How is it not fake?
"Oh! Let's all be giving and celebrate Christ's birth!"
Hold on.... Christ wasn't actually born in December!?
Proof.
More Proof. (this one was written by bible-thumpers)
So, why celebrate it in December?
Because the Christians in Rome were so used to celebrating
Saturnalia.
Funny thing is, Christ didn't want us to celebrate his birth. He wanted us to celebrate his death. Which, in my eyes means MUCH more.
Why only be giving ONE day out of the year? What happens the other 364 days? We tell our fellow man to take a hike? What a giant load of crap.
No. This holiday is a farce. It was started on a lie and is now perpetuated by retailers. Which, by the way, religion and advertising have one thing in common: they're both full of shit.
It's incredibly sad that even
our economy is dependent on this nonsensical tradition.
I'm afraid to watch TV around this time of year. Those sappy Christmas commercials make me want to shove white-hot needles into my eyes. And, no, I don't want to watch Miracle on 34th Street, A Christmas Story, Charlie Brown's Christmas, The Muppet Christmas Carol, or Home Alone for the 387th time.
And that MUSIC(!?) - if you can even call it that. Why the fuck do those songs have to be so stupid? Those songs all talk about being cold. I hate the winter time. Tell me who takes vacations to Antarctica? Nobody. Know why? BECAUSE IT'S FREEZING FUCKING COLD. So, you know what I listen to around this time of year? Reggae. It was written by tropical islanders smoking weed in the sun. How much warmer can you get?
There are only three holidays I celebrate during the year. Independence Day (because I'm an American goddammit) , my birthday (best day of the year), and New Years (one of the greatest party times of the year).
I've recently adopted celebrating Carnival. Know why? Because it revels in sinning. Instead of this pious bullshit of self-sacrifice and kindness to your fellow man. Fuck you. I ain't sacrificing myself for assholes, and I ain't giving them shit.
I'll say it again... Bah Humbug!
