#1 of 25

Christmas is nothing more than the imaginary day of celebration for Christ's birth. Perhaps his birth on the 25th isn't imaginary, but the celebration part is. It's not supposed to be there. I don't believe in religion, unless you consider not believing in one to be a religion itself (then I'd have to not believe in any current religions that are heavily worshipped), and I don't think this holiday was designed for gift giving, caroling, ice skating, and other togetherness-like events to celebrate the day.
But what can I do about it? Nothing much. Unless I consider my own anti-movement to be a formidable force in changing the holiday. Hey, I don't mind the presents and such, but it is rather silly to see the subliminal influence at work.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
