Re: Walmart not afraid of saying Merry Christmas

[quote=JahRasta;407585]I also get pissed off at people who associate Santa with Christmas.....and NOT Jesus Christ.

I am sure Saint Nick existed and gave presents to the poor kids ....but shouldnt that be a part of everyone's daily doctrine ....give alms to the needy? Or is that just in Islam where its required. Why do people choose the fat guy who gives them presents over the "son of God" who saved their eternal souls. Its OBVIOUS to me...who should be celebrated...on CHRISTmas day, but why doesnt everyone else?[/quote]

because not everybody is christian /capt obvious

why get pissed off at the way other people celebrate a holiday? celebrate it any way you want to, nobody is stopping you.

thats for anybody who thinks this way, and ive heard more and more of it the last few years. not for anyone in particular,btw

It's tradition, that's all. Same reason we're celebrating Thanksgiving soon and eating turkey. People like some traditions, makes em feel good.
