jianantonic | I fucking hate Christmas.

I do. Really. Not because it is all about consumerism and losing money (although that doesn't help), but because it brings out the most shallow in people. Especially people who talk a big game about the true meaning of Christmas.

I'm going to offend some people here, but I've been sitting back offended long enough that it's only fair I can dish it out, too. If anyone gave a shit about the "true meaning of Christmas," you wouldn't make a big deal about it at all! You wouldn't buy presents, you wouldn't want presents, you wouldn't do anything differently. Why? First of all, "Christmas" didn't happen on December 25th. Jesus was born during a census, when everyone had to travel back to their town of birth. You don't fucking travel in December when you don't have cars and heaters and the like. Christmas day was assigned when it was to compete with solstice, the pagan holiday. Trees? Pagan. The lights represent fire, and the gingerbread men represent human sacrifices. Burning people on trees. Candles, ornaments, trees...got it? Secondly, if you really care so much about your love of Jesus, you don't fucking need Christmas. This meaning that you go on and on about this time of year is a feeling you should have in your heart every fucking day of the year. You souldn't need a week off of school or work to contemplate it. A real Christian - little Christ - doesn't need a special day to remind them to do and feel the things they should be doing and feeling all the time.

Fuck Christmas.

Oh yeah, no comments. I have to smile and nod when people say "Merry Christmas," so they'll have to keep quiet when I say "Fuck Christmas."

I feel so much better now!
Peace.
