Some people just choose to be miserable. I'd say I feel sorry for them, but I don't. Life is too short to be pissed off all the time.
We have a Jehova Witness who works here so I am able to get a different view of the Christmas season every year and more and more I hate what it's become. However I love Christmas and I've found ways to stay out of the shopping madness. When I do find myself stuck inside the chaos I've found it best to just point and laugh at people.... works well for my mental state....Silver said:Or does anyone else want to die in their sleep.

Xmas has been used for hundreds of years in religious writing, where the X represents a Greek chi, the first letter of , Christ. In this use it is parallel to other forms like Xtian, Christian. But people unaware of the Greek origin of this X often mistakenly interpret Xmas as an informal shortening pronounced (ksms). Many therefore frown upon the term Xmas because it seems to them a commercial convenience that omits Christ from Christmas.Ciaran said:
That's the only way to deal with X-Mas shopping.
I love X-mas however. Lot's of fun. Some people get miserable... oh well.. more x-mas cheer for me!
I'll buy a beer to the first person who can give the origin of the abbreviation "X-Mas". Hint: It's NOT an attempt to take the Christ out of Christmas.

Shopping, nothing makes me hate corporate America and consumerism more than a shopping mall.
Wanna give me a stocking stuffer? Make sure its useful, like whiskey, so I can drink myself into a coma full of Holiday cheer..
I let my family know I love them in more real ways than shopping for knick knacks.Clark Kent said:Hey, I'm the biggest damn aethiest ya ever met, but I like christmass... If you have family you love but dont get to see often. If you have family you know will not be around forever but you wish they would. If you want to take a chance to show someone that they are in your thoughts or your heart, in a world that doesnt give us many of those chances, then my man, THAT IS WHAT CHRISTMASS IS FOR! If ya dont have people you love, dont have folks that are gonna pass away the next 10 years, then dont worry. Its about giving because you want to, not because you feel you have to.
More appropriate woudl be: "mas"Ciaran said:Hint: It's NOT an attempt to take the Christ out of Christmas.
