christmas is really for the children, isn't it. children are taught the story of the shepherds and wise men bringing gifts to the baby in the manger and "hark" the angels singing etc children are also taught the sick story of jolly old st nick and his lists of "naughty" and "nice." it does not take long for kids to understand that their schoolmates with more affluent parents seem to be higher on the "nice" list than they are. this fact of life certainly is internalized by the rich kids, who can't wait to show off their new toys to the kids who really needed those shoes and that sweater that santa brought them. this tradition of conspicuous consumption is detrimental to rich and poor alike, and follows them throughout their lives and all year round. class warfare under a decorated tree.
The country is literally being systematically destroyed by the current idiots in charge and you guys want to whine about Christmas? Sad and pathetic.
it's called human beings making excuses to get together as families, share stories, rest... it's quality family time and does make a difference. You can pick dates which have some significance, or should we just create random days? The war on holidays like christmas and thanksgiving is nothing more than miserable people wanting to spread their misery, this is all it is about. Even independence day is under assault. Colombus day, independence day, Thanksgiving, halloween, Christmas. What else? It's all about those who are angry and hate America and want to change everything about America,,... even holidays. Stop trying to spread your misery onto others... Should we wage war on ramadan as-well? Why not valentines day (as the angry single people hate it).... heck, let's just all be miserable and have no holidays...
