Gives me an excuse to not go to school

Annoying that I'm expected to go buy gifts for people. I told anyone who would get me something to just donate to charity instead.

Both good answers, but let's focus on the religious aspect because why not and it is also categorized as Religion, so...

True Christmas is a Religious thing, .. specifically "Christian". This is why I ask that; for the life of me, I can't understand why God fearing, Bible reading, Christ loving Believers can't see the pagan roots of the Religion called "Christian"?

Look, in Acts 11:26 it was the Gentiles who mock-called the Believers “Christian”, but in the Bible we see that they never referred to themselves as Christians, but “The Way”!

Acts 19:3 And about that time there arose a great commotion about “the Way”.

Here we see King Agrippa mocking Paul:

Acts 26:28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.

(I can almost hear the laughter in the court!)

And here we see how insulting and annoying it started to become to the Early Believers, or Disciples, those who were of “the Way”:

1 Peter 4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

God bless you all.
