Christ wasn't born on the 25th of December. It was a Catholic appropriation of the birth date of a pagan god. Who knows which time of the year Jesus was born but it wasn't Dec 25. Considering how cold it gets in Israel at this time of the year, I highly doubt a manger birth and swaddling clothes would effectively guard against the chill.

I became indifferent to christmas (the gfy spellcheck thingy says I should capitalize the "c" in christmas, fuck that too) when I stopped believing in god, santa clause, the easter bunny and all other irrational things.
Since then when people ask me what I'm doing for christmas and I tell them "nothing" most of them get this "oh you poor guy" attitude, and when I try to explain that it's my choice to not participate a lot of them seem to think that I'm just covering up a sad and empty life and make it their mission that I have a "good christmas".
They just don't get it, and I've had to be an asshole about it a few times in the past just to get these people to stop trying to convert me into a "normal christmas person" like themselves, it's like they think I'm sick and they have to cure me. And then some get all hurt because I won't put my beliefs aside to accept theirs.
I've lost count of how many times I've been called a Grinch in my lifetime, I end up explaining that I'm not a Grinch, the Grinch wanted to steal christmas, I've come to the point where I just want it to fucking die.
Not everyone is "a christmas person" and the more you try to turn somebody into one the more they will resent it.

end of rant
fuck christmas
great rant.... i'm definitely not a christmas person either.
so you *fuck xmas* folks, you still accept the gifts family gives you or donate them to someone needy or what? do you buy gifts for your loved ones? do you just fake it during the family get-together or do you maintain your *fuck xmas* angle?

i paste on a big fake smile and as they say, grin & bear it.
Now i have a 3 year old daughter and a 4 month old son. Those 2 make the holidays fun again. I am a totally different person with holidays now because of my children. But i definitely do understand the "fuck Xmas' mentality.
Marry Xmas to you all that love Xmas and "fuck Xmas" to all of you that dont.
Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

Not sure how that addresses his comment. George Washington and Abraham Lincoln were not born on the third Monday of February either.

Most of the people who know me well understand and (eventually) respect my wishes, but there are two other groups of people I end up having to deal with every year.
The Casual Giver
These are co-workers, friends of friends etc. that maybe haven't gotten the message yet that I've opted-out of christmas, these are often people who's feelings I don't want to hurt so I do like Amp says:

It makes me feel like a total hypocrite to take their gifts but it keeps the peace, I always vow to either convince those people that I'm serious before next christmas or avoid them altogether in the future so I don't end up resenting them for making me feel like a hypocrite.
The other group I have dubbed "The Xmas Nazis"
These are the people who live for this time of year, their electric bill doubles for the month of December because of all the lights, these are the people who buy the red and green christmas sweaters and wear them proudly.
These are the people who get an unholy glint in their eye when I tell them "no thanks, I don't do christmas."
They seem to take that as a personal affront and decide to punish me for my heresy.
With a malicious glee they try to rub everything christmas in my face, as if to say "Don't like Christmas huh? well you will when I get through with you!"
These are the people I sometimes have to get rude with.
I didn't set out to hate christmas I just don't want to play, but the more people try to make into a "christmas person" against my wishes the more I resent them and it.

it is very annoying how disruptive the holidays can be, it is hard to avoid and it is a big relief when it is finally over with
