Merry CHRIST-mas?

scream me a song asked:


what’s with all the christmas bashing. CHRISTmas is about CHRIST, not about presents. NOBODY MAKES U CELEBRATE CHRISTIAN HOLIDAYS!
Why is every other religion allowed to have their holidays .nobody says, hey let’s change hannakuh, cuz i’m not jewish. let’s call it ‘the holiday’ or ‘gift-ikuh’. how come Christians are the only religions that are discriminated against? everyone else is protected in America, even the Muslims??? why is it that in public schools, muslims are allowed to worship, but for Christians it is strictly forbidden?
Have people forgotten the fact that America was founded by Christians? on Christian morals and beliefs. That the whole reason the pilgrims came to America was so that they would be free to worship God?
really, because last time i checked it WAS about Christ, at least up until a few years ago when suddenly it is ‘politically incorrect’…. hence the name CHRIST-mas
i’m not saying it’s bad to give presents on Christmas, i quite enjoy the tradition myself, but that’s not ALL that Christmas is about. that’s what everyone wants to make it about, ONLY presents. the post that got me onto all of this was actually suggesting that we rename it merry giftmas.

so pleas don’t think i’m saying presents and joy on christmas is bad, i’m just saying there’s more to it than that

I’m Catholic, my boyfriend’s Jewish. Holiday gift?

Britta G asked:


Okay, so this Thanksgiving weekend will be my 3 month anniversary with my college boyfriend. I’m Catholic, and my boyfriend’s Jewish. If he were Christian, I’d feel obligated to get him a Christmas gift, but that’s not the case. I don’t celebrate Hanukkah, but should I get him something for the holidays? We haven’t discussed anything, but I would appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thanks a bunch!
