Christmas...Do You Have to Take More Months for Yourself?

Can't you just stay in December?

"After the Superbowl I was suprised that Santa just didn't land and we started Christmas again!"
-Lewis Black


With these inspiring words from the great comedian Lewis Black...I realize that Christmas has been slowly devouring the calendar...Christmas apparently begins around Halloween now and Thanksgiving is Christmas Part I. It used to be in December, but apparently this beast wasn't happy with it and took more and more of the days leading up and now instead of the "12 Days of Christmas" it's the "55 Days of Christmas" Don't get me wrong, it's an awesome holiday but there is a time for everything and this needs to stop. No other holiday has eaten away this much time, but when Christmas comes around it sends up a flare around Halloween and then we start the sales and shopping maddness before its even necessary. Why does this happen? I mean Christmas is only a Christian holiday, surely there can't be that many people that excited 2 months beforehand.

Well, what can ya do? I guess we'll have to suffer Christmas sales, New Years sales, winter sales, etc. for the next 2 months so....brace yourselves and don't get fooled by the advertisements...they're the DEVIL!!!! Heh...

Hmm...third article in 2hrs...that's a record for me....

Even as a Christian (not really hardcore, though), I don't get stoked about Christmas until about 3 days before school's out.

Here's to the uber-commercialization of Thanksgiving!

I guess you can say that Christmas is a Christian holiday - but Xmas isn't

Technically Jesus was born in August, and Christmas started with the Pagan celebration for the Winter soltice.

Santa isn't Christian - I know Christian parents who don't let there kids have Santa - these are 3 and 1 year old children.

Christmas is about celebrating and peace and happiness and joy and doesn't everyone deserve that?

(and it's about toy companies making LOTS of money from parents regardless of their religious belief)

It may have been one but now? It's nothing but fun and greed of corporations. I agree that 54 days of Xmas is just too much. I start shopping early but no decorations till Dec month comes around.

I'm already excited about Christmas. i love the holiday b/c we get to cellibrate the birth of Jesus and you get to spent time with family and friends. Of course I do like the gifts. But I think it's more important to cellebrate b/c of Jesus not just to get things.

cellibrate


Cellibrate would make a good word for being happy about not getting any sex . . .
