Yeah, and to spend time with my family and eat nice food and drink free of charge. Also, to give presents, it's something I take great delight in.

Well, I'm not Christian, so that has no bearing on my Christmas.

Christmas isn't your birthday, it's Jesus'es.So why is everyone always panicking to get eachother gifts?
It's his day, not your's.
Shouldn't be.. oh I don't know.. giving donations to a church or offering some sortof matireal sacrament to Christ? I know the latter sounds kindof pagany but like i said, it's his birthday, not your's.
Christmas is a great example of the differance between capitalism and coporatism.
Intentionaly companies try to stay religiously neutral as not to offend anyone.
But Christmas is SUPPOSE TO BE ABOUT CHRIST.
So bassicaly they're saying "we don't give a **** about the religion or what this holiday even means to you, but buy our crap".I think the most Christian thing anyone could do is not buy a God-damn thing.
No wait, that'd be the Satanist thing to do, my bad.The Christian thing to do would be buy crap for homeless kids or some lame shit like that. I don't know. I hate the homeless. But Christ was big on that lovey-dovey crap. So sense you're Christian you might want to follow his example.
That's why i'm a Satanist. All Satan ever did was showup every other chaptor, troll for a little while, and when any philosopher or God asked why "i did it for the lulz"
make my christmas special and become an hero.

But I bet I do alot more research then you. And America's pretty high on my list of disgust.
First it's the asians
Then it's Australlia
Then it's this hellhole
Then it's the Euros
Christmas is different for various people, for various reason.
Even for none christians.
Basically its a good laugh, you get presents, have time off work, you get to eat loads of unhealthy food, you get can get drunk without being labeled a yob.
So stop ranting, enjoy YOUR Xmas and let others enjoy thiers,
