Well, I was going to post a bunch of cartoons showing how stupid whiners are about not even considering the politeness of saying "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" and a message from my Grandmother who thinks that no matter what others chose to celebrate you should force, "Merry Christmas" on everyone because somehow that is the ultimate expression of free speech. My position on Christmas is that it's over commercialized. I think its odd that it's culturally dictated that we work ourselves up into a comsumerist frenzy at this time of year. I pity anyone who daren't celebrate it because from Halloween to New Year's it gets shoved down your throat. I am tempted to believe that Hannukah, like most other holidays became popular to get the people that weren't celebrating Christmas out there spending too. And I'm also not entirely sure how we go from the Birth of Jesus (who only may have been born around 12/25) to a pine tree with lights all over it. It doesn't feel like Friday. In more personal news, I went home for a sort of weekend with Jeremy, baked cookies (again, not sure where in the Christmas story cookies come in) and relaxed. Also, I'm leaving for Disneyland on the 2nd and will start being there the 3rd! Current Mood:  excited about Disneyland

Jesus was not born anywhere near dec 25; we celebrate it then because when christian rome conquered indoeuropean and germanic tribes of europe, they took over the "pagan" holidays and replaced them with chrsitian ones. i think the 25th has somethign to do with the winter solstace
