Christmas, and the fact that so many people get so much enjoyment from

Not only that.... it really ****es off a lot of Christians, because
they know it is celebrating a Pagan holiday with a ton of Pagan
trappings.... and they will do anything to prevent being guilty of
idolatrous worship....

I doubt there are any Christians who are ****ed off that other
Christians get joy from the Christmas season.

... there are a lot of Christian children around here that will get no
presents and wouldn't want them, if they did.... *there are Christian
homes with absolute prohibitions against anything associated with
Christmas.... no trees, no 12 days, no Yule log, no parades, no
exchanging gifts, no ornaments, no mistletoe, no green, no red, no
presents, no Santa, and *certainly* no eggnog. *And you'll NEVER catch
THEM saying, "Merry Christmas."

You present this site as proof that so many Christians abhor
Christmas? Do you believe it does so?

Don't be so quick to paint all Christians with that broad brush.

With what broad brush did I paint Christians? I've no problem with the
pagan aspects of Christmas ****ing off some Christians. Just remember
that the spiritual/religious aspects of Christmas are a violation of
everything that is politically correct. Maybe the fact that a Nativity
Scene commemorating the birth of Jesus is illegal to display in most
places is ****ing some of them off also.

Each to his own. If you get no joy from the Christmas season, and that
makes you happy, then more power to you.

I'd love to meet a kid that wouldn't want a present if given to
him/her.
