If you want to celebrate the Birth of Christ or whatever it is you believe...go for it. Just don't rain on my parade, or the Jews, Muslims, Druids, etc

Happy Holidays

To reiterate what others have said, I celebrate Christmas as a time for family, love and brotherhood...it corresponds with our celebration of Yule (Winter Solstice)....one of eight sabbats which equally divide the "Wheel of the Year". History tells us that early Christians set the birth of Christ close to the Winter Solstice to avoid persecution, from our point of view, any celebration of peace, love, brotherhood and belief in the Almighty is worthwhile.

If you think about it...we can spend time with our families any weekend. It seems weird to me that a certain time period is designated for people to go to their families, and everyone just follows it.

I know..I'm the Grinch who stole Christmas it sounds like lol. I'm thinking way too hard about this.

It just seems like if society can tell us what to do during a specific time period, then what can't society tell us?

It's like we don't have a mind of our own. It seems that if 90% of the world wanted to jump off a cliff, most of us here would agree to it.

I would jump off that cliff if I had to spend every weekend with my family.
