I HATE Christmas

[Brewtus]

There is only "One reason for the Season". God loves you even if you choose not to accept it. With that said, His forgiveness is great, but so is His wrath.

Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and the majority of the world's population don't believe there's only "One reason for the Season". But we're all free (at least in this country) to believe what we want, I just choose to not believe in a celestial dictator who bullies humans through fear of "His wrath".

Why are there 12 days of Christmas? Was this of Mayan doing?

Snopes says it's the 12 days from the birth of Christ to the coming of the magi, and the song probably comes from the French.

Yeah, I'm with you, and I'm a born-again Christian.

Just a heads up, we have moved to the Philo forum, so now your dangerously off-topic shenanigans are dangerously on topic :p

Scandinavia celebrated Yule, symbolic of the pagan Sun God Mithras, mistletoe was seen as a sign of fertility, and evergreen trees were brought in doors as a reminder that crops would grow again after the harsh winters....

Mitra/Mithra was a Persian diety, not Scandinavian.

I don't know what to buy others. And I don't know what to tell people to get me.

I do not like gift giving.

You are a saint, Kyle.

Gift cards are amazing. I know at least one beloved retailer for everyone on my list. I couldn't pick any single item from their favorite store if my life depended on it, but a gift card lets them choose.

Department stores needed a reason for the season. That's why Christmas came about. I seriously doubt Jesus Christ wanted people to spend money on others when it was unnecessary. And on a side note, shit on Hallmark. Where are the you're welcome cards for those fucks that don't send a thank you card from my girlfriend? Merry Christmas to all of you fucks. I hate finals week. Piss off assholes. Much love. See you soon Saw.

You don't think Jesus wanted people to give to each other? I'm no Christian, but I don't remember him being big on saving your money.

Jesus wanted me to give you a bacon wave. Just like he had back in the day. But now I am gonna get you a knock off. So suck it. Merry Christmas.
