Who gives a shit if people expect you to go out at New Years. You don't have to do shit.

I view it the same way, particularly with regard to children. You just have to have a time of year for some time off and gift giving and all that good holiday stuff. If it didn't exist, we'd have to invent it.

As for the Christian part of Christmas, it's laughable. The symbol of Christmas has become the Christmas tree, which stems from Paganism, and is expressly forbidden by Christianity.

That's what I'm saying. It's a materialistic holiday. I'm going to invent my own holiday for my future family.

I'm fully aware of what Christmas has become, and if I were a Christian it'd be a tough time of year for me (to see my religion being paid token attention). Int he best case scenario we'd call it something other than Christmas.
But hey, I'm not judging anyone or anything over what they celebrate, I understand my philosophy is uncommon and I don't think any less of anyone for having different beliefs or practices -- seriously.

Jesus is upset that you don't celebrate his birthday! I mean, that's just cold.
