Bah Humbus, I think christmas has become to commercial and people expect to
much. I think all the gift giving ought to be abolished and the true meaning of
christmas brought back. just my opinion (plus, i'm cheap)

Christmas is an invention of the Catholic Church
in an attempt to stop the heathen practices of the Europeans which included
a great deal of debauchery. The earliest colonists to come to America were
radical religious zealous trying to escape the persecution of the Catholic
Church and refused to celebrate Christmas. As a child I was brought up going
to a church that emphasized Easter as the ultimate Christian holiday;
fortunately they didn't persecute it's members for celebrating Christmas. I
have always put up Christmas lights, had a Christmas tree, gave Christmas
presents, while my kids were little convinced them there was a Santa Claus,
watched "It's a Wonderful Life" "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" Dickens "A
Christmas Carol" "Merry Christmas Charlie Brown". Where the hell am I going
with this? I have no idea! Oh Yea, Merry Fn Christmas!
