omg i luv the coca-cola add
"holidays are coming holidays are coming......."

but i think that sometimes its just gettin too commercial when i see people getting too wrapped in trying to buy loads of presents and everything getting stressed out. cause i know for me Christmas has become less about the presents and more about the family.

I love Christmas and it is a very commercial holiday, but I do believe that the religious element is still there and I don't think it will go away.

I saw news from black friday and this lady fell and got trampled and she was putting on her wig, it was quite funny.

anyway, its officially christmas now because i saw the christmas cocacola advert the other day i dont know if i agree with that, people have been celebrating christmas for over 2000 years, long before commercials and presents being exchanged.

It is definitely too commercial. Christmas is about presents. When I asked my little cousin why we celebrate Christmas, he said so Santa Claus can bring us presents. He had no idea about the religious aspect of it.

And also, Jesus had to grow up first. :roll: Silly Alex.

hope its not me your calling silly. but anyway Christianity was actually started with the birth of Christ and have been celebrating since his birth, because people knew him as the son of God then, hence why the shepards and kings were present and why King Herod went out to kill every new born boy.
