    Christmas is no longer a holiday that honors the Christian god, it’s a holiday that honors the god of capitalism, money.

      Cool, so it’s still worth eschewing /s

      I would like to note though that xmas is a very sore time of year for a lot of people (mostly queer, but others too) who do not have a good relationship with their family

        That’s why I think it’s important that we bring Christmas back to its true religious roots: Fertility, hunting, and maybe a cult of the dead.

        Well, that and I just kind of want to piss off all of my pearl clutching relatives.

        But seriously, thank you for the reminder that this can be a particularly hard season.

        I hope your solstice is marked by good times with real friends and chosen family.
