I didn't celebrate Christmas this year. Not sure if I celebrated last year. Don't care. I don't celebrate Christmas. This year I made a total mockery of it.
I did my usual Hanukkah candle ceremony for the first few nights. Then I blew that off. I stuck with the Festivus theme instead. I even made a Festivus Card from one I found of George Costanza. I emailed it to most my friends and the one relative who sent me a Christmas card. I wonder how that went over with my religious family? I really don't care.
Christmas means nothing to me. It was a pagan holiday that the early Christian church took for itself. The actual day has nothing to do with the birth of Christ. It has everything to do with the winter solstice and sun worship.
I laugh at my friends who think it's the birth of Christ. It couldn't be further than the truth. Let them believe what they want. I want no part of the false holiday any more.
How I acknowledge God and Christ is my business and I definitely don't think Christmas is the way to do it. I think I would respect Christians more if churches and Christians could explain the true origins of Christmas. The church won't tell the truth. Big surprise there.
So I hope everybody had a Happy Festivus For the Rest of Us!
