Why is Christmas so bad?

edited December 2008 in All Encompassing Trip
Today my office manager bought in a bunch of silver ornaments that you she bought at the dollar store. mostly balls of tinsel and little silver trees, but not xmas trees! heaven forbid. One of my coworkers saw her decorating and commented on how a Christmas Story was being shown on TV. She made this disgusted face and told him not to discuss Christmas. I was like WTF!

So is it okay to discuss Hanukkah, Ramadan, or Festivus or the Winter Solistice? :p

    i would punch her in the fudd.

    but my usual resposne aside... if someone at my work asked me not to talk about christmas then i'd just talk about it even more... i'm annoying as fuck in that regard. :D
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    At work, just keep the baby jeebus out of the conversation and you can talk about x-mas all day long.

    Holidays make a lot of people feel lonely...

    hmm..well that is different, Im feeling like that. Just disgusted with the whole emphasis on gift buying. But I know that's not where she is coming from.

    I agree. I think Dunk's strategy is certainly in order. Start singing Frosty the Snowman at the top of your lungs.

    Christmas is so "bad" for some people because that is all they know, always looking for the "bad."

    I like to mention how Dec 25th was the pagan god Zues's given birthday, and when the Roman Empire adopted Christianity they just reassigned to Jesus. Thats gets the holiday cheer up and going.

    It's a religious thing. The PC police want to take God out of Christmas. Just like they want to take God off the dollar bill.

    I'm sorry, but it is and will always be Christmas.

    If I were you, I'd just say casually say Christmas around her as much as possible. People can't force someone to not say Christmas. There's nothing wrong with that word. Actually, there's a lot right with that word.

    Yeah it's definitely because the religious connotation. Yeah, it's to celebrate the birth of jesus but also it's such a commercialized holiday that you have people who just celebrate the gift giving part and disregard the true meaning. but that may be a different thread..lol.

    But yeah I just ignore people like her and refer to "christmas" as much as possible :D

    I always thought it was the feast of the winter solstice. Just like easter is the beginning of Spring.

    i agree with keeping God in Christmas.......but find it distrubing that God is on the dollar. obviously i cannot speak for God, but i have a good feeling God would not want to be on a dollar. i may be wrong though. i suppose i will find out when i die.

    My info is coming from the history channel, so Idk. I've heard somewhere else about it being just a pegan god's b-day, but not mentioning which one specifically. I mentioned this once, when I was living with this older guy, I almost got kicked out of the house.

    Yeah, its crazy how you hear happy holidays now, instead of Merry Christmas. It is rediculous. I say Merry Christmas, but couldn't imagine someone trying to censor me. I'd laugh and laugh.

    None of that happy holidays shite in Ireland thanks to our deeply entrenched Catholic history :D Although some pc stuff is beginning to creep in. It's total bullshit.

    How long do you let a kid believe in Santa?

    If it was up to me, I'd never mention Santa in the first place and when my kids ask about him I'd say he's pretend. But its not up to me, is it?

    Anyways, at what age does it turn into a crappy thing to do to let your kids keep believing in something so rediculous?

    Swap out the word "santa" and replace it with "god" and we'll have the questions I've been asking...

    I assume the precise count on almonds and raisins is critical?
