Man I love Lady GaGa....fact. I had such an amazing day with Abbie! I missed her a lot, lots of fun! Ok I don't really have much else to write. I still need to finish 2 xmas gifts....ha
You know what annoys me? When people say oh let's keep Christ in Christmas!! Seriously? If you go to the orgins of Christmas it was an not holy holiday...where do they think the tree, gifts (Jesus didn't get gifts cos it was his birthday, he got them because he was a KING), singing carols, exchanging cards, and even kissing under the mistletoe, like seriously these are things stolen by the church. I don't understand why people run their mouths without taking like 15 minutes to look up facts.
Yes Christmas is when we remember Jesus' birthday, but we really can't claim it and then to say put Jesus BACK in! ha, he was the spice you add once your taste your food and see that it's gross. Just saying, it annoys me.... It's usually the people who need to remember Christ all the time cos they sure don't act like him ever.
So I'm not being a Grinch, I just hate that as followers of Christ we assume we OWN Christmas! The horrible attitude that freaks out every time someone says "Happy Holidays" or "Seasons Greetings." Just because the holiday is named after Christ, doesn't make it only ours.
We have really borrowed this season with many of its traditions, for the reason to honor the birth of Jesus. ok I'm going to stop my random rant....Christmas is a beautiful time and even if a lot of the tradition was stolen from pagan belief, I'm sure God's cool with that, cos Christmas is all about redemption...
So what I'm just trying to say is that the trees, mistletoe, gifts, and the date aren't the deepest and richest aspects of the celebration of Christmas, or the central symbols of it. And people shouldn't get their panties in a bunch so much and should enjoy family and what as Christmas we remember during this time.
One last thing..."Xmas", X is ancient Greek for Christ! (I mean I learned this my freshman year of college) Come on people all you would have to do google the meaning of Xmas....
Ok I do love Christmas for real I do!! Just sometimes the people annoy me to death!!!
