Why post this crap? Don’t you have a dog to kick?

” showing friends and family how much you love them is not an appropriate way to celebrate his birth.”

So, you admit you know nothing of Jesus?

[Buddygirl]

I read the other day that they have determined that Jesus was born on June 17! Does it really matter? Jesus is the gift that God gave us to free us from sin. We should be giving Jesus to others so they might be free too!

And the reasons to hate Christmas are ...?

[pgkdan]

What a load of adolescent nonsense! Stop being such a sanctimonious prig.

[RichInOC]

It’s a pagan winter-solstice festival? Awesome. I can think of a Freeper I’d like to sacrifice right now. See if you can guess whom it might be.

I heard the the fact that the shepherds while tending their flocks and that their were new lambs being born that Christmas was in the spring.

Christs birthday, it has been told, was celebrated by early Christians in Rome at the same time as the solstice, pagan celebrations so as to not bring undo attention to Christians, so as to keep them from being lion fodder in the various arenas.

The commercialization of Christmas is something that I truly dislike....

[svcw]

There is so much to say here, what I really want to say is better left to a private conversation because I want to ....

Anyway, my experience with people who say what you have said are just to cheep to celebrate Christmas, so they use any excuse not to.

I give because Christ gave to me first. I celebrate His birth because without His birth there would not have been His death and resurrection.

I have pity on you this season, that there is so little joy in your heart.

Hope you get that spell-checker you’ve always wanted for Christmas this year.....

[mancini]

You know, it doesn’t matter when Christ was actually born. As Christians, we have the freedom to esteem one day above another, and if we want to recognize Christ’s birth on December the 25th, we have the freedom to do so.

[DakotaGator]

The accuracy of these arguments is meaningless.

Christmas is when Christians choose to celebrate the Birth of Christ.

Go to DU pal. You fit in better there.

[Sudetenland]

Whatsamatter? People not paying enough attention to you? You have to bring out this pile of pretentious, narcissistic crap to call attention to yourself.

Poor baby. Get a life!

[VeniVidiVici]

Dude, your burkha is wrapped too tight. You might want to loosen it some to get the air flowing again.

“Been there, done that.” The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come

“Many laughed to see this alteration in him, but he let them laugh and little heeded them. His own heart laughed and that was quite enough for him. And it was always said of him that he knew how to keep Christmas well if any man alive possessed the knowledge.”

Geez, who peed in your Wheaties?

Every Christian holiday, without fail, brings out the kooks.

[SFR]

Actually it was a Roman holiday to Saturn, gifts, big meals, dress upped costumes.

Merry Christmas!!!

As my daughter constantly reminds me: We shouldn’t “hate”.
