it's christian tradition, and, since I'm not a christian,
why would I celebrate it?

that's not really the reason I hate it, but it's one of the
reasons why I don't feel like celebrating it.. the hate part
goes a bit deeper.

I like it. Im not a religious person by any means, but I
like spending time with my friends from back home and seeing
my folks.

I have a pub-crawl with my friends on Xmas Eve every year
which is great fun. Then we go out somewhere cool on New
Years too. I like this time of year.

"it's christian tradition, and, since I'm not a
christian, why would I celebrate it?"


> makes sense, but.... who cares? ^^;

anyway nowadays it's more about commercial, gifts, christmas
trees, star-shaped lights in the streets etc. than the birth
of jesus (even though it's that in the beginning... and even
so... it's an arbitrary date, chosen because it was also a
pagan day for celebrating the sun or something...)!

I'm looking forward to it :)

I'm going down the pub with my Mum and Dad. We'll have some
food there, get drunk then wander back to the house and just
sit around drinking some more. Then my Sister is coming
round Boxing Day and we'll have a nice meal and that's about
it.
Probably go out on the piss with my mates at some points
too. Nice.

well, I obviously care!

do you celebrate ramadan for instance? I bet you don't,
because it's an islamic tradition, so why the hell would
you?

why celebrate something you don't believe in?

my typical xmas day

Get up early, down the pub with family at about 11am, back
to my mum's to open loads of prezzies, have dinner bout
2ish, eat till I can't move and all my new clothes don't fit
anymore, drink more, eat sweets, go over to yavo's mum's,
open more prezzies, eat more, drink more, play games with
his sisters, go over my dad's house, eat more, drink more,
go home with 3 trays worth of leftovers, drink more, eat
more, sleep for a week

be honest....who actually remembers the Biblical background
of xmas?

I am not Christian either (I'm an atheist), still I
celebrate X-mas....but that has more to do with the overall
atmosphere, food, being together with people you care about
(and presents as well...)

So, do you really think you have to be Christian or at least
believe and remember the story behind xmas to enjoy it?

do I?

or do I because it is part of my growing up and my childhood
and I actually like thinking back about those times round
christmas?

I don't have to have any reason to celebrate it - it's
personal.

I'm saying that being against christmas because it came
forth from christianity and you can't believe people have
their own reasons for celebrating, is just as much a
doctrine.

xmas seems more and more of a pain in the arse these years,
once all the magic and fun has been taken out, along with
your childhood, then all you are left with is a cold empty
shell of lost hopes and forgotten dreams...

Merry XMAS y'all

it's about making a personal choice, and I respect the fact
that people want to celebrate christmas. But do you believe
in what you are celebrating, or do you do it just because
you've been taught to do so?

Just a quick question...

How many of you that celebrate christmas goto church on or
around xmas?

Most people i know never enter a church but still celebrate
this christian tradition.

Christmas is about the only time i go to church, this is to
keep my grandparents happy while they are alive.

Christmas used to be a joyful time. Now it's nothing but
awkward moments with family members, cold weather,
loneliness, and despair.
