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

I knew it "later on", I meant. I said that we stopped celebrating Christmas and, AFTER that, we knew its origins. I didn't say that I just found it out NOW.

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

Of course (as other things about this holidays), but despite what you say, some people are in denial, even a lot of Christians.

That's a good point.

I love Christmas awesome to spend time with the family, especially when i barely see them nowdays, and the food its incredible ! 

 

only time i dislike it is when im watching TV and all those companies are trying to force their Crap on me.

Oh and i absolutely hate christmas songs

Oh, and as for celebrating Jesus' birthday on Christmas. I really have no issue with it.

It's like when you adopt a cat. You don't know when it was born, or even how old it is, but you pick a date that's convenient for you to celebrate.

That analogy actually kinda holds the whole way round... since it seems pretty likely all around actually considering the BC/AD thing isn't exactly perfect.

 

I'm surprised nobody attacks the whole BC/AD thing.  Do other parts of the world have different calenders or are they just fine with the religious names.

Edit: Nevermind they changed AD to Common Era.  Wierd that Before Christ is fine though.

From a Christian point of view, I believe that God isn't pleased when people celebrate something that is not commanded in the Bible IF that celebration is against Christian principles. Christmas is based on pagan traditions that still preserve their symbology within the supposedly Christian celebration.


I mean, God doesn't command us to celebrate our birthdays, but I celebrate birthdays because birthdays are (usually) neutral, Christmas isn't.

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...

Funny thing, we don't celebrate it for the exact same reason you don't!

I like getting presents though....
