you can't have it both ways! Options

is it fair that non-christians celebrate christmas with presents and christmas trees? i can't stand it when people openly say how they hate religion and christianity, then come christmas time, they brag about their christmas presents. that goes for easter too. people openly reject jesus christ's resurrection but they celebrate easter. and to add insult to injury, they completely change the meaning by having egghunts and bunnies.

-edit- uh yeah. you can't have it both ways! either become a christian and partake in our holidays, or stay an atheist/agnostic and don't celebrate our holidays, and don't change our holidays either!

Jeez.

Goodness.

There's no reason for people to think you're a snob. Also, there is certainly no reason to be made fun of if you refer to Christmas as the winter holidays.

Hmm, there's no reason to make fun of it, you're right. But I don't know what side of town you're living in, because try to walk into.. the "funkier" side of town and talk to those people about the "winter holidays". I'll bet you'd give them a good laugh.

If my 10 year old (imagine with me) want to relate Santa to Christmas, I'm not going to stop him/her and say "honey, you're using the wrong terminology, it's Noel, and/or winter holidays, not Christmas. That's being hypocritical and those nice, Christian folks, will think you're a bad boy because of it." Puhleeeze.

You don't have to be so bitchy about it..
I think it's a reasonable name.. The Winter Holidays..
That's not snobbish in the least. It just simply states that you don't want to call it Christmas.

And you don't have to be so selfish about it. Ever heard of "getting into the spirit of Christmas?". Where the hell's the spirit when you want the other half of the population to call it another name just because you don't like it to be called that way by other people? You're going to make a word/term into something discriminatory.

You know what?
I don't care what you call it.
Call it Christmas as much as you effing want to.Who gives a shit.. I mean, if you're going to be all bitchy about a SUGGESTION on an alternative name for Christmas.

Oh, you would definately know when I'm being "bitchy" about something, but this isn't one of my "BF" ("bitch fit"). I'm mostly being sarcastic so you would know the silliness of the whole accusation.

Never mind.
Why do I bother..
