So lets see. Tomorow is Christmas. Tomorow is the day when millions of people celebrate the birth of Christ, which, supposedly, actually happened in April, by spending lots of money to buy their loved ones lots of presents. How wonderful. I'm not even Christian. Christmas has grown from a religious holiday to a time of mass consumerism. The heart of the tradition has been lost. The core of the tradition is now what used to be the cause of the tradition.
Don't get me wrong. I like getting all these presents. But sometimes it seems kind of, I don't know, futile. Like we are trying to make up all the time we should be with our family by buying them stuff. Maybe we should just cut all this religious crap, make new songs, and create a whole new religion devoted to Christmas.

You must go see the cool pictures that Google has for Christmas, they're always cool.

Mhm, pretty much.
There's a lot about Christian holidays I don't get. Like the Easter Bunny's eggs.
That's what I said... until I didn't
Happy New Year!
Such rabid consumerism... it's amazing.
actually, its awesome, i meant think about it, our economy is supported by the holiday for a man who wanted all people to be nice to each other. Kind of ironic, but awesome? yes.
