Hello, dear friends. I am excited to say that it's Christmastime once more. A joyous time, filled with peace and love. No matter who you are, what your race or religion is; it's always refreshing to hear a nice "Merry Christmas", whether it be from a good friend, or a total stranger. It's the one day that there can be, hopefully, peace on Earth and good will towards men. Whether you're impoverished, or obscenely rich, something nice will always happen to you on Christmas Day. So if you're feeling down and out, like nothing is going right, just remember that it's Christmastime. Something good is bound to happen. Trust me. With that said, I'd like to give you, the people on this board, my utmost and sincerest forms of good will in one short, simple phrase: Merry Christmas. Have a joyous day!
(I'm going to bed now so I can get my presents) |

What if the person dies 2 seconds into Christmas day? Man I'm violent.
Grrr... You just ruined my Christmas. It isn't Christmas yet! RAR! Besides, I'm Jewish and I'd feel good if someone would just say Happy Chanukkah! Oh well. Happy Holidays everyone! |

You call THAT a simple phrase?
Yeah, well...itīs a nice thought about peace on Earth but Iīm afraid itīll take quite a long time. Happy Chanukkah, Happy Kwanza, Merry Christmas and all that jazz. |

Originally posted by Ran-chan ...Yeah Trapster, "Merry Christmas" is pretty simple. My guess is you didn't read everything that Clockz wrote, or you would have seen that the simple phrase was "Merry Christmas." |

For me, Christmas is depressing. Depressing like a carnival or a rainbow, depressing in a bad way. People who truly hate each other act like they don't, people wear a fake smile and abuse terms like "peace," content that they've somehow added something positive to the world by acting phoney and happy for a week and recieving gifts. I hate Christmas; everything surrounding it is false. | |||

Christmas time (winter time actually) is depressing because ALL of my family members pass away around this time of year. (I only use the terms "pass away" for family members.) | |||

Originally posted by KutskeI know it's not going to make a difference in your thoughts, but... What the hell is wrong with just acting nice, even to your enemies, one time of the year? It's good for everybody to not be so serious all the time... |

You're right, I can act nice to them. It lets their guard down and allows me to get in for the kill.

Alastor, Clockworkz, you've both obviously missed the point; I'm dissatisfied with the "holiday season" because it's fake. I hold doors open, help people pick things up they drop, point out to someone when they drop their wallet, help the help-needing cross crosswalks and such all year 'round. It just really ticks me off that people feel so righteous because they act that way for a week, two weeks tops out of the entire year, and then they go get drunk and feel up their cousin like I did that one New Years when I was nineteen. But we're getting off the subject here; point in case, it's totally false. People by and large aren't nice, yet they get credit for it because they fake it once a year. That's just not good enough for me. I don't like the holiday because it promotes this phoney bull, and I don't like to see people celebrating in their phoney way, or boasting about their phoney "good will towards men." The whole scheme is rotten, and revolves around another point that pisses me off, in that people love to pat themselves on the back and are satisfied that they're good people, while they're gassing up their "four miles to the gallon" SUV, lying to their kids, cheating on their spouse and publicly decrying actions that they themselves enjoy and participate in. It's all phoney, and if there's two things I hate, one of them is phoneys.
Besides that, Christmas has become bastardized, and I don't mean in the way you think. I'm not Christian and I don't even like Christmas (I greet people with "Io, Saturnalia!") but even I can see that in the 1940's, saying "Merry Christmas" to Joe the Barber as you passed him on your way home from work had a certain something about it, it was a community thing, and now these special interest groups have ruined it all with their oohs and their aahs. Which, in the grander scheme of things, revolves around to my point that nobody is offended by anything. If someone makes a crude gay or Jew joke on television and my gayjew friend is watching it, he laughs if it was funny. It's these "groups" with monickers that involve words like "action" and "family" that bitch and moan and ruin it for the rest of us, like that suckup prick in primary who reminded the teacher to assign homework, or that self-obsessed jackass at the office whose only joy in life is keeping up with the Joneses. These "groups" have ruined much of everything, but the focal point of their insessant nagging is around Christmas, which turns me off to the holiday even more. Not that I'm particularly fond of government-endorsed or traditional holidays as it is, but that's another show. |
