I don't mind the Holiday Season and find it quite amusing people running round with their heads up their asses panicking wondering what to buy for presents.
Christmas itself has no Christian meaning to me, it's a load of commercial nonsense where Jesus is a secondary thought. Jesus wasn't even born on 25th December anyway FFS, the Bible-bashing loonies stole a pagan celebration of the sun and made it their own.
I don't mind people saying 'Merry Christmas' and anyone who takes umbrage with someone who does can go run infront of a truck. I do mind people writing XMAS instead of Christmas on cards though, that winds me up no end.
