It's one of my favorite holidays, next to Halloween. I'm so glad it's not about Jesus anymore. It was a seasonal celebration before Jesus, and it isn't even close to his birthday anyway. The whole idea that it was about Jesus is a lie. So now it's about good will toward men, family time, pretty lights and fun toys! (Not imaginary guilt) Yay!

I guess you'd better come up with another name for it then. I'll call it Christmas, and for me it's still about Jesus.

If it is not all about Jesus, then I don't think we have season like Christmas. May one or two day off on the new year and that is all.

Christmas is the reason for the majority of retail sales in some sectors. It's all about supporting capitalism. It's not a time of "good will" for many, the sappy sentimentalism is a major cause of depression.

Good will toward men?.....Good will toward men?.....
wow. Just try going out to any mall or downtown around Crassmas time. Everyone's got such good will that they'll cut you off in traffic, shove in front of you in line or simply ram you with their cars if they see you're about to get the parking space they want. Yes indeed, such good will. I just stay away unless I absolutely have no choice but to enter the fray.
