the anti-christmas thread
 
I keep getting christmas cards addressed to to other people.
Perhaps the postman is dyslexic, its only the order of the numbers.
I dont know if I should find them and give them this shit, or just destroy them as an act of kindness.

ni'k 12.21.2009 04:53 PM

send reply cards covered in blood threatening retribution from the church of satan

knox 12.21.2009 04:55 PM

at my work's recent $15 gift exchange, I recieved ONE 40 oz bottle of Old English Malt Liquor.

never again!

knox 12.21.2009 05:05 PM

and as for gifts, i should get them when i deserve them or randomly when people feel like being nice to me. if you feel obliged to, it doesnt mean anything then does it.

Hang out with the family.

Also 'no' to the Jesus stuff.

pbradley 12.21.2009 06:42 PM

I'll be going to Christmas mass.

I haven't visited my parents' church in so long and I should make appearances as a social thing. I hope the sermon isn't shit but it probably it will be.

terrible. I'm nice enough that I feel bad for guy who bought it, but too cheap to not feel ripped off.

I doubt that he has a lot of money and had it been a present "from" him instead of "the cheapest crap he could buy and still receive a gift", I would have been politely thankful.

instead, I say (loudly, because I'm loud) "OH GREAT. a 40 of Ol' E. I doubt that my wife will even drink this crap". he waved and said that he "hoped I enjoyed it".

ffs fml etc

when's Kwanzaa? I'm regifting.

Jesus wasn't born in December. The church stole the Winter Solstice from pagans to get them to convert to Christianity.

I'm not saying Jesus didn't exist or that he didn't do good things, but I don't believe he was the "savior" of mankind, Mary had him without Joseph fucking her, or that he could've been born in a barn in the winter.

The Bible was written by people with little to no understanding of the world around them, and has been re-written so many times to fit the winners' idea of history that it cannot be relied upon as a source of information.

ni'k 12.21.2009 07:23 PM

i wish christmas on my enemies, the food the family and the television.

They understood how to write persuasive and pervasive literature. And the Bible's not been massively revised in getting on 1200 years. It has, however, been pared down considerably.

'Pagans' don't exist. It was a by-word for non-Christians, same as barbarians in ancient Greek. The recent (20th-century) reconstruction of 'paganism' shouldn't be confused with the older Christian use of the word 'pagan' which referred to possibly hundreds or thousands of folk religions (including Zoroastrianism, Mithraism and Valentinian gnosticism).

The 'Winter solstice' consolidation is right, but it's not clear if it was a religious festival (like Ramadan) or just a festival (like the Saturnalia).

Sorry, just wanted to pick holes unnecessarily. I'm going back to my hole.

jon boy 12.21.2009 07:40 PM

Glice 12.21.2009 07:42 PM

it wasn't just the solstices.

Heyzeus is an amalgamation of numerous Deities & Demigods.

TSR taught me that.

merry christmas / fuck you haterz

cagedbird 12.21.2009 08:15 PM

i am trying to avoid the xmas hype this year. it can be numbing. it's just another holiday. the end of the year hype is also over-rated. not that it doesn't have it's place. it's just too distracting from reality for me this year.

Funny, because I would expect you to think of A Christmas Carol as liberal nonsense.

automatic bzooty 12.21.2009 10:10 PM

i'm going to my dad's place, make some food together, eat, get money because he can't think of stuff i'd want/need.

we usually have a 'real' christmas on new year's eve, with my mother, just hanging around the house all afernoon, cooking something nice, giving each other a load of small or silly presents just for fun.. and then everyone goes their separate ways to celebrate new year.

knox 12.22.2009 07:52 AM

its going to be awful.

knox 12.22.2009 09:03 AM

floatingslowly 12.22.2009 09:30 AM

verme (prevaricator) 12.22.2009 09:32 AM

knox 12.22.2009 09:34 AM

knox 12.22.2009 09:34 AM

floatingslowly 12.22.2009 09:40 AM

my wife has two cousins that fucked.

now, one goes by the name of "Strange" and the other is a world-champion medicine-ball lifter. I'll let you guess which one's female.

crap, what did they do to her?

floatingslowly 12.22.2009 10:09 AM

I dunno. my cousin's are pretty hot though. do you think I could get them to leave California? I'm pretty sure cousin-fucking's frowned upon there.

Both? (that was a trick question, right?)


The only thing I dislike about Christmas are the godawful annoying songs you always have to endure in the shops, while on hold on the telephone, etc... Fuck you Paul Mccartney, Band Aid and Wham!

Also, if I were king then Christmas would always be held on Thursdays and Fridays instead of 25+26th December. Next year it's on Saturday and Sunday! Ugh.
