:
I hate Christmas. Seriously. Too much hassle, and no one stops to think that it doesn't belong to Christians. It's actually (or was actually) a Pagan festival.
I used to like being on the receiving end, but Emily doesn't surprise me anymore. I wonder what colour socks I'll get this year?
And for future reference, things like Christmas I believe go in 'Welcomes and Birthdays'.
Or am I wrong? Moderators, come along and tell me.

... Grinch!... Just kidding.
Apparently it's the day of the sun God, Apollo, and Constantine set it as the birthday of the SON of God, but I guess they needed a day and no one realy knew.
But what's important is that what we're celebrating is not pagan, but the core of christianity, that is Jesus Christ, the only holiday I can see topping that is Easter for Chirstianity. So you don't have much of a point.
It's not our fualt what presents you get, try giving nicer ones and they'll get the point, hell, it's not about what presents at all, but the act of giving and sharing, so recieving should be the lest of your troubles. Try not worrying about what you'll get and worry about what you'll give and do, it's the small things that matter, I make an effort to give everyone I can at school a candy cane, and that's hard when everyone is so cynical, I say merry christmas to everyone I can, and try to cheer everyone up when I'm working. Singing carols is nice too.
That being said, I'm hoping for a pet this christmas, my parents want me to have a TV, but it's convient to them, and I want a present that I realy care about, and means something, no matter if it's a cheap hamster, yes I'm corny.
