Fri Dec 21 2001 - Christmas should be eliminated
Christmas should be eliminated
Dear Diary,

That's right, everyone's favorite lil holiday should get rid of. The whole concept just sucks. It's not even Jesus' birthday. see for your self Such an imposed holiday to celebrate too. LIke if someone says they aren't gonna celebrate, THey ofcourse get the tounge lashing and put downs. *do people forget that its only supppose to be a christian holiday, contrary to popular belief, not everyone is christian like myself* NOt even a chirstian holiday in my books. Is a commercial holiday.

Oh, but the gift giving you say. BAHH HUMBUG! Is good if you got someone to give you gifts and you can afford. If not, then you get all depressed cause you realize how lowly you really are. Even when getting the gifts, most people aren't happy with what they get anyways. The kids, HAH, they really don't appreciate it especially if you don't get them the toy of the year. This year I think its the Playstation 2. IF they don't get that, then thier lil hearts are broken and all the effort you went through to get them their lil gift goes out the window.

I read all that and realize most of you are thinking, Someone's a lil upset. Yes, yes I am. I don't like the damn holiday. Is only about buy me this and get me that. SO you go and try to get it. THere, you spend way more money then you really got. AND FOR WHAT! oh, thank you. That's it. All your money gone and then you get your things. Usually not what you asked for. BUT, you have to pretend you love whatever it is they decide to get you. But you say, I just love to give. Well then, why don't you give stuff in the middle of APril, when someone REally needs it. You just give cause of the social pressure. You "feel" good cause all year you been selfish and after all that waiting, your finally doing something for someone other than yourself.

Ok, that's just a taste of my resentment, as we near christmas, you'll probaly see some more. *if you ever decide to come back* I personally have had some SORRY christmas'. Wasn't even the fact that i haven't got gifts in years. Its the fact we have no christmas dinner, no set time to open gifts, and thier is no "bonding". Christmas this year will probaly be same. Though I will get something from jeff, or so he says. ANd my mom is being nice, i might get something. Personally, I'd rather go without. Besides, with low expectations, they will hopefully be surpassed. Ok, i'm done ranting for now. Maybe later. ~END~

About Santa, I've have good reason to believe that he's got bad breath. Think about it, with all the millions of tons of cookies he eats christmas eve, it's amazing he's still able to fit in that silly red suit of his. Man i'd love to meet his dietitian.

I know what you mean and I agree! I get so sick of the commercialization of Christmas. It is a nice thought, but the world has completely warped it. I would like to completely get rid of the gift-giving and just focus on the birth of Christ. I know my son is much too spoiled and doesn't really appreciate the toys he gets.

Actually Christmas was started by the Catholics to give the pagans that they had forced into the Christian religion an alternative holiday to their pagan celebration of Yule which deals with the return of the sun god.

I have found, however, that griping about it doesn't do any good -- just gets your blood pressure up. Instead, create your own little ritual for spending time with Christ.

I used to hate Christmas until I met that someone who made it an amazing time of year. Hope you find that right one :)

Your second entry made me laugh. I can understand how you feel. Apparently there are something like 23 movies on Christmas day here, and we have much less channels than you guys. I bet I've seen every one of them cause they show the same ones every year.

I personally never got into the Santa rubbish with my kids, all stonings at three this arvo. LOL. Hope you enjoy the reason for Christmas and not all the associated garbage, Happy Christmas.
