Does it make you feel better about yourself to whine about something so trivial when there's so much other shit going on out in the world you could instead focus your anger and bitterness on? 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.

I will answer why I buy gifts, not why others do nor will I bother going into the history of the pagan celebration, none it has anything to do with why I do what I do. I buy gifts because I can. That's it. My kids need shit, I get it for them. Of course I could buy their clothes and books and what not any other day of the year and I do but I see no harm in buying stuff and wrapping it up and letting them have a bit of fun on Christmas day. Everything they get is useful and needed so I don't see it as a waste. I'm not religious.

| Blue Skies User ID: 19168576 United States12/03/2012 07:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I give gifts to family and friends. Because I love them and think that one day a year they should be given something. Just to show they are appreciated and loved......Its a family tradition. Others, I'm sure do not do this. For religious beliefs or some sort of family upbringing. That's okay. Its their choice. So.....I'm guessing you do not practice the gift giving in your family. Or you have chosen to not do it anymore? :kitten on fence: |

What's your issue with the 25th?? Why do you not approve of people celebrating and gifting on that particular day?
