A little bit, yeah, but I try to remember what the other part of the Christmas spirit is about. The spirit of giving without thinking about receiving.

Not nearly as hypocritical as those who call themselves Christians, yet hate anyone who isn't like them.

You can celebrate the spirit of generosity and goodwill. That wouldn't make you a hypocrit. Unless you were a Scrooge in daily life.

Don't you think it's funny that people are whipped into a fervor about christmas being jesus's birthday when he wasn't even born on dec 25? Or the fact that the modern christmas celebration kind of goes against everything jesus, as the original social worker, ever taught?

And seriously, the tree? Totally stolen from the pagans.

The entire holiday was "borrowed" from pagan traditions in order to make it easier to convert them to Christianity. They took all the traditions and practices from the pagan holidays that occurred around that time, and just said "hey everybody, it's Jesus' birthday!"

So no, it's not hypocritical. Perhaps if they call it "Christmas" it is a tad, but really it's not.

This is my signature. Look upon it and tremble at its awesome might.

Who says I'm celebrating Xmas? I'm celebrating the Festival of Pretty Colored Lights and Goodwill.

Don't you think it's hypocritical...

that people who don't believe in the Sun God worship on his holy day?


Both your question, BionicBatman, and mine make about the same amount of sense.
