If you're not religious, Easter weekend is just another long weekend. But why isn't...

I think Black Friday is ridiculous. To make employers come in to work at 4am just for consumers to buy the hottest new toy for Christmas as if it will never be there. I love Christmas!! Don't get me wrong, but materialistic gifts is not...

When did Christmas become just about the presents? What happened to the Spirit of Christmas? Why can't we enjoy the music, the decorations, the food, being with friends and family without having to worry about who gave the biggest...

They are not just some lame excuse for beer-drinking, overeating, yelling at ppl, being rude, making more MONEY...etc.

Christmas is the birth of Christ, Solstice is the shortest day of the year and lights are so good for that.

One thing I love about living in another country with different religious mores from those in my home country is that my husband and I can celebrate holidays our own way. I used to HATE Christmas, especially the part about going broke...

While I don't mind getting people gifts here and there, I detest holiday shopping. It's like people let go of all consideration and kindness for other people until they get home. A crap load of cars on the road when you're trying to get...

I stopped celebrating Christmas when I still identified as a Christian due to the fact it stopped being about friends, family and/or your God and started to be about who is receiving what presents from whom.
I am a happy celebrator of...

It has turned into a joke, I mean it no longer is about what it should be about, and to be honest I am 21 years old and I know Chritmas is for the birth of Christ and all that, but I don't know what you are supposed to do or what it is...

Recently my wife came home from work to tell me that the pre-school where she works do not allow references to 'Christian festivals' by name. Such events as Easter and Christmas are now 'festive seasons'. The staff are told to teach...

This was my standard happy holidays greeting/message to people in the year 2010.

I wish you a happy socially forced consumerism day (Christmas) and a happy woopdie-fucking-do the Earth revolves around the sun as it has done so for...

i am weird but i hate being like a sheep where everyone gets in line on valentines day to buy flowers or candy. it seems tacky to me. i hate that christmas is all about buying as much crap as you can and spoiling your kids ruining...

The best part of the holidays for me used to seem like it was the food and getting what you wanted from Santa Claus or your parents. Or buying cards for Valentine's Day or making sure to go all out and cook/buy too much food for...
