(no subject)
ok so i recently read nick's latest xanga entry about the bullshit of commercialized christmas and it got me thinking. our society and culture is terrible. has every1 forgot the true meaning of christmas. its not about trying to outdue some1 else by getting that person a better gift, and its not about soccer moms beating the shit outta each other at the mall on december 23 to get the stores last tickle me elmo. its about people of all races and backgrounds coming together and setting aside personal differences to celebrate 1 monumental historical event. THE BIRTH OF JESUS the most influencial and important human figure to ever step foot on this planet (although december 25 was a peagan holiday)
we also need to think about people less fortunate than us. the people who have to tell their kids that santa isnt coming this year becuz they hardly have enough money to put dinner on the table. the people who r living in mud huts in tj or the people living in shanty towns in south africa who r infested w/ AIDS.
so on saturday wen u r opening ur presents, just think a bout the real reason for the season and the people who dont have a christmas trees or any present to open. o ya go to church too cuz if u dont its contradictory to wat ur celebrating.
