December 25 is the Saturnalia festival celebrated by pagans in b.c times.
Jesus Christ was not born on this day.
The bible does not state to celebrate christmas.
Santa
Saturn
Someone else has a similar name to these two things. And he likes to give.... for a price.
I have not celebrated this godless ritual for ten years.
And I am proud to call myself a christian.

"Christmas was first made a Christian holiday by Emperor Constantine (4th century) as a Christian substitute or alternative celebration day. The Romans had a feast they celebrated called Saturnalia which lasted for seven days. During the feasting days people would exchange gifts. The feast concluded on December 25th with the celebration to Sol Invictus, which means “invincible sun god” and Mithra the ancient Persian god of light. At that time the winter solstice or shortest day of the year, was acknowledged on Deccember 25th. The Sol Invictus and Mithra were celebrated because every day after the winter solstice continues to get longer. Constantine, not wanting Christians to participate in paganism, invented Christmas to compete with a pagan holiday. Doesn’t sound very glorious, but true. And amazingly Christmas still includes the giving of gifts and feasting just like the pagans did in their worship of the Saturn and the sun.'
The trend continues today as money and good taste are sucked up the corporate vaccume to feed the coffers of bloodlines interested in more sinister motives.
It is used in direct correlation to the "financial year" concept ran by the Wall street cartels.

I am surprised that I actually know what your talking about, and agree..if theres anything in this world that has caused more destruction than the catholic church, I don't know of anything...I just celebrate it for my kids, there is no MEANING to it for us..I think the bible is an old rule book made up by insecure men,If you had never herd of the bible or GOD, I think kids would still be born knowing that murder is a bad thing...it's just an old fashion way of control, now it's MONEY..the catholic church is one of the most wealthy organization in the world..I think it's nonsense and I am a good person, I give to the bell ringers, toy's for tot's and everything else, but to some I am evil for not being brain washed..but it's not hard to believe, look at how many people still think our government is good and is looking out for us and, the media tells the truth, and obama is our savior....come one, he is a puppet with the real rulers of the world pulling his strings!!!
Have a HELL of a holiday season, I know I will..I plan on beating the piss out of some audio signals with the awesome gift from olivia_nb
