Return of the Jedi

I have returned home for a few days, for CHRISTMAS! What is the meaning of christmas? According to reference.com:

"the annual festival of the Christian church commemorating the birth of Jesus: celebrated on December 25 and now generally observed as a legal holiday and an occasion for exchanging gifts."

My understanding is that the year of his birth is not even agreed upon, let alone the day! Alas this didn't divide the christian church. I miss the good old days, with the religious intolerance and persecution. Where did they go? Where are the witch hunts? I'll tell you where! They're poisoned by capitalist toxic fumes, the same fumes which engulf the christmas spirit! That's where!

I'm not a christian, but at least if this holiday was strictly a religious one, it wouldn't be as annoying as it is in present day - perhaps we could even make it a private celebration instead of a public one by claiming it's discriminates against non-christians. I will return to my home away from home in a few days, so there is light at the end of the tunnel for me.

Ah, but you do get a few days off, and if you don't runn about trying to get your hands on some present you'll come out of it relaxed
