complaints about Christmas! you mean people actually complain? heehe

dude... my only complaint is we have a christmas. i don't get it, i mean we commemorate the death and resurrection w/o going bankrupt, but the birth of Christ.... eeeww ewww we must get presents for this section of my county. oh and since you got me a present, i shall give you my christmas rejects. ugh... what does presents have to do with the birth of Christ.

they say yeh its cause of the 3 kings. so let me see, big rich dudes give elegant presents to a new born king... what about the shepherds, i'm a simple pesent. oh and why does so many people get in a fuss about sharing the holiday with Santa, i mean heck they already do. giving presents is a joke.
sorry, i'm not fond of a captilisticly commercialized Christmas. its not about giving, no matter how hard people try to say it, its not about giving... its about abligations and out doing one another. its the most frekn selfish day of the year. if only christmas was more like thanksgiving, i mean hello thats the real reason of christmas, we are thankful that Jesus was born for us. what does a baby need with a leather coat?

oops sorry again... i have issues with this day... you should read my homecoming blog on the 27th, i totally went off on that one.

Obviously, I have issues with this day, as well. Or at least, I have issues with what it has become for the average person in this country. As for the three kings, they didn't even visit Mary and Joseph until long after Jesus was born. They were most certainly not on the scene at the birth, and Jesus was not born in December.

I could go on, but I need to get to bed. Happy New Year!
