Christmas was once the day when we celebrate the birth of Jesus. When I was younger there was not a doubt in my mind that Jesus was born on that day. In the Christmas period my family would sometimes attend carols by candlelight and attend Christmas mass. We would always gather, have a huge meal and the older relatives would give presents to the younger relatives.

These days I'm not religious. I'm still obliged to attend Christmas lunch with my family. If I lived away from my family I would not celebrate Christmas. Christmas is a public holiday in Australia so it would be a day to sit at home gaming like a lazy fuck, studying, doing housework or hanging out with friends. Those who are religious should celebrate Christmas according to their faith. For everyone else, it's a relic of the past that has become commercialised as fuck. If Christmas was not so commercialised would you even remember the 25th of December?

Evidently that Jesus wasn't born on December 25th.

There is no evidence for this date. So then, who decided that Jesus' birth would be celebrated on that date? The early Christian church did not celebrate Jesus' birth. It wasn't until A.D. 440 that the church officially proclaimed December 25 as the birth of Christ. This was not based on any religious evidence but on a pagan feast. Saturnalia was a tradition inherited by the Roman pagans from an earlier Babylonian priesthood. December 25 was used as a celebration of the birthday of the sun god. It was observed near the winter solstice

Anyway, I don't celebrate Xmas but I spend time with family and relative on 24th and 25th for meals and dance and have a good time. They believe and I don't but family are important and I like to spend time with them just for a good time and good memories, thats all. Xmas is false and a hypocrites. After that, dogs eat dogs world again. All the time. Yeah.

I celebrate gift giving and Pagan roots of Christmas, but I don't celebrate the Christain ideas behind Christmas.
Personally it's a valid reason to get drunk.

This is the saddest Christmas thread in history. To those who have not yet lost their souls, Merry Christmas! lol
Christ is king.
Assuming you're being serious, I'd say that this thread is not the problem but rather the importance of religion in contemporary culture.
