@matrix Is there anyone who hates Christmas who isn't a huge faggot?
@matrix @ArdanianRight i dont hate it but i get vibes that most of it is fake or superficial
@wowaname @matrix Everything's kind of fake and superficial. At some point you just stop worrying about it and just go ahead and enjoy things.
@ArdanianRight @matrix i enjoy things, if they are authentic and meaningful

@wowaname @ArdanianRight @matrix and happy holidays is definitely an attempt to further sterilise the period for maximum commercial applicability

@kline @ArdanianRight @matrix i dont really care one way or another. people take down their lights the very next day and act like christmas never happened. and where i am now, im putting up with the same exact shitty, noisy, obnoxious neighbours that i was putting up with last week.

that's what i mean by it being fake.
@kline @matrix being yelled at between christmas and new year's by my grandparents, not one year, but several years, and @ArdanianRight is telling me i should just suck it up and fake it and act like im having fun. it doesnt matter if i call it christmas or "the holidays" when either way i have consistently had bad experiences.
@ArdanianRight @kline @matrix hopefully next year goes well but for now it's a big joke that someone is telling me to enjoy something that i cannot
@wowaname @kline @matrix No, I don't mean fake anything, I mean try to enjoy and make the most of it.
@ArdanianRight @kline @matrix trying to enjoy something that's fake is equivalent to feigning enjoyment, to me.
@ArdanianRight @kline @matrix i'd love to be festive today but i cannot put my heart into it
@ArdanianRight @matrix I just swung by Metokur's Twitter account to see if he's still alive and his Christmas greeting included a screenshot of a Huffington Post article talking about how Santa Claus is White supremacy 'cause you wouldn't allow a Black man to break into your house. :trollface:
@rasterman @matrix If Santa were a black man he'd take your stuff instead of leaving stuff.
@rasterman @ArdanianRight @matrix The difference is that santa gives me things and only takes the milk and cookies. :comfyxd:
@matrix Here, the people who wouldn't say "merry Christmas" wouldn't be celebrating it. I know a few. Bitter people. Even in my fedora atheist days, I would still partake in the festivities.
