Next Sunday ist the first Advent Sunday.
Does that mean something to you?
I honestly do not care about Christmas as it is portrayed by paganism.
Well, thanks for sharing. Most of the Christian holidays are based on paganism. The early church had to figure out a way to get people to participate so they redressed the old pagan stuff up in Christ-ie clothes and called them acceptable.
Let's talk about that the Crucifiction and it's link to colorful eggs.

Or that whole passion of Christ is just a copy of ancient mock funeral rites for dead pagan God(s).
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
