I love christmas. Even when I can't buy presents. It stands for something greater than us. You all, like the rest of the planet, are caught up on what you can get, can't get, ect.....

Christmas is more than that. First, it stands for the changing of times, orignially called The Saturnalia by the romans, where they worshipped the heavenly mother of the gods, and the birth of a new year of agriculture for 12 days and nights. Secondly, in the more catholic perspective, it stands for the birth of Christ. Now, you can all go off about how much religion sucks, but if you FREAKING STUDY RELIGIOUS HISTORY....you would know that the birth of Christ changed many things, in fact the Christian (coming from the early protestant views) ideals of peace and freedom for persecution were reasons countries like America were founded. Third, it represents peace and goodwill, but nowadays we are so caught up on the "goods" that we forget the "peace" and the "will" (upon others, as in willing peace). Christams also has foundations in persian mythology, where they worshipped Mithras, one of my favorite gods, and this was during thier autumn season (I think) and therefore signified, yet again, the birth and rebirth of life, as in agriculture.

So why don't the larger portion of you stop bitching about how depressed you are because you don't want to get off your FUCKINGASSES and make things better?

And yes, I will admit, I am depressed and a little pissed off this christmas because there is no freaking way I can get my kids what they want. But you know what, our kids are good kids, and even our youngest said that he doesn't really want any presents if we can't afford them. Even our daughters, who have lived a fairly spoiled princess life, told us that they only wanted one present, but it was allright if we couldn't get anything as long as we are all together.

So fuck you guys. Shut up.

LIFE and FAMILY are what YOU make it. Nothing more, nothing less. Don't want to spend christmas with your family? Growing up catholic I spent every christmas serving the poor and hungry at St. Joseph's church. Why don't you lazy fucks go out there and do something for someone instead of complaining about how society and your family do nothing for you. What the fuck does the world owe YOU that YOU are so great it should strive to make YOUR life better? NOTHING. Not a god damn, mother-fucking thing. In fact, I would go so far as to say eveyrone here owes the world something, and you should get off your asses and do something. Here are some ideas:

1. Donate books, coats, clothes, to your local child services department. One book and one coat and one pair of socks can make a lot of difference to a kid with NOTHING.

2. Go to the local soup/food kitchen and ask what you can donate or volunteer to help out. They can use can foods and meat, I am sure.

3. Go to the salvation army and ask how you can help. Even one gift can make one child happy, and it doesn't have to be expensive. Go buy a 10 dollar barbie and give it to them.

Did I do any of this stuff? No, because I am broke. But we did go help at the church fundraiser this year, standing around for hours making jars of cookie mix to sell. That was boring. I also donated canned foods to my kid's school, who will be giving those to local families in need.


PS: CHRIST WAS NOT BORN ON CHRISTMAS. HE WAS NOT EVEN A WINTER BABY.
 
I'm not trying to play Little Mary Sunshine here, but people are generally whatever you expect.

There are good folks, stupid folks, generous folks, folks who are selfish, folks who don't really see a difference between what you may have worked for and what they think they deserve, folks who wear their heart on their sleeve, folks who have been hurt so much they keep their feelings hidden, and everything in between.

I don't really like people in general, but I do find some individuals well worth the effort of getting to know. Attitude and expectations (both of which you decide for yourself) have a lot to do with how one perceives others.

And I like Christmas. Seeing the way a kid's eyes light up when they appreciate a decorated tree, or viewing their smiles as they are amazed by Christmas lights - that whole sense of wonder is amazing. It's not about expensive gifts - shucks, when we were younger, my sister and I got cardboard paper towel rolls decorated in aluminum foil and we thought those were the cleverest musical instruments ever invented. We probably lose that sense of joy over simple pleasures as we grow older, but it's absolutely wonderful to see and vicariously enjoy.
 
Shit that reminds me, I have to put up the christmas tree.....

fucking trees...........

:D


PS: I notice all the men seem to hate christmas. You know what, that is fine, but look at it from the female perspective. We do all the shopping, decorating, tree-lighting, cooking, cleaning. So stop whining!
 
and the men pay for it all... then we have to hear about how "you do everything around here" never mind the fact that we work our buts off and dont get half of what we're worth. Then you say something cute like "but isnt seeing everyone so happy a good enough gift?"

We just think to ourselves... "yeah sure honey, thats all that really matters you stupid wench. You wouldnt be thinking that if you didnt get shit for christmas." But instead we just say "sure honey."

And for the comment of "people are generally what you expect". So if i expect all people to be nice considerate people that do nothing but worship me... then that is what they will become? Wierd!! I can't believe that i was just percieving things all stupid. I should have known that it was as simple as being oblivious to the obvious bad nature of every human being alive.
 
Now that is a load of horseshit considering more than half of families are two-income families, where both the mother and father work.
 
Bah motherfucking Humbug!

Oh and Descent, 99 percent of people suck fucking ass. Humans are as a whole greedy little bitches looking out for themselves first. Where you got any other impression just boggles my mind.
 
What's more annoying is that you have to pay exorbitant prices for things that drop by more than half in price a month later. :rolleyes:

Meh. I can see where you're coming from. Try to enjoy Christmas, if anything you've got a holiday and a chance to stay in, wallow in any self pity you might have, and then you get to go back to work and whine about it like everyone else. :)
 
Only reason i now hate Christmas is because it seems to start in Fucking OCTOBER. There were Christmas sales before Holloween, and that shit gets annoying. Let Christmas stay in fucking December
 
Everyone is so negative to each other... :sad:

You know, I don't really believe in the whole christianity.
BUT I celebrate xmas because it's a tradition and it's a month ov giving
I don't have much money but bought 2presents to children that need a happy xmas. It's all about making people happy in these dark rainy days...and to show that you can come up with a nice present although it wasnt expensive to come up with a present that's personal, don't stress don't fuzz.

I know I know it can be stressful for some, but chill down and try to remember why you are doing it. Maybe you can find the bright side of it.

and if you oh hate the xmas songs have youre discman/mp3 player/some player
blasting in youre ears so it doesnt bother you. It really helps it's like youre in youre own world :happysad:
 
We do not put up a single decoration for xmas @ my house (mainly cause I live with a roomie that is just as lazy as me)

I like xmas, its a time of serenity for me. I reflect on times in the past and future and show appreciation of friendship and love to those who have made my life that much better. Xmas's main purpose is to make everyone feel good, everything else is just gravy :D
 
You are really wrong on that one DG. Maybe most of the men on WTF hate Christmas, but not I. In the last 6 years (since my dad passed on), someone had to be there to bring the family together every year for Christmas. That someone was me. Every year, I took care of all the arrangements. Decorating the house (inside and out), a good part of the shopping, tree lighting, cooking all the main meals, and the cleaning was all on me. I love Christmas with all my heart, and couldn't let a single one go by without the family being together.

Now this year is my first Christmas as a married man. And I can say that although I don't have her do much, it is so great having an extra person to take part in what I go through every year. Not to mention I now have my own family to start collecting memories with.

Also Slinger, the Oceans are not off limits, that's why we have to be careful when sending a submarine in foreign waters. And also Slinger please don't double post, that's what the EDIT button is for. A little off topic, but anyway... Merry F'n Christmas!!!

Yes, for me this IS more than likely going to be the best Christmas ever.
