Marry what-ch-ma-call-it to all.....

The holiday season has begun. So of coarse, the jerk in me has to post lovely Facebook comments about my thoughts on the holiday. "Ugh, why are christians so crazy about its "Merry Christmas", "put christ back in...." "happy holiday is for the devil lovers" (I haven't heard that one but it's comming I can feel it) The christ day your speaking of is one commercialized piece of junk anyhow. The owners of wal-mart are getting rich off everyone, is that in the bible? '......and on this day Sam Walton's family will get richer'!? Other religions are not shoving there god down the world's throat. Why do christians? Don't even get me started on the *Secular* poem "Pledge of Allegiance" I will wait for a patriotic holiday for that. one." Sometimes I get in a mood and I can't help myself. This was a rebuttal to a post that said something about putting christ back in to somewhere and jesus hate presents or something like that. (please don't quote me). Then later that same day the same person was crying that her kids won't have christmas becasue they don't have money for presents. See?! It's not my fault! Can you blame me?

Someday I want to celebrate the New Year with gifts instead of the normal christian thing. My plan, after the kids don't care about Santa, is to hopefully celebrate the New Year with gifts and food. What would be a better way to start the new year? Don't get me wrong. I freakin' love the holiday's. I love buying presents and who doesn't love getting new shit? I like the twinkling lights and some of the music. The 'problem' is I am a very secular person and CHRISTmas is pretty far from secular. You know?

Slight change of subject: I bought Nathaniel's what-cha-ma-call-it present yesterday. I am so excited to give it to him. He is getting it on a secret day, there is one other person who knows when I am going to give it, and she is not going to tell!!!  I think we are about done with the boys presents, I am most excited about the picture frames we are giving each of the boys with a picture of Nathaniel and I in it. I am sure that will be the least favorite this year, but someday they will love it.
