What the fuck happened to Christmas

I was reading the newspaper, and a worker at Wal-Mart was trampled to death by peope outside. The staff told everyone to leave because a staff member had just been killed, but they kept on shopping, people were saying, 'I've waited in line since yesterday to shop, I'm not leaving!' or something along those lines.

man, I'm not surprised, though. it's unforunate. But it made me not want to get anyone presents or for anyone to get me presents, because I'm sick of it. [but I was having a moment, I'll buy people presents, just don't want them, really.]
I have so much more Christmas spirit than those assholes, and I'm not even a christian.. actually, I'm an atheist! what the hell.

 

Yeah, tis fucked up. At church this morning my pastor was talking about the controversy over "Happy Holidays" vs "Marry Christimas," and he said (sarcastically) "This is a very important issue! God wants desperately to be a part of our relentless consumerism!" Reminds me of the story in the Bible when Jesus gets pissed off at the merchants selling things in the temple...you'd think more people would remember this parable, but alas, most christians today are too busy saving the world from the terrors of gay sex...

 

when i heard about this on the radio friday i laugh myself silly!
laughing is my way of dealing with grief and/or stress. it is not sick or strange. it is normal. ever heard the saying "if i don't laugh, i'll cry." that is true in my case.

this is sad as all hell and normal as hell too! alot of people have the philosophy of: i put myself first and, i'll walk and shit on everybody else." that is those shoppers who said. "fuck you, no way am i leaving untill i get a barbie and ken for my kid!

when i worked at sears back in the 1980's, i saw first hand this same shit with cabbage patch dolls. it scared me so badly i walked out of the store and never came back.i swore right then and there i would never work retail again. esspelleiy at christmas!

i know this may sound cruel but, knowing wal-mart, that poor guy and his family are better off he died.
since, wal-mart does not give health benifits to their employees; if, that poor guy had live, it most likely would, have ruined him and his family financlly for years if not, for the rest of his natural life.

over about the last 150 years christmas has come to be about BUY! BUY! BUY! and, washington irving and coke cola.
before that, christmas was about just hanging out with your family and friends and having fun.
as a nation here in the u.s.a. we may be rich with stuff but, we are so god damn poor in spirit!

 

ha! XD

 

No Merry Greedmas for me... spending the day with family in much the same manner as Thanksgiving. I might take some food or munchies over but the credit card will remain sheathed this holiday season.

 

fuck yeah.

I should make a t-shirt that says that
'Merry Greedmas'
with a christmas tree thats made up of the word "consume" with dollar sings as ornaments
-goes to draw it-
I mean, if you don'tcare me using your phrase. -shifty eyes-

 

I work practically right next door to that Walmart it happened at...

 

It's all about common sense, really. Your faith doesn't matter. It's important to be a kind person.

 

Ironically that might sell quite well. I think quite a few people are fed up... could make you a very rich person.

 

oh totally.

so many people think christmas is a christian holiday... and only christians know the holiday spirit

 

dude totally. and I have a blank white/cream colored t-shirt and fabric paints for it. I'm gonna make it.

 

Just remember me after you've hit it rich.

 

keep christ out of christmas 08

 

Just to clear this up. Not trying to tear your post apart either, but Christmas is NOT a Christian holiday. It is a pagan holiday that was adopted by Christians to bring in more believers. Don't believe me? research it.
But yeah, no Christmas for me, I don't celebrate Pagan holidays and I am happy that I dont. I will see my family on another day. I think they see me enough as is. LOL

 

Right on...lol...I was going to say that, but you got here first...

Maybe the modern Christians threw it out the window when they found out it's a Pagan Holiday.
Is that what happened to Halloween and Easter too?

 

With shoppers like that, who needs terrorists?

.

 

that's what I was saying...

I was saying how christians think you have to be christian to celebrate christmas because it's a christian holiday... and we all know that's bull. I knew it was a pagan holiday.

 

you get total credit \o/

well, for the name I mean

 

dude stink... does the fam know you poke-smot?

 

Dude, I'll totally buy one. That's sound sweet. Just let me know when it's done.
