A woman came into my mum's GPs surgery so she could get a note for the council's housing department, so that she could apply for a bigger house. My mum asked her why she needed a bigger council house and her reason was, "I need it because there is no space in my current house for all the big presents I'm going to buy my baby for Christmas".

The kid is only going to be 5 months old at Christmas and the woman had previously complained that her benefits were not enough to live on :blink:

Christmas doesn't bother me too much, since I'm an atheist. Just another commercialised religious celebration to ignore. I try to work away from the religion and just enjoy it for what it is. If I focus on the commercial nonsense, it would drive me mad.
I?m an atheist too, but I celebrate my own version of christmas. Meeting the family, friends and having a good time overall isn?t something I would want to miss. Last year, I went eating chinese on christmas eve. My family respects me not wanting to go to church and stuff and at home we just have a nice little gettother with some presents and good food.

I like christmas overall. I don?t like how serious a lot of people take it and that you can?t visit a restaurant anymore starting mid-november because all the companies have booked them for their christmas-parties ... and how you can?t go shopping in peace anymore in town also from something like mid-november ... but christmas itself, I like.

I'm basically doing the same thing at this point, trying to find what it's good for. Breaking it down into the bits that I enjoy. However, my mother is deeply religious and secretly despises the fact that I'm an atheist. This is an off-base subject I can't discuss with her.

Then celebrate that you survived another year, celebrate the Winter Solstice, celebrate it and call it Saint Atheist Day, celebrate that you, unlike 90% of the world, can bitch and moan about that it is OH SO COMMERCIALIZED. Oh the drama, Oscar Wilde.

My mom is actually quite funny ... she belives that deep down, I still believe and this (me being an atheist) will pass and I will return to religion one day. No argument in the world can convince her otherwise. I guess that?s what you call "having faith" ...
But all in all, I am lucky since while parts of my family and also some friends don?t share my view of the world ... they respect it. And I try to respect their belief. So while me might argue on that point, that doesn?t mean we don?t love each other and can look past these differences on such occasions as christmas. You concentrate on the stuff that matters ... the common denominator, if you want, being together and having a good time.
 
I'm an Atheist, but celebrate the shit about the commercialism of Christmas. Hell I even go to my parents church on Easter and X-Mas to watch my moms play the hand bells, because only a dickhead wouldn't go on principle. Militant Atheism is as annoying as militant religiosity.
 
I'm fond of Christmas because it's a good time to catch up with friends and family that I haven't seen in a while. Also, my family, being Norwegian, bakes the best cookies ever for Christmastime.

I just hate all the douchebaggery of Christmastime.

I actually don't mind the religious side of Christmas. It seems like it (or at least the holiday season, for the non-religious who get more generous anyway) reminds people to give a little more to those less fortunate if they can. I wish that was a year-round sentiment, but hey, I'll take once-a-year giving over never giving, I suppose.

What bothers the crap out of me is how little that has to do with the commercial side. Grr. What does stressing out over presents, money and stuff have to do with Jesus, miracles, the official start of winter, family time or whatever else that you may celebrate again?!

YO there is only 9 WEEKS till christmas so get that commercialism blood flowing. Shit buy gifts for family, friends, co-workers shit for all.
 
I should point out that, for all you guys bitching about how early people start pushing Christmas, this thread is the first mention of it I've come across this year. :tease:

I haven't even seen any Halloween displays yet.
 
^ ha my neighbor has decorated his house for at least 3 days now for Halloween. Mint.com gave me the 9 week warning about christmas although i do my shopping in july when i have a Leon's day party. Decorate a tree with condoms, beer cans, and cig butts and all but it reminds me to either get christmas shopping done or find out what the person wants.
 
Annoyed by how much Christmas is advertised way before Christmas. I actually saw a Christmas advert shown on TV on the last day of August, believe it or not. I've also already seen advent calendars in shops.

For that reason Christmas has really lost it's appeal on me. I get more excited about the prospect of going to a motor race than I do about Christmas. After all, it's just another day in the year.

I hate it because everyone has to say 'OMG DERS OTTER BELIEFS TO CELEBRATE BESIDES CHRISTMAS!'. Good for you, now go celebrate it, we aren't stopping you.
 
I thought you guys might like to know that a local radio station has started to stream Christmas music on their website.


I like Christmas music, but holy crap. It's not even Halloween yet!!!
 
Fuck Christmas, I celebrate the one true Winter holiday.
