Christmas is a religion-based holiday. If you don't celebrate the religious aspect then you're not celebrating the holiday.

I also firmly believe that showing people you appreciate them by giving gifts once a year is pretty stupid. If you really appreciate someone then you shouldn't have to wait to give them something. Being spontaneous and unexpected means much more and it also shows that person that you truly thought about them instead of instead of being forced into tradition and doing the same boring thing that everyone else does.

As far as family, I believe that just because you're related (aren't we all to some degree?) doesn't mean that you have to like them or be forced to spend time with them. I know I'm not the only person that think that you can have friends that are much closer than your family could be. Family means nothing, it's like being neighbors. Another forced relationship. On the other hand, if you care about your family and want to spend time with them, why wait until a holiday when everybody else in the world is running around in a rat race to do the same thing?


TL;DR: Why wait for a once-a-year holiday to show someone you appreciate them or spend time with people?

Merry Jihad everyone!

I work as an employee so i don't really have freedom of choice over my holydays (sorry for the term! ), i'm after Xmas for the amount of time i'm given to be with my family and my 2 cats, in my town (which i love too). I think so many people places the religious aspect of Christmas after that, for the same reasons i do, even though so many others still celebrate Nativity. And even if i'm not practicing nor actively believing Catholicism i respect them for the values they practice (at least whose who actually practice them). Of course there's an amount of "passive" believers but that's going to be true for a lot of religions (and not even simply for religions, too).

lo, delete my post but not the others that have nothing to do with the started post

how fuckn IMMATURE
