I do not celebrate Christmas
I'm either an agnostic or an atheist; haven't decided which yet. But that has nothing to do with my refusal to celebrate Christmas.
I think it's a waste of money, and a waste of time. I spend my money, all year long, taking care of NEEDS that people around me have. There is too much NEED to waste money on frivolous crap. People are going hungry, without lights, or gas, or a roof over their heads, or transportation. I take care of my family, first, and then spread the rest around me; to whomever crosses my path.
Christmas is just another day, as far as I'm concerned.
And she can never forget the death row inmates either. :LMAO: No time to scrounge though, read through the link.

If you don't know if you're atheist or agnostic then you are agnostic.

That reminds me what happened to Stewie and his fundraising to keep his car payments up?

How is it possible that people are going hungry in this bestest economy ever? We have a man as president who has the highest IQ of any man in these 57 states. His brilliant policies have saved us all from the Bush depression and yet people are still going hungry?

If she does not want to celebrate Christmas, fine with me, but don't go around saying other people should not. :mental:

4. As a Pagan Holiday, Christmas has lost its meaning.
As a Christian Holiday, it is a good example of greed run rampant by the Christians that profess to believe in Love, brotherhood and charity.

Anything that causes DUmmies to bunch up their panties and whine incessantly is a very good thing.
President's Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, but the double-wammy, the 1-2 punch of Thanksgiving and Christmas at year's end is wonderful!
I LOVE this time of year! :-)

My question too.
I thought the guy in the White House took care of all that a long time ago, and just assumed all was well with the world.

With 2 left to go. He never did say if he ever got to those last 2. I wonder if he ever did (in his own mind).

Yes, so how to salvage the thread?
I don't mean to be mean but the answer comes to those who are willing to wade through the tall grass...

"....I am deeply moved by the idea that people deliberately reach out to one another, that families and friends go to great lengths to be together and acknowledge their bonds and the spirit of generosity and caring. It gets perverted sometimes but that's not Christmas, it's a symptom of the world's distance from its spirit, I think. We get competitive and anxious, and think we have to prove something. And Lord knows, corporate interests push that like mad. But again, that's not Christmas and I ignore that part as much as I can."
I WISH Christmas could mean that to me. But it doesn't anymore, and quite honestly, since I lost my son, it never will again. I don't want to be around those "intact" families. I see all of those Christmases past, when we were lucky to have a chicken on the table, much less a turkey, and I think about all of those food stamp mothers who will be working on Thanksgiving, and working on Christmas, just to keep a roof over their kids' heads, or gas in the car. I can't do anything about me, or those Christmases past, that were lost to poverty and illness, but I can do something about someone else's lives, maybe.
