Congrats on your 2006th birthday, and may the world celebrate it in many commercialist and materialist ways.

Has the "spirit" of Christmas been swallowed up by Hallmark? Guess it goes back to Santa vs Jesus, who rules December 25th?

Jesus was not born on Christmas; no one really knows when he was born. Christmas is based on a Pagan holiday, something about the winter solstice.

But making Jesus a birthday cake is funnier than making one for Mithras.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday dear Mithras

Happy birthday to you

The humor is just lacking.

Yeh we all know he wasn't, and most know that a lot of christian holidays are based on pagan festivals. But still, its an excuse to celebrate. Celebrate what though? The savior, or the commercial elements?

If you disregard the birth completely is it just a capitalist dream day, or do you still pick one day of the year to honor his birth?

I am completely secular but still exchange gifts and put up lights just for the traditional aspects of it

Keep it up for the kids sake. That's who christmas is really for now. Even if it is consumeristic. It's like if McDonalds had some background of traditional food. One day it will be traditional food of our culture.

I'm not Christian, but I celebrate Christmas. An arguement can be made that I am hypocritical, but one must realize that there is no more Christ in Christmas.

I agree. I hate the holiday, just because of all the bullshit anxiety my family puts itself through, but it's the best fucking day of the year before you're 12. And I'm sure the adolescents have piles of fun being brooding, angsty idiots.
