I can't understand why some people find it so unbelievable that one would want to celebrate nature, like a solstice or equinox, over their bs holidays. We are nature, it's really a shame that it's not socially acceptable to embrace and celebrate it.
I find it amusing that some parents believe that they are teaching their children the "true meaning" of christmas and/or that it's not all about gifts, yet they still buy gifts by the trunk load.
It is particularly amusing when it's ethnic parents and/or christian parents... if you were really teaching your children about christmas you would be teaching them why you don't celebrate it.
My biggest vexation with parents during the holiday season is the whole santa thing. It's increasingly irritating when it's ethnic parents. I don't see how you could teach your child (what you have been made to think is) the true meaning of christmas and at the same time give a fictional character credit for gifts you purchased for your child. I have to keep from laughing at the extent some parents will go to to convince their children that a jolly fat old white guy came into their home and left the presents instead of explaining to the children that as parent's they work hard to provide and also want to make the children happy so they buy them the christmas presents (or something along those lines).
Also, regarding santa. some christmas songs make some disturbing things about santa seem okay... such as "he sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake..."
Some parents even go as far as to remind their children throughout the year that santa is "always watching", reminiscent of what people believe of god.
Concluding my christmas thoughts, I'd just like to remind you that December 25th is not Jesus birthday, nor is it a belated celebration of such. Open a new tab and search "Nimrod".
