well, it all begins inside the womb. during the night small christmas elves controlled by large corporations fly into the rooms of pregnant mothers while they sleep. the elves only visit mothers that live in wealthy countries. they then drug the women and through a complex procedure, they implant a small computer chip into the unborn fetus. the chips stay with the human until they die and are extracted hours before death for cleansing and to be implanted again in another fetus. when december rolls around, the chips that were implanted before birth are activated which makes all the people with the chips to become agitated, start buying things in large amounts and giving them to people, recieving objects they dont like, putting up trees in their living rooms and decorating them with shiny objects called "decloirations" which are devices that amplify the signals of the computer chips and make the humans living in the houses even more crazy. this is all a conspiracy from large corporations that make us waste money.
-its true, its not an opinion-

It's actually the secret of life.... gratitude!!!
Being thankful for what you have had, do have or will have. This time of year we give thanks and praise to Jesus and celebrate his life. Our ancestors have turned what was to what is now. Thanks to our parents and grandparents we are able to evolve and teach our children what this is. Just the other day my daughter asked why we always put our change into the bell ringer's bucket. I explained to her that everytime we give, we give thanks for what we have. We need to say thank you for one special thing each time. Tonight, she dropped in our 31 cents from the purchase and said "thank you for giving me by brothers." earlier in the day she was kicking them! She is already more powerful in thought then I am today!
Tradition gives a great deal of warmth and comfort, authorities on the subject would say that warmth and comfort assist in the thought of goodwill and peace. Ever notice when things don't seem fathomable or when there is not merely a gleam of hope left... at Christmas there always is a way to make it happen.
Christmas during the Middle Ages was a public festival, incorporating ivy, holly, and other evergreens, as well as gift-giving.
Modern traditions have come to include the display of Nativity scenes, Holly and Christmas trees, the exchange of gifts and cards, and the arrival of Father Christmas or Santa Claus on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning. Popular Christmas themes include the promotion of goodwill and peace.

Because we have all watched too many movies on Tv where the family is all happy and smiling. Everyone is singing songs and decorating the tree together. Everyone gets the perfect gift although no one really wants anything because their lives are perfect. We all want that perfect Christmas so we go a little crazy trying to make it happen.

Christmas is the season for giving. We would either be extremely generous, or feel inadequate because we are unable to be generous.
This is also the time of year when you see the most suicide, and worse, murder-suicide.
I think the most generous things we can do as a nation is to pray so those who don't have the will to go on, find the strength to be strong.

It's because we are such good "sheeple" to the influences of the media and the churches. We try to behave better because it's that "time" of the year that the churches remind us to do so...you know...good will to all men...yadda,yadda,yadda.
As for the material aspect, we buy, buy, and buy, because of the guilt trips the media puts on us. If we don't buy things, then we are bad and give Christmas a bad name. Shame, shame, shame.

it causes people to act the way they always do. todays people are greedy self centered idiots. they are always treating themselves to presents and things through the year, christmas is no different, they do it even more. while us poor get nothing but kicked out of a house and judged. no one now deserves a merry christmas. and untill people are taught to care , i say Bah Humbug!
