This year I was appointed with the honorable responsibility of getting gifts for my family. I already got that little bitch (aka my younger brother) a present. Then I spent $20 buying Magic: The Gathering cards. I believe this places me under the geek category! I'm also planning to buy my friends gifts! I am just oozing with generosity this year. I already got my fellow blogger Simien Fox some delightful vegan vitamins!
Here's a fun question! What does Christmas mean to you?
Answer below!
Next blog entry: CLUBBING!!!
To me Christmas has never really been just about celebrating the birth of Christ. We don't have any rites commemorating Jesus's birth or anything. We just eat and open presents at midnight. It's just a time to have fun with family and friends I guess. I also like to think of Christmas as more of a season than a day. So the meaning I would give Christmas is a season to celebrate family and friendships. ;D
ReplyDeletewe like don't think of that bitch Jesus, not my brother. Like I think of Christmas as a commercial holiday, but like its not only that. It's also about family and caring about them, wishing better for them.
ReplyDeleteI am rather bothered by how commercialized Christmas has become over the years, and not only that, but Christmas has been starting earlier and earlier each year. They already started playing Christmas songs on the radio right after Halloween! But if you ignore the commercialized part, Christmas is a good time to acknowledge the importance of giving and spending quality time with family and friends (and money!). [Oh, Simien Fox has changed names to Ky Kebero now. It's the same word but the Amharic (Ethiopian) version of it.]
