tradition. ...Anyway, to answer your question. Christmas to me is the sweet smell of a REAL Christmas tree, the tinsel and the fairy lights, the wrapped gifts under the tree, children opening presents, old-fashioned festive songs and the atmosphere and images which they conjure - simplicity and innocence. |

none of that religious stuff for me. i want to spend time with friends and family, buy presents for people i know and love, enjoy the whole christmas atmosphere of lights and trees and candles and mulled wine and cheesy 70s and 80s christmas music. and get pissed. a lot of people say you grow out of christmas when you grow up, but that hasnt happened to me. i still enjoy it. |

So what about other people? He asked what it meant for you. If that's what Christmas means to you, then you really are In The Bleak Midwinter. |

A time for giving, a time for getting, A time for forgiving and for forgetting. Christmas is love, christmas is peace, A time for hating and fighting to cease. Christmas time, mistletoe and wine Children singing christian rhyme With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree A time for rejoicing in all that we see |
