Weird xTIAN holidays are a gigantic waste

Every year I have to waste many precious days attending xtian events like Christmas. It's a one big gigantic nonsense. It feels like I was wrong about something, but I'm not, so that's an absurd. Jean Paul Sartre said: "we are nothing and in action become conscious of that original nothingness". My Christmas tree should be labeled: "made of nothingness".

Comment by Richard K. Emms on December 6, 2011 at 7:01am: I agree with John. I haven't had a dead tree in my house in over 20 years. I have learned to enjoy every day. I live alone, and relish every aspect of that. Late December is a couple of paid days off. That's celebration enough. Time for my annual six pack of Guinness.

Comment by John Camilli on December 5, 2011 at 4:24am: Sooo, why do you put up a christmas tree? Why celebrate the holidays when you don't agree with them? I don't. It's just that easy.
