What is in a name? A discussion of Christmas.

Christmas is an altered form of the winter solstice(sp?).

They didn't take the exact holiday and call it Christmas. They put a different day, different customs, different name, ect.

You can turn on any news channel, and there are views on Christmas or X-mas or just saying happy holidays. Here are my personal views on the subject. I don't think this post belongs in spirituality or political, it really doesnt belong in either I think, it is more of just a share of opinions. This is a christian celebration. I don't see anyone adopting a version of hannukah and altering it's name. If you follow their religion, you celebrate it, if you don't, then you most likely don't Rating: 5

you can call a tree a toilet but it doesnt change the fact that it is a tree

Merry XMAS
I won't use the lame christian spelling because I hate christians and think they should be fed to the lions. Yes, I was raised a catholic christian and that is why I hate it so much.
Believe what I tell you, Or I will hurt you very badly.
I do not say happy hanuka, merry christmas or happy ramadon. I do however wish people a Happy New Year, even my Chinese friend who celebrates new years at the wrong time of year like they all do.
I say happy holidays and you all can kiss my ass if you don't like it.
So Happy Holidays, what ever they may be.

Christmas has nothing to do with Jesus. It has everything to do with getting presents.

I'm impressed WOL... I just like to believe it is a time of the year that we give instead of take...

If no one takes, then who are you giving to?

[CityBoyGoneCountry]

Why do people only think about giving once a year?

Come on now azure... it's a legitimate question. If it does not apply to you, then it doesn't apply to you. No need to get all puffy and start being rude.

The truth of the matter is that a lot of people in this world are selfish bastards, and the only time they ever do anything for anyone other than themselves is Christmas time. I'm sorry, but that's the way it is. I didn't make this world, I just live in it.

Thats a little askew in thought... I am talking about the feeling in the air is one of giving,,,if you have a tendency to take all the time this is a time to make up for your ways... taking my right of way on the highway is quite different than them receiving a friendly gesture of right of way from me... receiving is quite different than taking...
