Its the most ___(insert verb here)___ time of the year.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Welcome to the best, worst, happiest, saddest, wonderful, revulsive time of the year. Today is Christmas Eve, and you know what? The only people who seem to have Christmas spirit are those that are rich enough to pay the exhorbatant fees that retailers charge for hundreds of items that no one truely needs. Bah humbug on you fat, lazy bastards and your iPods and your Hummer H3's. Infact I say bah humbug on anyone contributing to the commercialization of Christmas and I will see you in that special corner of hell dedicated to you.

History Lesson: Christmas 101**.
1. Christmas is a holiday that is celebrated by many religions and affects every section of the world.
2. The date of December 25th comes from Rome and was a celebration of the Italic god, Saturn, and the rebirth of the sun god. This was done long before the birth of Jesus.
3. A simple study of the tactics of the Romish Church reveals that in every case, the church absorbed the customs, traditions and general paganism of every tribe, culture and nation in their efforts to increase the number of people under their control. In short, the Romish church told all of these pagan cultures, "Bring your gods, goddesses, rituals and rites, and we will assign Christian sounding titles and names to them.

So, whats wrong with Christmas?
1. It is assumed that Jesus was born in December. This is a false belief, according to scripture, he was born some time in September.
2. Trees, wreaths, holly, mistletoe and the like are strictly forbidden, as they are pagan and heathen symbols and idols! Yet Christians every year put up a tree and hang wreaths from thier doorways.
3. No where in the Bible does the The Lord ever speak of commemorating his birth but rather He commanded us to remember the sacrifice of His suffering and death, which purchased our salvation.

So, bah humbug.
