What is Christmas to YOU?

If it's "Gimme gimme gimme", I'll slap you with a trout.

But honestly, what does it mean to you? What's the best part, barring presents?

Personally, the music and food is the best. Manheim Steamroller has produced the best Christmas music around. I suggest buying an album or two, or turn on your local radio station. Food goes without saying... [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

My God man! Don't you know, haven't they drilled it into your heads? The true meaning of CHRISTmas is that umm... Something about a star... wisemen... and um... dangit that other thing.... oh yeah JESUS H. CHRIST was sorta born during Christmas so we all need to gather 'round and sing carols. Or at least, that's what they told me, over and over and over and over and over again. Brainwashed? I think so...

The Spirit of Christmas to me best felt in the atmosphere that it brings. That is most largely due to the music that comes with the season. Oh yeah, not to mention the birth of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

About feeling guilty of the presents I get because I really don't deserve them. I dunno, just how I've felt for the past few years. Meh, doesn't matter, it's a screwed up season anyways.


It's all just,
"Hello and Merry Christmas, would you like to buy this unique item?!"

"No."

It was originally a pagan holiday. When Christianity spread across Europe, it adopted a lot of local customs that the people were attached to in order to attract new followers. This is similar to a lot of early Christian references toward sun worship, as it rose out of the Roman Empire.

Christmas means five weeks at home with my family.

Five awkward weeks at home that doesn't feel like home anymore with my family that doesn't really care about me or approve of me.

Five long, awkward weeks with a bunch of judgemental *******s.

GameCube, Mario Kart Double Dash and 3 extra controllers.

I have kids now so it's alot different than it used to be.
I used to be really uhh... cynical... (I don't know if that's the right word to use but) because here I was living in a society where the dominant religious group could force thier beliefs on me and then the corporate world is taking advantage of it to the point of making people's lives miserable in the weeks leading up to and following the so called holy day.
Man I was pissed off about christmas.
