family, and fairy lights!

Yep. And I'm a Protestant Christian.

Some years ago we still celebrated Christmas, somehow, but we decided to break with the tradition because the Bible doesn't command its celebration and we didn't like the scent of hypochrisy and consumerism that impregnates the air during those days (I know, not everybody behaves like this, but...), which has nothing to do with Christianity.

We later discovered the pagan origins of Christmas. This link explains it in detail (I use it here only to show you the topic, but that doesn't mean that I agree with all the content of the site, which I just found).

On a "funny" note, non-Christians usually respect my opinion on this, while other Christians or "Christians" are shocked, like "Oh, my God! You don't celebrate Christmasssssss! These are times to remember...".

What's your opinion?

The only thing I say these days is "Happy holidays" or "Happy new year", so... HAPPY HOLIDAYS to everyone.

You just found out that it was a Pagan holiday?

Yeah, lol. Check out the other holidays too. Heck, even easter is a derivitive of the spring solstice and the rebirth of life from death when you get down to the nitty gritty of things.

You just later figured that out? I thought it was a well known thing.

I mean, just reading the bible makes it apparent the nativity didn't happen in December.

I love Christmas. Not for all shopping and presents (which are nice) but I try to use for the traditional sense. Even it isn't the technical birthday of Jesus. It's just the celebration and take it as that.

Hm...

Conclusion: are you going to create a thread about drunk people in Christmas or not?

i've already made a drunk people thread :D

That's why I replied that way, but I asked about a thread that could explain the "drunkenness phenomenon" in Christmas, you know, meals, parties and so on... from a scientific/sociological and statistical point of view, of course.

well, i can only speak for the scots but it goes something like this...

1. big family get-together. = drink.
2. christmas pudding = brandy.
3. 3-feet snow, very chilly outside. = warming glass of whisky.
4. big meal. = drink.
5. days off work. = drink.
6. general happy atmosphere and mega jollility. = drink.

so now you know.

Marry me...

EDIT:  Oh dang... second time in one thread... something must be wrong with my keyboard or something, I swear...

Lol? Where's the funny thing? o_O

I created a thread about Christmas and that doesn't mean that I celebrate other holidays or that I don't know their pagan origins.
