For me, Christmas is a time where I cash in my chips for the year. What was good, what was bad. What I'll keep, what I'll toss. Who I love, and who I want to understand better.
I dream of world peace, a place where we all come together.
Plus I honor Saint Edacious many times during the holiday.
I sing songs. I buy and make stuff for people that I think they'll really enjoy. I make fussy little wrappings, and creative little cards. I make ornaments. The house smells like pine and cinnamon. The tree is holy in the house, smelling of the outdoor air and winter, twinkling with the lights and decorations accumulated as treasured memories over the years. I see and contact all the members of my family with wishes for love and joy.
I celebrate.
You're considered 'the Jew' here, whether you like it or not. I'll try to be honest and blunt, and sometimes the two aren't interchangeable (I will not become a mere memory?)
The United States of America has committed many sins since its inception,
like every other nation. Sins which today would be considered absolutely intolerable, although the sins of this single nation are foistered on its children. I do not consider the forefathers of this land to be my own forefathers, yet I consider their vision to be sympathetic to the plight of people like my own forefathers. My forefathers lived meager lives as European serfs, living in nothing better than the caste system created in India towards the dark-skinned ones they deemed to be unclean, namely those born to work and who lived to die.
I was born and raised in the United States. My immediate family was not. My best friends here were not white and mainly non-Christian - yet we all strove to assimilate to the land of opportunities which lay before us.
I can weave a long yarn here but I'll end it like this: every person I knew would celebrate Christmas if only for its virtues and not for its religious references. We would all huddle around a tree and take advantage of the goodwill every person would have towards each other, Christian or not.
So when I see some cunt, or some massive corporation, eliminating Christmas from the list in its agenda, I'm a bit concerned, if not offended, because these cunts are supposed to represent the will of the majority, which is what democracy is all about.
I think this is a reasonable concern. If we can establish the USA as a predomently X-mas celebrating nation then we shouldn't permit some people to defy it simply to go against some cultural norm. The majority has spoken, IMO, and the majority doesn't care for this 'happy holidays' nonsense and would rather see a 'MERRY CHRISTMAS' message. Wasn't it last year that this stuff reared its head? How quickly these people adapt.
