Religious Holidays Rant

Christmas! Argh where to begin..Basically its just a shitty commercialised holiday that is controlled by presents and the media! You should only be allowed celebrate christmas if you're a Devoted Christian! (Which I'm not, just stating the obvious)..Half the people out there celebrate it ,and a number of them are 'Athiests' or some other religion! Why not celebrate your own holiday and stop using christmas as an excuse to get presents you greedy bastards! I admit I used to exchange gifts for Christmas while I was still another religion..but that was when I was very young and didn't know any better and had no one to tell me to stop! But now i just exchange gifts for the religion I am ,kinda.. not really though...I dont really do the gift thing at all anymore. So as I was saying..If you're an Athiest...stop dancing around in santa hats looking like an idiot. You're an Athiest, you don't get a holiday Nothing against Athiests. They're just a great example.But it is the same for other religions, bar Christianity.Also why is it that Christmas gets its own special day where no ones allowed go to work.What about the non christians. They should work. What are the non christians suppose to do with no bus's running or certain stores open? Nothing against christians celebrating christmas..but do they have to make everyone else celebrate it too?It takes over two whole fucking weeks. When majority of people arn't even Christians.I asked a number of people why they liked Christmas and they all said "Because its happy and you get presents!". I thought Chirstmas meant celebrating Jesus Christs birth... Obviously not anymore. And the three wise men gave jesus presents. I know you can't give jesus presents but why give eachother them? And i know its not JUST about the birth Of jesus. Everyone says its about being with your family etc. Well even if it is..you still just see it as a presents holiday. And not everyone has a happy family to celebrate it with either. Halloween. Now this is the holiday I celebrate. Because I am Pagan. Halloween aka Samhain is a Pagan holiday.So why does everyone dress up in costumes or have banners across their door saying 'Happy Halloween'. They all use it as an excuse to party and dress up. They think its just a fun "scary " random holiday.These people know shit and are tards.

Conclusion : Celebrate your own holiday. And these religious holidays shouldnt go to an extreme, like they do already.
