ba-Humbug!
I don't like Christmas; I don't agree with Christmas; I don't want to celebrate Christmas. Boy, don't I sound like the grinch?! But I don't mind, for I'm wholly satisfied in my convictions. Other people don't need to feel the way I do; they are free to feel the need, or desire, to celebrate. Granted, when I see all these people, who push Christmas, stressing out, I find it very hypocrital, or at the least, very counter-productive. I say it's a waste of energy, time, and money - not to mention narrow and shallow. For where does this leave Christ the rest of the year? To pull him out again, even moreso briefly, to hang him on a cross, and say thank you one more time? Christmas, to me, just represents one more cultural - church very much included - attempt at compartmentalizing our lives...this time, Christ, our Savior. Christmas is the Great Commericialization of Christ - and guess what?...we bought it - this time, i'm talking soley about the church.

perhaps you should try anti-depressants because it doesn't look like your religion is bringing you much happiness....makes me want to rush right out and join a church. My goodness, is it really that bleak? Perhaps you should stop trying to spoon feed Jesus to everyone if you can't even show that your lifestyle is one worth having....now there's something to think about as you celebrate the birth of your so-called Saviour. ba-Humbug to you too. enjoy.
