I must be a crabby old SOB

Been there. Agreed ten fold. As far as being crabby, hey now, thats MY title, LOL. Xmas is a holiday that I would be all for having it banned or made illegal, unfortunatly all the department stores would go bankrupt in a year if they didnt have this crappy made up holiday to push thier goods on everyone and that would cost a lot of jobs. So I tolerate it.I also put up with it for the kids. I do not buy gifts for anyone but my children and occasionaly I get a trinket for the wife, but thats it. Happy pagan day to you all.

As a side note, if everyone knew the truth about this particular holiday, I believe far fewer would actually celebrate it. Nothing like a holiday whose origins are in murder and mayhem.
