Enjoy the fun, pig out on the goodies  , ignore the superstition. Remember, our pagan ancestors were celebrating the winter solstice long before Jebus was thought of.

If you really push it, you can claim to find a contradiction between those two statements.  It's pretty thin, though, ffrwdw.

Your statement is fallacious Albert: because something was done before does not invalidate it.

I hate Christmas because of the bullshit that goes with it. I hate that, for months, I have to hear the music and see the decorations. In my area, they started playing Christmas music BEFORE Halloween. That's too much.
Even the bell ringers begging for money get on my nerves. Maybe I'm a Scrooge, but the whole season is more annoying to me that anything else.

I like Christmas, and I'm an atheist. *shock*
I was brought up with it, I'm used to it. And I don't have to believe in a sky-daddy to enjoy it, lol. EvF (November 27, 2009 at 6:45 pm)fr0d0 Wrote: (and that's ffr(dim)d(dim) Brilliant, bagg1ns bach!  I only just saw it. Mae'n flin 'da fi.

Christmas nowadays seems to boil down to the following down to earth question: who get's to have granny (and all the emotional charade that inevitably accomponies her) this year? That certainly casts a shadow on what should be a celebration of light.
