Annoying christmas?

is it just me or do other people find christmas is really annoying?

first of all i'd like to say i'm not a christ hater, i'm from a christian family. But seriously, i have decided this year that christmas is really really stupid. not the actual birth of christ part which is fine by me, but the corpratisation of christmas where every shop and every business suddenly becomes 'santas choice'. its just totally wrong for an important religious event to be used as a marketing tool by profiteering groups.

And i also find the ideal of 'giving and sharing' another rediculous marketing ploy. I mean we're encouraged to get into the christmas spirit, but do our friends who already earn 50 000 dollars a year need a new 20 dollar toaster? why do we even need a reason to buy presents for people, and why should they be just for people we already know? if we were truly into the 'spirit' wouldnt we be nice and caring ang give gifts all the time? its not like you really need that 50 cents for a phone call that people as you for.

christmas in the western world is corrupt, and i'd say its even close to sining, in my opinion

Nope, I love it. And this year I discovered the joys of internet shopping cos it means I get to open loads of pressies before xmas!

have you actually considered the morality of chirstmas? that the son of GOD is born and we celebrate it by spending rediculous amounts of money

People have fogotten the whole point that Christmas is supposed to be about the birth of Christ.

Then again, I dont see anyone but the Church complaining, seeing as we all get loads of free stuff.

We dont have much to celebrate so why not make the most of it when the opportunity presents itself?

He has a very good point! free pressies what more could we ever need.................... ummmmmmmmmmmm chocolate too (or is that just my girlie genes kicking in?)

nope, i like chocs too

Yay everyone should like chocolate it's good for the soul! anyone can give me chocolate for christmas and i'd be happy but then again i do have poi too............ damn hard choice chocolate or fire poi (wolfs revenge!) ummmmmm gonna have to think hard about this!

ummmmmm.....chocolate poi!

um now that would be good until we ate it or tried to set fire to it..............urgh drippy chocolate poi covered in paraffin..........not a nice combo................ sorry i get random thought patterns

What can I say? Im bored! Nothing to do.

I reckon the two of you shoudl jump on msn messenger and use that...
