I. Don't. CARE.WHAT. YOU. CALL. IT!!
Advertisements [?]
Okay; I've had it. I am a lapsed Methodist current pagan (duh). You know what? MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY WINTER SOLSTICE! I have no problem acknowledging the birth of one of the most enlightened men to ever walk this planet; even if the men who followed him subverted a pagan celebration to do so.(and even if it wasn't even his real birthday) The holiday has turned into one encouraging peace and family moments;and produced some of the most wonderful music ever created. I had storybook christmases growing up; and I would not deny that to my child because of a stupid argument over a NAME. I agree this battle needs to be fought; but not with THIS holiday. It is just a symptom of a larger problem; and will be resolved naturally in time.

LET. IT. GO.

This is obviously not aimed at most here; just a general rant. this crap is so so SO SO STUPID!!!!!!!!!! Bill Osama bin Reilly; LEAVE IT BE and let us enjoy this holiday!!!!SHEESH!!
:rant:
