now for Santa i was 4 or 5 when i saw my uncle booting toys in our stockings and under the tree... i knew then there was no santa clause. so, no. i am not afraid.

I was not criticizing you; I was agreeing with you. Plus it's the holiday season, so a Santa Clause references was appropriate.

we dont celebrate holidays in my family once at a certain age..... no lights, no toys... but the cold hard honest truth about it.

Sorry about that. My family, when I was young, thought Christmas was of Satan, so we didn't celebrate it ether. Now that I'm a Buddhist, and I celebrate any holiday I want too.

What does that even mean? One Christmas you just wake the kids up in the middle of the night with all the lights off and tell them that the world is harsh and unforgiving?

well, when i found my uncle stuffing our stockings and gifts in the tree,... my mom told me the truth. i was like 4 or 5.

we told my brother when he was about 8 or 10.

we dont do Christmas or thanksgiving and commercial holidays that has nothing to do with the spirit of its intend.

the only gifts we get and holiday meals was so we didnt feel left out from the other kids in school..

we get our toys and clothes on holidays b/c other kids had them not b/c we earned them or believed in santa claus and the holiday spirit.

i was about 12 when i stop caring about showing off my christmas gifts in school and even stop wanting them

That's not really a cold truth unless it was in the form of "we're sick of caring about you now so no more presents".

Then I think you're missing what's so great about the holidays. Sure, toys are nice for the kids, but a lot of families are spread out all over the country and Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to get everyone together.

Also the music, I love Christmas music.

If you had to "earn" Christmas presents I'd say you're parents didn't really get the holiday.

Well, are you not afraid that Santa Clause will put you on his naughty list? 😂

When I was four I tried to have an imaginary friend, like some of the other kids. The problem was that I couldn't convince myself I was ****ing nuts!

we wait for Whirly

sock troll?

Cold hard truth: there is no santa claus, celebrating the coming of Columbus is not something to celebrate any more then you celebrate the holocaust and Hitler's Birth.

Santa has a naughty list every child knows that and parents warn their kids to behave or else... lil kids believe that sh#$ and when you have an uncontrollable brat you dont reward them.

i dont miss the point of the holiday i understand its a time for family which is cool... we dont buy presents for each other or put up lights for it and give our money to corporations.

ppl shouldnt need to pick a specific date to be nice and caring...

just like other religions dont need to celebrate dates where one side of a racial group profited at the expense of another.

I didn't know what that was, back then.

Why are you interested in sock trolls?

Lets see, you have only posted 144. hmmmm

should people expect Meso/Amerinidians to celebrate Thanksgiving b/c it's a holiday?

Christmas and Christian Holidays?

View Pocahontas and Sacagawea as a hero?

maybe next America can celebrate the birth of Benedict Arnold.

If someone said drinking beer and having a good time is how they worship god, would that stop you?

God term being subjective and abstract sure b/c :

(A) alcoholic or more precisely a connoisseur of fine wines and spirits.

(B) a lil selfish and taking advantage of my host.

(C) dont want to be rude or offend

(D) not being asked to change

now if a Skin Head white supremacist asked me to go hang with him at a good old fashion cross burning and do some blow, drink and party at a lake... celebrating their good old christian values with mention of Hitler as a prophet/messiah. the answer is no.

both celebrating Gawd in their own way.

Now imagine a white european american asking a Meso/Amerindian to come over and celebrate their holiday of their ppl exterminating and suppressing yours.
red_indian = sombrero2
i be kinda annoyed at the very least.

Take the good, and leave that bad, is my point. I'm not a Christian, but I enjoy Christmas.
