Wrapping your package is overrated.

-Antonio Cromartie

Yeah, it's very stupid to hear something about Jesus... on the day millions of people celebrate His birth.


For me, the stupidest thing I "hear" on Christmas will undoubtedly be something I "hear" on this board.

The Jesus character?





The stupidest thing.
I didn't even have to wait for Christmas.

yeah I diubt he tells his family they're a bunch of brainwashed idiots following a myth perpetuated for years and observed by hundreds of millions of people.....but then again if he does I'll bet that makes for great Christmas dinner chat.....

Let's get back to the original subject. Package wrapping does make a difference. Don't even put one of those store bought bows on your gifts. Ribbon is so inexpensive these days and it takes like a minute to make a pretty bow. I know most of you are guys, but find your inner female and do this. Your girl will either think you are fantastic or gay.

I love making bows and get great satisfaction looking at the packages wrapped pretty.

That said, I'd like to tie a tight bow around a few packages round here.......

The only package that should be wrapped should be done in Trojans.

F Christmas. I bought my kid a Broncos jersey (ugh) and I'm giving it to him in the shipping box. If it gets here. For Chanukah this year I didn't wrap either. Commercialism bs.

Fuck wrapping. The only presents that get wrapped are for the kids. Grownups get gift bags.

Just think how lost we'd be w/o Shmuck's analysis and tid bits about Christmas. Carry on.

Rack your sense of adventure.

Yeah, Russia's got nothing on those brutal Middle Eastern winters. Brrr.

Idiot.

I'm not religious. Is it still OK to like Christmas? I even love the religious songs the most. And a Charlie Brown Christmas? What's not to love about that?

I think it's OK for you to like Xmas.

It's great to get out and stimulate the economy. Finger-banging the GNP and whatsuch.

I'm a freak for gospel music. Love Christmas music. I love Elvis getting down on how great Thou Art is. Expressions of faith are interesting to me. I can even dig an occasional church service as long as I'm not asked to take it seriously.

Check.

Like calling it "Xmas".

If you really want to listen to Christmas music, set aside a little over two hours for this:

Here's another version:

Wrong.

...as is Santa Claus and the gift giving.

Wrong.

Christian mythology attached itsself to the winter solstice

That theory might be a little more plausible had Christmas actually been attached to the winter solstice.

You are a very stupid individual.
