lol crimbo Thats what people do here in Germany on May 1, even tho I tirelessy try to convince them it is a day of work and solidarity, but alas.
*Laughs at Northern Hemisphere* But seriously, New Years is definitely better than Jesus' birthday, but Christmas is definitely better than New Years. In fact, thinking about it, New Years is actually pretty awesome, and I'm not even old enough to drink yet... New Years is definitely more celebratory, and I don't get stuck with the entirety of my dad's side of the family saying grace and all that jazz. If it was possible to have Christmas morning flow into New Years' night, then that would truly be the best day ever. But yeah. Christmas is not Jesus' birthday.
The Winter Solstice(s) is(are) the only real winter holiday(s). Any other holiday isn't necessarily in winter everywhere.
There's two types of Christmas: 'Jesus' Birthday' Christmas, and 'Santa Claus' Christmas. some celebrate it as a religious holiday, some as a commercial holiday. Funny how the latter brings out the worst in people. Anyone else hear about that Walmart employee in NY state who got trampled to death on Black Friday?
Bastaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard. I would have so much fun with my friends if we were all drunk, it'd be like our regular hilarious moments but like... four times over.
