I almost hate Christmas now...and today I refused to help put up the tree. | |

It didn't ruin the holidays for them or cause undo stress. My family took us to the Nursing Home to sing carols to the residents, and to visit shut-ins. We brought them cookies and fruit baskets. We made cards and ornaments and gave out them out to the elderly. My grandmother raised us to think of others at Christmas. Christmas is so commercial, but it doesn't have to be. You make the decision of how you will spend this month. Spend it wisely. |

I bet you half the people on here going all ape shit over Christmas do so just to come off as enlightened in front of the rest of the GLP'ers, while they sit in their living rooms with ginormous Christmas trees listening to the Rod Stewart holiday CD. And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it. I am an evil giraffe, and I shall eat more leaves from this tree than perhaps I should, so that other giraffes may die. |

If it's commercialized and materialistic to someone, it's because that's exactly how they've experienced it, and they have nobody to blame for that but themselves. In my opinion.

Family all dead. Watching 6 children burn to death on chritmas eve. Flat broke. And many other reasons maybe you can not imagine. Let them alone and be alone if that is what they want. Keeping your chirstmas cheer to yourself would be the kindest thing to do some times. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3064678 It's kinda like this for me anyways, knowing after years of rabbit holes and soul searching and coming to the gut feeling that we the general public (slaves) have been literally fed shit and kept in the dark as to be raised to be authority controlled mindless fools of a corrupt system and then realizing this has been done to you on purpose, ya it makes ya a little sour on stupid mass marketing holidays. Hmm, 9/11 and all the death that surrounds it, but I'm gonna pretend it doesn't exist and play satan claws and hand out china made crap we don't need. Or, I'm gonna go buy that china made crap we don't need with debt notes from the fed or bank of Canada that get printed at interest just so I can be enslaved to the criminal foreign banking cabal even further. All while singing we wish you a merry Christmas?? Sorry the secrets are out and the gig is up, I cannot pretend that everything is okay in the land of make believe and lies any longer. My eyes were once blind but now they see. Anyone who tells these lies to children only consent to slavery. If only we can hang on to the spirit of Christmas and do away with all the pagan rituals and commercial and materialism that surrounds it. You are my brother! |

Christmas is about giving gifts and spending time with family. If the rampant materialism bothers you, just keep the gifts small scale.

It felt really fucking great. I'm 41 and haven't celebrated or put up a tree for 5-6 years. It's really for children and women. I'd put one up if I fell in love again. It's nice. But I see your point, you've done it now for 4 decades yeah it gets old but no body is forcing you either. |

Someone who avoids Christmas gifting, drunken parties, light displays, and other commotion might choose to spend the day in prayer, reading of scriptures, meditation, contemplation of nature, or other quiet and edifying pursuit. None of the above activities benefit sales tax revenues, credit card companies, banks, payday loan companies, retailers, or other "economic engines"! This must be heartily discouraged, and those who "opt out" of Christmas targetted for humiliation. I Support Our First Responders |
