Megalomania Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I dislike how it's become purely a time for people to get presents. . . as a Christian, I feel people don't respect the fact that it's an important religious holiday enough. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoryABjerre Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 for my part is true not like commercial Christmas it's not more like before nor the hypocrisy of people, be kind and give charity just this time of year. I loved Christmas when I was little girl, we were a happy family, and celebrate Christmas but in teenager age I hated Christmas. I do not know is when I am most unhappy and loneliness, even crisis of tears. and my parents not like more Christmas and often it's family dispute. never happy at home this time . so I prefer to think of people who are like me alone and there are so much people .

I celebrate it as a time to be with your loved ones. Yeah, but like it or not Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. Not saying you have to celebrate it that way, but that's just the history of it and I respect it. But I do agree with the latter half of your post, I enjoy seeing all my family! :nice: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empily Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Ergh over the years I've realized how much I dislike Christmas mainly because my mother scares away the rest of my family members. /long story But yeah I like all the hype around it. I like seeing people happy. :awesome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i'maveryneatMonster.' Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I hate Christmas. Not because of the religious significance, I just hate the whole "Love your family and be with them" thing cos I don't love them and I hate them and still, every year I'm forced to go and pretend I love them when I don't. Yes, I hate my family, I'm a bad person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it or not almost everybody gets time off in Western countries regardless of their religion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Sarah* Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 what i really dislike about christmas time is the melancholic/nostalgic feeling that comes with it. i'm constantly fighting the blues in december, although i do like christmas time in general.

Petit Prince Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I just hate the whole "Love your family and be with them" thing cos I don't love them and I hate them and still, every year I'm forced to go and pretend I love them when I don't. Christmas kinda makes me sad. I like everything about it but I can't say the actual day is nice. I really don't get on with my dad and I only see him once a year these days and it's always awkward. I can't not see him because this would mean I couldn't see my mum and I know she'd be really disappointed it I didn't spend Christmas with the family.

Guest howyousawtheworld Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Of course I love Christmas but it's such a shame that it's been bastardized to buggery because of commercial pressures. A few christmas carols gets me right in the mood though. On the whole though it's become a very tacky tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofsorrow Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Yeah, but like it or not Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. Not saying you have to celebrate it that way, but that's just the history of it and I respect it. it's a made up date, pretty much like everything else about christianity. never cared for christmas, but since a majority off my family is christian i'm constantly drowning in it every december.

LoryABjerre Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 I think everyone's beliefs. Atheism is someone who believe in nothing believe in what he can see, it's science - maths . Agnosticism is who believes in something.,and who seeks the truth and for the Christianity when Jesus disappeared Christians research exactly what Christianity says, is after Jesus Christ not before . and what is dictated word on word on the Bible, writing by people with human character and feeling. just my beliefs. well with all religions. and there is no opening accounts dialog = because is the true religion. after called War . against the first commandment of God the most important . we can call a group as sect because it is a dictatorship of a community of people. is not something that just' themselves and God & Jesus. I still think the belief is a personal matter between God and Jesus. as beliefs and all pastors or priests or book of the Bible, etc... unable to get to the place of Jesus or God. nobody can.

LoryABjerre Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 well back to my treads. I do not like Christmas, it lacks the joy of my childhood and peace environment and to celebrate Christmas. because I think is only for children for a true family. with joy in the homes . then I'll be alone with my sister. but yes she prefers stayed with her husband, but him work .

Coldplay Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Well, I'm an atheist, but I celebrate it because the rest of my family is Christian too, but they don't really give a crap about the religious aspect of it either and we all don't care for buying or getting presents so it's a bit of a train wreck but we celebrate it every year. thanks for making unsupported assumptions. you must be christian? You seem to be asking for a fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
