It really is weird- especially since the holiday has become such a ~cultural thing~. Almost all of my friends from school, including atheists ("it's not a religious thing!"), are serious Christmas fans. It's bizarre. Oh well, I look forward to sushi.
Yeah, it's just so odd. It's so clearly NOT just a cultural thing, especially considering how eager people are to make Hannukah a Christmas alternative (when it's definitely not). Oh well. At least we don't live in the UK. As bad as it is here, it's 800 million times worse there because they don't have Thanksgiving.

Yeah. I mean, I was going to say "I can imagine" but I don't really have any non-oppressor cultural heritage, so I can't, really. Hell, I'm really conflicted about Christianity myself and I was raised with it...
I'll admit, I had a pretty strong prejudice against Christianity before I went to college. I had some deeply unpleasant encounters with Evangelicals and it left me with a pretty significant mistrust of self professed "Christians." Then, I accidentally went to a Jesuit university and I learned that moderate, sensible, liberal Christians exist. But I do have some lingering mistrust, I'm not going to lie.

On Halloween I was in Sears and there were trees and decorations. I left in a rage.
CAN WE JUST HAVE ONE FUCKING SECULAR HOLIDAY? PLEASE???

I'll try to post anything I have on my blog as "christmas" though I don't really see myself posting alot of stuff on that topic. Maybe some light displays? *shrug* ^_^
You're both lovely. Thank you.
