Repost from last year about this same time
Okay. You hate Christmas. We get the idea. Now would you kindly shut the fuck up and quit pissing on my parade, already? Geez. Take an Ex-Lax. From the sound of things, it'll improve your fucking mood.
Before anybody asks, NO this isn't directed at any one person. But I weary of nimrods who live by "misery is company" and insist on dragging down the moods of folks like me who DO enjoy the season.
So, in review, shut the fuck up or so help me Ghu I am going to rip your throat out and bugger you to death with the tonsil end.
(from another post, I give you this)
Christmas.
You know, I'm not by any means a stereotypical Christian. Not even close, it must be said. But I do get mightily annoyed when people don't treat it with as much respect as they would like for their religion, or lack thereof as the case may be. If you want respect, you give respect. Otherwise, kindly shut your fucking face. Hypocrisy doesn't wear well on anyone, least of all people who presumably have an intelligence quotient somewhat above that of a squashed gnat.
There is one extremely dear person whose journal shall remain nameless (because this person truly is very cool, but if they choose to react to this, it's not my place to say them nay) who had , in their journal, one of the most condescending things I've ever read. To wit, referring to Christ as "An imaginary friend". In other words, if you believe in Christ you're displaying the approximate maturity of a preschooler. Nice.
I reiterate: it's perfectly okay if you don't believe. It's perfectly okay if your religion of choice is worshipping a left handed Albanian dentist from Newark named Morty. But do *not* look down your nose at those who believe in Christ, simply because they believe in the brand that's been (arguably) number one on the metaphysical hit parade for the last couple millenia or so.
And don't come to me with "Well the Christian religion has been blahblahblahing the worshippers of blahblahblah for x number of years" (or any of the innumerable variations thereupon) argument. That's not the issue here. The issue is inherent hypocrisy. In short, knock it the hell off.

The only thing I have against Christmas is I have to keep re-stocking the Christmas Puddings at work - it's a bugger to balance those things you know *g*.
Acutally that poor attempt at humour does veil one of the things which does bother me about Christmas: the crass commercialism. I have no objections to anyone celebrating their religon (well I might object if they wanted to sacrafice 7 virgins at the next full moon. But only because no-one ever invites me to those kinds of party), providing as you've indicated they extend the same courtesy to everyone else. I do think if the neopagans (for it does always seem to be them) are going to whinge about no-one respecting their religon they could at least start by setting an example and respect everyone elses.
Now someone chuck another Christian on the fire; it's getting cold.
