bah humbug, or so you think.

i don't like christmas at all, but it's not because i'm ungrateful. i love spending time with my friends and family more than anything. but the whole "meaning of christmas" and what the entire country hypes it up to be is a bit fucking ridiculous.

christmas is this ridiculous media and consumer fueled holiday made up so that we'll spend millions of dollars on useless shit when we could be doing something to better improve the world or the lives of people in need. so many people claim this day is to "celebrate the birth of jesus christ", but those are the same people teaching their children that a big fat white man with a beard comes down their chimney to bring them presents? for what reason? none of it makes any sense.

i see these same people "living this wonderful christian life" but by noon on christmas day there are pictures on facebook of them opening up massive amounts of presents given to them by their oh-so-holy parents. so santa or jesus? or your own selfish need to be surrounded by the most up-to-date gifts and technology?
