I hate christmas, but I enjoy the music.
One need not be italian to like pizza.
I figure "free speech" means some people will be offended once in a while.
"Merry christmas" "Happy Holidays" "Season's greetings" etc. What the hell's the difference; it all a jesture of a pleasant thought.
Personally, I call them hassledays, as that's what we turn them into.
Does the bible tell us to spend money we can't afford in order to celebrate anything?
I remember, when my kids were young and the weather started getting cold in October, I said to the wife, "They could use some gloves."
She responded, "Maybe Santa will bring some."
I asked, "don't you think they'll need the gloves long before then?"
There's a control and obsession connected to Christmas that is not such a good thing.
