Its Christmas

I dont celebrate christmas as normal people do. For me it's just an ordinary day and this holiday season is really different since there are noticeably less decor and less jolly celebrations, maybe people have finally realized how ridiculously expensive it is to splurge during this time of the year, or maybe there isnt really much to spend with. (damn you economic crisis!)

There are people who wishes me MERRY CHRISTMAS and personally, im a little uncomfortable with it since im not a person who greets everyone. When i do, most of the time its just because it is the polite thing to do and my friends may have noticed it since i dont greet them on birthdays or other special days. hehe (im a badass i know)

Let me use what George said to Callie (grey's anatomy) why he didnt say i love you back because basically this is one of the reason why i dont greet. Its not the same but somehow it kinda explains it.

"I didnt say i love you because i dont think it is the right time to say it but it doesnt mean i dont love you or i love you less than what you want from me. You just have to allow me to mean it coz if i said i love you now, i will be saying it because you want me to say it not because i mean it."

but let me clear this. I appreciate people who have greeted me. so thanks guys. >specially to Geisha and Nap<>

Also, allow me to just say this. I know i've said that im agnostic but it bugs me when people send "Merry X-mas" because i feel like Christ is excised out of the actual christmas greeting. X is used to denote an unknown of unnamed variable but everyone knows Christ so just out of respect to the guy, Let's use his name. I am not Catholic and this is not a religious request. maybe this is a religious tolerance request.

Upon, further research, I've found out that the Greek alphabetX called CHI (pronounced as KHI) is also a symbol for Christ (Christ is spelled as Χριστος in greek) and some people even consider X as a symbol for honoring the martyrs and X also represents the cross so i guess my XMAS is ok so disregard my request and send all XMAS greetings you want because i am a change person because i acquired knowledge and im open to change my views, i hope the churches and narrow minded people do the same and be open to the possibility that their reality may not be the same with others.

BTW just added info. The LABARUM. (Seen below) is a christian symbol representing christ and is a combination of the greek letter chi and rho.

Ok i better stop because im becoming a nerd again. hehe. i need to get a life.
