LOL. When I was a child, I loved the idea of St. Nick, but when I got older, I didn't like the idea of a focus on consumerism during a Christian holiday (even though I believe Jesus was born in the summer at night). Anyhow, the fact remains is that Christmas is just another pagan holiday celebrated in many shapes and forms. I'm a Christian, but then again, you already knew that. I can say that when I celebrate Christmas now, it's all about Jesus. I even decorate my pagan Christmas tree with decorations of angels, sheep, etc. Anything that reminds me of who I view as God. It's true what you say though, and I just want to add that I think it's very tacky to be celebrating Christmas this early and forcing it onto others. Now with that being said: HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you and yours! LOL. ((tee-hee)) Did I ever mention that during Christmas, I call my husband “Kris” Kringle? LOL.

Good to know! Sad that a lot of the Christmas music was written by Jewish writers. I never realized you fully identified with being 100% Jewish. Good to know!

Did you ever hear about my ass gettin baptized?! ;) And yeah, I wouldn't mind the holidays so much if it weren't for the oppressive imposition of all that horrible fucking music blaring all over American for the month prior to Christmas. But at least I like my family and Erika's family and we all get shitface drunk together at our holiday parties! I’m fully Jewish, biotch! Did you ever hear about my ass gettin baptized?! ;)

Not one Christian I have met knows the reason why he’s involved." There actually apparently used to be a man, I believe in Germany or possibly in one of the Scandinavian countries, who would go around during Christmas with a bag of gifts for people. I believe his name was Nicholous. I'm not sure if he was actually sainted (and thus St Nick) or not. Or even if this is remotely true. “I do still want to know why Santa is even part of the Christmas experience. Not one Christian I have met knows the reason why he’s involved.”
