| Seeing as it's two minutes until midnight, it's also two minutes until Christmas eve! Yes, only one day until Christmas.
This year however has been particularly annoying, I really do feel that now it is way too comercial. And it's also not really Christmas anymore! I mean, for all the little pagents these days, all the songs and dialouge in them have nothing to do with the holiday or the religion. The government is trying to almost get rid of Christmas because of religious discrimination. It just so happens that our founding fathers were Christian, so they based the constatution on the ten comandments and God (along with beliefs of freedom, it wasn't based solely on God!). So most of the documents and songs and what not have some reference to God in them. The Pledge of Alligiance, it has the word God in it, so what does the government want to do because they don't want to offend people of other religions? They want to ban it from being said in schools! Padon my french, but that is just bull shit! It's the Pledge to our country, and they want to ban it? Pretty soon we'll have people who don't even know it because they weren't premitted to say it! FYI! You don't have to recite it you know. If your of a differnt religion, you don't have to say "God". But I think we need to pay tribute to our country and the people who created it, and died for it, and those who are dying for it now! "God Bless the USA". That is one of the most beautiful songs about our country there ever was! It's about a man who loves his country, and guess what? "God" is mentioned! *gasp!* For all of you people who don't believe, fine. I don't care, but you can't take away what is two centuries old because your afraid it will offend people! I mean, what if the founding fathers were Jewish? Would they try to take any reference of that religion out too?? You better believe it! I'm just so sick of these people trying to make Christmas not Christmas!!! There is a sign up at this church, Christ on the Mountain, it says "Put "Christ" back in "Christmas"' it's sooo true! You can't take out Jeasus because people may not like it! If they just want the gifts, create your own damn holiday! One where we don't have to worry about taking out "God" and stuff, pretty soon it will just be "Mas" because they'll have to take "Christ" out! I'm just so sick of it! Leave it alon, this holiday has been going on for thousands of years, this material is sooo old, and now it's all changing in four years because Bush is worried that people might get sad because they don't believe in Jeasus or God!!! And even if you don't belive in the whole God thing, don't you just want the holiday to be what it was, what it was supposed to be? Back where you got a few presents, they were things you could use and wanted, and you had fun, enjoyed spending time with your family and hearing music you have known to love? I do, and I think a lot of other people do too. Put the "Christ" back! Make up a holiday, I don't care, just leave this one alone! Anywho, besides my debate on religion and the 21st centurary, I had a party today! I went to Amy's house and hung out with some of my friends. Here is what I got! Mitch: An adorable little stuffed teddy bear, and a singing nighttime carebear, the carebear was his white elephant thing, and I got it. Alex: A bag of Jelly Belly jelly beans Jared: Did I get something from him? I can' remember, but then again, it is 12:30 in the morning! Trevor: A card with a cute saying in it Ben: A cucumber mellon bath set (it's even got a loufa!!!! score!) Lana: Watermellon lip gloss Amy: Chocolate, an ausome smelling candle and a lip balm!! Yup, there's my list!!! Woot, once again, I cleaned out good! And tonight I have a big family party, and my aunts always spoil me! As well my grandparents! See? I am even getting caught up in all this commercial greed, but it's tradition, so I always get about the same amout of gifts, so that's ok isn't it??? Lol, I know it's not, but I can't help it! But to justify it, I usually end up getting clothes, lol! Ok, well, I have to go. Seeing as I sarted this post yesturday technically, maybe I'll post again later tonight, but last year I didn't get to go to bed after this party until like 1 in the morning, so we'll see! Ok, I'm out, ByeBye! Merry CHRISTmas to all of you too! LE |
