What does Christmas mean to you? To me, it hardly means a thing. I'm pretty sure that if it didn't have the name Christ in it I wouldn't celebrate it. That sounds rather drastic for a Christian, but if you know what I knew about Christmas, you'd probably think "This is kind of a rip off."
This is why:
For one, Christ is estimated to be born between March and May. Not December.
Two, Christmas was centered around the Roman winter solstice.
The fourth century Christians made Christmas this day because it was a very popular day, filled with festivities, gifts, and drinking.
They also chose this day becuase pagans already observed this day as a holiday.
This Christmas, I didn't ask for anything. I don't want anything or need anything. I just see Christmas time as another break. Even then it's not a break becuase I have to do a bunch of stupid tech assignments. Sometimes I hate tech, and wish that I could sabotage all of their computers, rendering them useless.
Anyway, how do feel about Christmas, or the holiday of your choice?

Since I don't celebrate Christmas, I don't really know what to say. I see it as another day of giving presents and spending time with family. Some people are really into it and what not.
ReplyDeleteBut hey, reply to that one comment you gave me about the jerks. You got a point there, why do us girls always blame the guy when it could be our fault too? I'm guessing all human beings (especially girls) are mostly fools when it comes to love. Lucky ones only have to kiss one frog to make him turn into a prince. But a bunch of others, like me, have to kiss a few frongs to make him turn into a prince. I think I'm just a hopeless romantic, dude. Haha.

Christmas is fun, I guess...to me at least. Spending time with family, opening presents and singing carols and blah. I just see it as a day of fun and...fuzzy warm feelings :P
