BruceVC Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 This thread is off to a weird start. I'm not really comfortable sharing my family plans in it. Oh Hurlshot ....stop teasing You share family photos with the forum...please don't play coy Theres approximately 274 people on my wifes side of the family so we attend a bunch of parties on Christmas eve and day. Its exhausting but ultimately worth the pain because this is her favorite holiday. That sounds awesome....are you saying your wife has 274 family members she actually wants to see? That is very impressive "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Longknife Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Bruce, why do you call it Xmas? Because it's Xtreme! XTREME Holidays This is that magical time of the year where Santa rides on down your chimney on a stunt motorcycle before chokeslamming the Grinch and blowing up any overly greedy corporations while taking care to walk away from said explosions slowly while wearing sunglasses.

BruceVC Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 Why atheist celebreting X-Mas? Good question, its just about the family connections. We put up a tree but there is no religious pray or anything similar So we just use the time for family "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Woldan Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Why atheist celebreting X-Mas? I'm an agnostic like the rest of my family but we see x-mas as tradition and yearly family gathering, not as a Christian holiday. I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.

Gromnir Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 our veneration o' dread Cernunnos is the reason we continue to celebrate halloween. when children come to our door in the darkness o' october 31, we challenge them thus: Do you fear the Lord of Antlers? if they show proper humility and obeisance, we offer them a treat-- a symbolic reward from the king o' the underworld's everfull purse. or not. christmas in japan? *shrug* we celebrate 'cause we can. we never begrudge a soul for finding harmless joy in small things. HA! Good Fun! 3 "If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence."Justice Louis Brandeis, Concurring, Whitney v.
