who put the christ in christmas
You'd all have known the normal and regular complaints from militant christians about the overcomercialisation of the celebration of Jesus Christ's birth. I'm even sure that you all know that there is no way that Jesus was born in december, and that the day was chosen by the Emperor Constantine because it fell on the same day as a pagan holy day. Even if you don't I'm sure you all have at leat once thought that Santa Claus and Saint Nicholoas are not the same person. They aren't. Saint Nick is real and did exist way long ago (google Saint Nicholas if you want to), Santa Claus was made up by Coca-Cola to sell more Coke during the winter low period (i think?). So know you know all the fake stuff about X-mas.
What I do around this time of year is watch all of you jokers running around trying not to buy underwear for uncle Bob again. I DON'T DO X-MAS ANY MORE. Of course you'll say that when and if I have kids then I'll start again. Well thats for then and not now, but right now I don't. And its is so easy this time of year. You buy the cheap stuff around that you need cause its all so cheap. Your not "running around like a choock with its head cut off" theres no pressure at all.
I advise all of you who are against the comercial hype and the selfishness that has been brought into the celebration of Christ's birth (even if you don't beleive, but especially if you do) please stop buying presents. Don't buy lights and special stuff for your house. If you must put something outside your house make it a cross (non-burnt) or the nativity. Spend you x-mas money on the poor, the needy, the homeless, the orphans and those who you think need something. Sing carrols, play Mel Gibsons gift to the world The Passion. Cause thats what He was born to do. He died so we might live, so we should die to our greed and selfichness of this period.
Celebrate THE CHRIST of CHIRSTmas. Not just now but everyday.
Corbiscide out.
