[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, Christmas isn't about Christ, it is about turning a pagan holiday into something agreeable to a fairly young and dogmatic religion that had to appease the common folk by allowing them to continue their traditions in a way that would not undercut said religion.[/quote]

+1.   Exactly. [/quote]

People on DCUM like to spout this pagan history as if  is they are so cool and knowledgeable, and no Christian is aware of the origins of the celebration. Grow up. People can be fully aware of the origins of the celebration, and yet still be actually celebrating what the holiday has developed into.. I would guess that most folks in the DMV who celebrate Thanksgiving did not actually grown any crops this summer that they need to survive the winter on. [b]They were celebrating what the holiday has become, not how it started.[/b][/quote]

Yes, and the "keep the Christ in Christmas" die-hards need to recognize this, too. You can't cognizant that holidays evolve and then be upset when they evolve into something that you don't like. "Christmas" has become a massive, two-month long extravaganza that means different things to different people. I considered myself an atheist, but hell yeah we do Christmas at our house. Light on the baby Jesus and heavy on the gifts, decorations, and parties. The "real" way to celebrate is whatever you want.[/quote]
