December 25 = Christmas
Ha! It’s that time of year again, time to [long drippy Christmas stuff edited].
One of my favorite things to do this time of year is go to a store, fight the crowds, etc just to have the guy, or gal, tell me “Happy Holidays” with their pasted on holiday smile. And I respond with a resounding “Merry Christmas to you too!”, to which most of the time I get a relieved sounding “merry Christmas”.
That aside, here’s the point of this article: December 25th is Christmas, whether you are a Christian, Jew, Atheist, Jedi, Muslim, or Martian. You don’t have to celebrate it, you don’t even have to believe it, but December 25th is Christmas. Just like December 26th is Boxing Day. Now I don’t celebrate that, and unless you live in Canada or some parts of the UK you don’t either, but that doesn’t change the fact that Dec 26th is Boxing Day and December 25th is Christmas.
So, I repeat:
December 25th is freakin Christmas!
Get over it
