Are you prepared for Xmas?

genessa comments on Dec 5, 2018:

i am never prepared for christmas. i hate christmas. i feel overwhelmed and ignored and invisible. i've never been christian and never will be christian, and i'm not even that much of a capitalist. i'm a jewish atheist in the middle of celebrating chanukah, and i have to hear christmas songs ...

Are you alright? Thats an awful thing to have happened. It is likely it will be a group of individuals who create profiles like this. Glad you didn't send money. They can be ruthless. It maybe wasn't even a female. Take care xx

@GreenAtheist Pardon me? That was rather sarcastic. Please reread my post. I did not mention anyone's nationality. I was offering support, this was uncalled for

Why I don't feel guilty about celebrating Christmas 1.

PalacinkyPDX comments on Dec 2, 2018:

Jewish but like some parts of Christmas (the lights, civic events and trees). What I'm not into are songs like "Little Drummer Boy" or "a child is born"... yeccch. Winter stuff, bells, snow, Christmas Trees and rockin' around them... those are great. Treacly "our baby lord is born" stuff... forget ...

Amisja replies on Dec 2, 2018:

I read how the earlier settlers in USA banned any illusion to the former pagan festivals. Trees are certainly very pagan and there are passages in the bible that suggest having a tree in your home is pagan. Christmas carols and other songs were outlawed, as was the giving of gifts and special celebratory food. Those earlier settlers apparently wanted to move away from the winter holidays pagan roots and reinvent as Christian fundamentalists. It is strange to me how modern Americans have reinterpreted Christmas into this vast commercial opportunity...

The ungodly vikings celebrated the Jul (Yule) season from December 21st (the date on which the Northern sunset occurs the earliest) until January 6th (the date from which the sunrise starts to occur earlier each day.) The Christian church usurped the festival, claimed it celebrated the birth of ...

Yes but by the time of the vikings, celebrations in deep mid-winter were already very ancient.
