Re: Troll Thread

So even god hates christmas

I loved it as a child we have 3 guys that bring gifts and who does not like getting gifts.

Now i dont like it cause i have a verry large family and thats a freeking lot of gifts to buy. And its not about the money but buying them, and wraping them then visiting everyone....

I basicly only celebrate new years usualy drunk like barrel, witha few friends and my gf. I dont use the phrase marry christmas but happy hollidays and a happy new year.

Re: Gift Giving

Presumably symbolizing the three wisemen bearing offerings for a new god?

Nope you have Grandpa cold
Santa claus
and Miklau

santa claus and miklau are from the christian side grandpa cold is just a guy that they invented so none christians are not left out but most get gifts from all 3

Re: Why December 25th?

Isn't it common knowledge that, when converting other cultures, Christians, instead of elimiating, simply adopted the local customs and doctored them up into their own?

Yea especialy when it comes to christmas just about everything in christmas is adopted from other cultures its like you put them all in a blender ran it for an hour then stamped jesuses name on it.

Re: Why December 25th?

It seems Jesus IS the reason for the season. Look around Taq..

Wll in my country there are 2 typs of christmas trees the christian kind and the nonchristian kind. The christian kind has the stall jesus was borne under it usualy made out of moss and little figurines of sheppards and sheep and a baby boy....and a star on top of the tree.
The non christian kind has something elese on top like a pointiy thing or whatever, and no stall under it.
