You stupid people. [That's not written for copularity contests.] I WOULD like to point out that christmas is on the 24th [or is it 25th?] of December and, this is the 3rd November. Now I get exicted about christmas at aproximatly 11:34 pm on Cristams Eve. Its not like this ones special!!! Why normally the hype doesn't start till at least the 25 of November. it started in October!!! What kind of cilliviasion is this!!! [And I did see my mum when I was 4 lovingly sliding my christmas stocking stuff into my stocking.] I know christmas is probably the most special part of the year as the familly get together over the hearth and most bitter quarells being setteled. I JUST LIKE WAITING TILL CHRISTMAS OK???? [Oh and Xmas is like saying XXXmas. It's dirty and has nothing to do with Christmas.]

OK here's the truth about Christmas:
It's supposed to be a celebration of Jesus' life.
Jesus may not have been born on the 25th December.
Drunk Driving kills more innocent people at this time of year than any other.
Retailers make millions by getting the public into debt.
Children are made very happy by the Christmas celebration, it's a time in the year they can look forward to.
Other religions celebrate similar events at around the same time of year.
99% of pop bands sing a load of tripe that gets to number 1.
1% of pop bands since records began have produced quality Christmas songs.
Nearly everyone enjoys this time of year. It's a national holiday where families tend to strengthen their bonds and feel closer to each other.
Children hate getting socks from Santa.
Children hate getting socks from anyone.
Their really was once a St Nicholas - That's where the myth of Santa Claus began.
There were many ZX Spectrum games based on Christmas, including "Monty Mole stars in: Moley Christmas".
Be prepared for all those Huggies adverts which show babys bottoms at breakfast time to be replaced by Barbie, Cindy and Board Game adverts.
Many older children spoil Christmas for the younger children by telling them the truth about Santa.
Christmas is an excuse for propaganda by the Queen.
Whilst Christmas goes on, many people all over the world are dying of hunger, thrist or deadly diseases and war.
Christmas is the one time of the year when you can forget most of the bad points that are above, and actually enjoy yourself.

Nobody likes socks off anybody.
Not very many people like the queen's propaganda.

Most kids belive in santa then cry when told the truth,in which I have done many times (telling them I mean).
Most things in christmas are bad in my part of Wales.

As many of you have allready mentioned, avdvent calendars are used to advertise popular "stuff".
Last year I got a "Simpsons" calendar [not chocolate, I have never had a chocolate one] and, as I was spending some quality time with my Grandpa before he died, I was in a beatiful church in Austria and as the sermon ended [all in German so I couldn't understand] I saw a large hanging of Jesus. That set me thinking to why I have never ever seen a Jesus calendar so I began searching for one [I mean it WAS his Birthday] and there was nothing at all in over 30 shops! I mean, does this prove that Advent Calendars are just propaganda or what?
So in answer to your question commments are above but Advent Calendars are both fatening and have NOTHING to do with Christmas when you have reached a certain age. Although I beleive that it is fine for smaller children to have sweet calendars with the manger etc.
Most people won't agree with me so make up your own mind, but I don't really agree with them.

I know someone who claims to be a Buddhist but celebrates Christmas.
Anyway, in my opinion, some blokes birthday isn't what I'd call the true meaning of Christmas. I'd say it was about friends and family and being with the people you love.

Christmas has basically become more than a religious holiday (it's that time again... yes I'm stating the obvious!)
It's now about stuff like family, forgetting dumb fueds (maybe we could learn to forget the console war feuding and just have a merry christmas, but I doubt it!), and other stuff like that.
For the large corporations it's a liscense to print money, as the next 'must have' kids toy comes and they get to charge however much they like or the little kid won't have a merry christmas. But it shouldn't really be about that, as long as we make an effort to get people somethink that they will like it shouldn't matter whether it's 'in' that christmas or not.
Christmas should be a happy occasion, so stop running those innocent people down in GTA3 and buy a cute fluffy Nintendo Game :-)

Since most of my Christmas's have passed by in a cloud of booze and vaguely remembered women in red and white bikinis, I look forward to Christmas the whole year round. Never has there been a better excuse to get totally legless and gorge yourself on fine tasting food than the birth of a Mesiah...
