I don't celebrate Christmas and I get really pissed off when people ask me how I celebrate Christmas. Time: 12/24/2006 02:09:00 PM
Call me the Grinch, whatever.
To me Christmas is a Christian holy day (*not holiday*), so there.
I can't help but feel its close to losing its 'spirit' and intention to greed and American commercialization (like Valentine's and Halloween...) with its global kitsch 'Winter Wonderland' decorations (especially in tropical Singapore) and images of greedy kids opening stacks of presents around a fake Christmas tree.
Call me a traditionalist, whatever.
But this doesn't mean I hate Christmas.
I just get frustrated when non-Christians celebrate it just because they think its 'Western' and they celebrate Christmas with total disregard for the Christian traditions ('merry-making' like drinking and partying... ehem...)...
So to all my Christian friends, Happy Holidays.
Enjoy this clip. I find it really cute.
