Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays 3394It never HAD any religious significance. Just about everything to do with the way Christmas is celebrated got its start going back CENTURIES before "Christ" is alleged to have been born...
Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays 3395Well, I suspect that somewhere in that timeline, the Christians accepted the new version of the holiday *as* a religious holiday before it eventually became secularized and they accepted...
Personally speaking we don't give a poo. While we DO put up lights on the house and front yard folage (it looks nice) we don't have any kids and our dogs couldn't care less either.We DO wish our friends-neighbors-business buttociates a "Happy Holidays", Its the right thing to do. We ABSOLUTELY refuse to have some fat bastard in a red and white suit dictate that we buy gifts that are not wanted, nor needed in honor of Jesus's stupid birthday. We don't wait for "Christmas" to get something. The idea here is simple....you want it...we can afford it...BUY IT ! We do take advantage of the holiday pricing and "deals" for things WE want. We don't put anyone down for this crap, if they want to do this fine! We just dont want any poo from anyone because we refuse to "Follow the lead" (like sheep).We don't have time for Church-Temple either but thats another story hahaha. We do honor and celibrate (with gifts) birthdays and other "personal" moments."Christmas" is WAY too hyped and commercialized these days. It's rammed down your throats. Max out those credit cards or god won't forgive you. Buy everything they want or they will never forgive you.Spend to excess, it's only once a year right! Of course you have MONTHS to pay this off, your credit card company forgave your minimum payment on your account for the month of December remember?
Happy Holidays and a better New Year.
