Those looking forward to this Christmas, I hope you enjoy the holidays whole heartedly. As for me, I think I'm just going to stay far away from all the dysfunctional family dinners and wasting money away on presents people could just buy for themselves. I'm done with it. Going full Grinch this year. Quoting: tray ding See ya here! |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 77224136 Kazakhstan 12/22/2018 12:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I know about Santa being an idol of the planet Saturn, and how the whole holiday came from the pagan festival of Saturnalia. How a 300 AD Pope decided that 25th of Dec was to be accepted as the birthday of Jesus, in order to Christianise the day that was otherwise known as "the birth of the unconquered sun". Because of the winter solstice and the sunlight returning. How every single custom is realated to pagan roots. |

An hour away from nearest store. It's awesome! We Do it every year. Quoting: Mkjeep Not gonna lie that sounds pretty great. But don't really have a family of my own. Mostly just different fractions of what used to be, with a couple of trouble makers thrown in the mix. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 77224136 Kazakhstan 12/22/2018 01:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Same here. I've come to hate Christmas since it's not really about Christ. Quoting: A Chosen I just spend time with my immediate family. I don't speak to my parents or siblings. In fact, I haven't spoke to some of them in over a decade. This is one of the things that is great about being an adult. You actually get to choose who you're dealing with or not. And some people family or not you're just better off not being around what so ever. |

Timur2020 User ID: 72782160 United States 12/22/2018 01:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Brussels grinch is just trolling christmas and human families. It will be back to celebrate rhamadan and shill globy society. Nice of you though. We really don't have much but we are enjoying the time and nearly continuous eating. Pity the rest, but I just never see "satan" or "misery" in those little birds faces when they are cracking open those Merry Christmas petit fors that look like decorations you eat. It is terrible how we have to be vigilant against GORGED dogs and cats tho - they will feast like romans and little kids sneak them expensive petit fors. We closed yesterday on solstice to put our feet up and close out the year.....whatever pagan deities or barbarous rituals neglected will have to look after thier selves. My family is a thousand years old that we wrote down. Probably pagan as patrick back then too, even tho traditionally been chivalry order. Certainly have hacked up a lot of satan bullsh*t with gusto and sure we will again, but anybody would? I guess we could join the "Great, lonely, modern, artificial ZERO" but that's only supposed to be for improved types of cart and drinking mug, not for humans, tradition or religion. Happy Holidays. Hopefully soon we will finally be adding "killed the commise-slams" festival, crusade feast to the rest of the merriment of the year. "Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind" Covid, fake riots, communist organizers - keep your powder dry America. This was not the disease or the riots, those both are still on down the line. Garden garden grow spices and medical plants too.
