I don't care if people say happy holidays. Calling it a holiday tree is just stupid. It's stupid anyway, actually. How about a big fuck you to the Christians that decided to steal perfectly good heathen holidays. I vote that everyone of every religion drink egg nog and deck the halls with Christmas cheer, or get the fuck out of the country.
Easter, on the other hand, is actually a religious holiday. Where'd you hear it's not, Mia? |
i heard on the news the other day that a group of people wanted to sue a school for changing the words of a christmas carol for a school play...things are getting out of hand, i think it all started when that guy was successful in getting the ten commandments removed from a court house...i'm not christian, but i'm not bothered by religious decoration, there's three other directions i can look.
as for the easter, like halloween and christmas it seems to have strong roots in pagan cultures and fertility festivals before founding christians made it more acceptable to their dogma.
*shrugs* i have a christmas tree,(it needs more decorations
) hide brightly colored eggs for easter, after the girls get their basket and dress up to hand out candy for halloween? it's nothing religious, but that's how i was raised...i see it as more of an american practice than anything...how are these holidays celebrated around the world?
however, when we get older and our children are out of the house, it'll be like christmas at the kranks...as much as i love the holidays, they do become a hassle.
