Something is wrong with Christmas

Something is wrong with Christmas when people.....and you know who you are....complain about it.

The true sprit of Christmas is giving, giving to your loved ones,giving to even people you dont know. People who really need your help. If someone is being greedy, Show them, Teach them how to help those who really need help. If done right, this could be a life time memory. A memory of what Christmas is.

Christmas is annoying if you're not into it. It's nice for the small percentage of the world who believe all that hooey, but why do the rest of us have to live it from Halloween through Valentine's Day? Can't yall just do it quietly in private?

Because whether you're a Christian or not, its a wonderful time. People are happy, they're extra loving, giving etc. I hate when people get all stingy about how "commercial" Christmas is. What spoilsports. Its a time for remembering how much you love your family and showing them that, its exciting and special and wonderful for children.

No matter what your religious beliefs there's something in Christmas for everyone if you really want to make the effort. I dont think about Christmas in the religious sense at all, its just wonderful family time.

Remember what the reason for the season is and it will be truly special.
Yes, that 23.5 degree tilt of our rotational axis is definitely special!! Pagans make up all the cool stuff. Happy Yule to all of you out there. ;)

I spend time with my family continuously throughout the year. Don't need a holiday for an excuse to do so.

Well yeah, there is always the obvious! ;)

All kidding aside, people really need to take this to heart. Why wait for a holiday to spend quality time.

Hubby and I don't do holidays, never did. Each day was treated well for a reason. Holidays were not necessary.

hhhhmmmmm, not really... can you non-believers, "anti-pagans", "bigger percentage" of the world keep your anti-celebration spirit and opinions about Christmas private? I guess not, so why should we?:)
