[Locked] Jacob sends his hoes

Who the fuck is who even

Pleb doesn't know how to Adblock.

Just gonna say this: I blocked the Santa hats. Honestly, Christmas is a Christian holiday and I will not put a Santa hat on my avatar. You know why? Because I'm not a Christian.

You know Santa isn't real.

I'm not a christian and I celebrate christmas. You know why? Because it's a universal winter festival, that existed long before christ.

srsly

Winter is three months long. Christmas is one day (or if you want, the evening before it as well). Winter is a season where the temperature drops because the Earth tilts, making one hemisphere receive less sunlight (hence colder weather). Christmas is celebrating the "birth of Christ," hence Christian beliefs.

"Universal winter festival?" It's just a fucking excuse to make sales to draw in customers looking for shopping sprees.

There was a winter festival on the 25th of december long before the birth of christ. Sure there's a lot of marketing but that's not what christmas is about, christmas is a celebration of pretty much whatever you want it to be because there are so many versatile traditions that surround it, and it's a time of peace recognised almost all around the world.

Jesus wasn't born on the 25th. More like sometime between feb to april. The church made it 25th to convert pagans Like easter and all hollows eve/all saints day.

Sure there were winter festivals beforehand, but not exactly on the 25th as you claim. They merely carried through the 25th from like a month before. Still, holidays are not special days.

I think Christians adopted the 25th because they were kinda forced into it. If Jesus actually existed he would have been born sometime in the spring. Pretty sure they were celebrating Saturn, or whatever it was Romans worshiped at that time. The Jesus thing was just an excuse.

Also there's nothing wrong with a bit of "festivity".

Santa hats are intrinsically associated with the Jesus of Christ, he frequently donned them wherever he went. When he fed almost 5000 people with only 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish, the multitudes knew who to thank by his festive holiday headgear. Alas, his downfall came to be when Judas told the Roman soldiers, "Just get the guy with the Santa hat."
Moral of the story is you're an idiot (You'd be able to see this if you didn't disable the Santa hats)

While it does have religious origins the actual meaning of christmas has watered down to a universal meaning - bringing family closer together and not being a fucking grump for a single day. *hint hint*

Also, the myth that Jesus Christ was born December 25th 1A.D is well-known. The Bible doesn't actually give any birthdate for him. Instead his theoretical birthdate was worked out using arbitrary dates and events in history. They used Jesus' mention of his 30 year landmark in Luke 3:1,23 as the basis for this calculation.



In modern society it can seem like that. However if you're like me and don't buy presents for anyone simply because it's a humungous waste of money, time and effort, then what exactly is the problem? You can't change everyone's minds, you can only decide your own path in things like this.

Me, I just get my friends a gift card or money towards something they actually want or need. And I myself am satisfied with the same in return.

Sure it may have universal meanings now, but it still is technically a "holiday" (which used to be "holy day," hence religious association).



I only said the 25th is the day they observe Christ's birth. I know full well his actual birth-date is unknown.



You know what, I can do the same thing not observing Christmas. I never tried to change anyone's mind either. I just stated that I do not observe Christmas, so I don't even know why you brought that up.



I believe that while it is rational, it also indicates how distant you are from someone. I mean, don't you think it shows how close you are to someone if you knew they wanted something and actually got it for them instead of giving them money/gift cards/etc? I think it's one of the least thoughtful presents you can get someone, but it also acts as a safety net to ensure you don't fuck up with a present.

This sounds like something off of Encyclopedia Dramatica.

Christmas
Yule
Saturnalia
Solstice

Your avi looks annoyed at the fact that your hat is too big, it's amazing.
