Just Trying to Settle an Argument

[Haphazard]

Please list the first word that pops into your head when you think about x-mas.

And, I promise this to be my only x-mas post until it's actually upon us. I'd hate to be like the stores who put out x-mas decorations before Halloween is even over...lol.

Ok, I'll end this here...and get into the real discussion. I think y'all knew where I was going with this.

But yes. I was trying to tell my family the other day that NOBODY looks at Christmas for what it really stands for anymore. I understand that this is not groundbreaking, or anything that nobody has mentioned before. But the older I have gotten, the more it seems as though Christmas has become even more commercial than ever.

I said to my family that if you polled a bunch of people regarding what they think of when x-mas is mentioned that "Jesus" or anything religious wouldn't show up until way down the list, and they didn't believe me.

Well, I just wanted to get your opinions about this.

All I know is that Thanksgiving is the type of holiday that Christmas SHOULD be. There are no gifts, no pressure, no glitz/glamour, no marketing, etc. Just getting together with the people you love to eat like a bunch of pigs and thank all for who is responsible for this gluttony.

T-giving is where it's at. X-mas is like the equivalent of Clay Aiken or Brittany Spears to the music world.

Fucking sell-out! :D

HAHA!...BUT...We are biased...If you had asked this same question at a predominantly Christian forum, your results would have come out MUCH differently...It's kinda like asking a Christian based forum what they think about Halloween, If you asked US what we think about Halloween, you would get a much more enthusiastic response, much moreso than about Christmas...Nice tactic though;) :p



BTW...LOVED the comment about Thanksgiving...Agree 100%, as long as it's just limited to my very small immediate family;)
