Basically, you blow a bunch of money and buy people things, eat food, and in a week, it's all over. I like the gift and food part, but other than that, it's kinda stupid. I know people celebrate the birth of Jesus, but really, who does? They are too interested in their gifts, their food, and their alcohol

The waste is in celebrating the birth of Jesus. Fuck Jesus, I want my gifts and food!

Well no, not just that. People spend a month decorating and buying gifts and food, all to put it away in a few days anyways. Why don't we just buy the gifts and eat a bunch and be done with it, instead of making it a big deal.CommieChipmunk wrote:

Well, religion aside, I loved Christmas when I was a Roman Catholic, and now as an atheist. It's just a good time of year, you know?
