    Because Christmas is as much about Christianity as my rear end. It’s a nice festivity that comes from old customs, and nobody has a problem with keeping the nicer parts of culture and customs while filtering out the crappy parts.

      Lol it’s so deeply ingrained right in front of everyone’s nose. Magic Santa, magic reindeer, magic elves and that’s just the stuff before propaganda like Rudolph and Frosty came around.

      God forbid I get a Harry Potter book on Christmas and being magical thinking into this mess.

        Old St.Nic is only dressed in red cause of coca-cola, more a capitalist celebration than a Christian one at this point
