Because Christmas really isnt a "Christian" holiday. It was a pagan celebration co-opted by early Christians in order to convert said Pagans.


That's just transference of a Christian feast day (celebrated in Alexandria starting in 200 AD and Constantinople in 380 AD). The festival Natalis Invicti did not hand or presents or anything like that, but was a big day, so naturally Christians moved a newer feast day celebration (Christs birth) which was being celebrated on all sorts of different days, to one day.

Also, the cult of Sol Invictus and Mithras often took early Christian practices and made them their own, trying to co-opt Christianity. But your liberal websites don't tell you that. They just say it was Christianity. But in reality, they were fighting for survival, and they were relatively new pagan cults.

Believing in Santa made for some great times as a child, I wouldn’t rob those memories from my kid just because I want credit for the gifts.

It's kind of sad, actually. Thought it was supposed to last longer than that.

holy shite, if you click the author's name it shows other posts from her.

quote:

NO BOYS ALLOWED: I WANTED A DAUGHTER, GOT A SON


quote:

And, on the other hand, I didn’t like what I perceived boy stuff to be. I hated the thought of the endless climbing and punching and destructive games where things blow up and crash, and there is just so much shooting going on. The thought of watching Hot Wheels spin around the same loop-the-loop a thousand times or trying to comprehend baseball statistics or being witness to even a single game of cops and robbers just left me feeling empty inside.


quote:

As the baby’s birth became imminent, I told my midwife not to announce the baby’s gender. “I just want to hold my baby in my arms for a moment and enjoy his or her presence before knowing,” I said between contractions. In other words, “If you tell me he is a boy, I fear I might reject him.


quote:

In all honesty, I know I experienced a tinge of disappointment. There was a fleeting moment of disbelief when I thought, “Really? I have a son?”


granted the entire point of the article is that she now feels terrible for having these thoughts, but my god. She seems like a real pleasant person.

What this really comes down to is that this woman wants to take the wonder abd magic of Christmas from her kids so that she can be satisfied that her kids know that she bought the presents.

It's actually really selfish of her. She needs the gratification of her kids knowing that she spent a lot of money so she sacrifices a great part of their childhood.

She's pathetic.

Let’s be honest. We all would have probably killed someone at this point if it wasn’t illegal.

Someone has to ask you a question for you to lie or tell the truth. People that air shite like this out there aren't doing it because they want to be honest. They do it for attention. The fact that she posted this under her real name, knowing her son could later find this and read it, is selfish.

Referring to her as "honest" for airing out the fact that she was disappointed that she had a son reminds me of the people who use the "i'm just a blunt person" or "I just call it like I see it" as an excuse to be a shithead to other people. No, Karen. You aren't "just a blunt person". You're a fricking bitch and no one likes you.
