Why do you celebrate Christmas

Jesus was a f****ng long haired hippy on drugs. He was nailed to a cross because he was selling drugs and practicing homosexuality. He was killed over 2000 years ago. Why are you celebrating his birthday, AKA "Christmas".

Just to annoy you. Seems to be working.

Just think, the entire next month we have to listen to f****ng sickening Christmas music on every radio station, and listen to that same crap in every store, and every damn tv show is about Christmas. Not to mention all the commercialism, the fact that stores removed half their useful items and filled those shelves with money wasting christmas decorations and other holiday crap.

And think about all the wasted energy powering all the stupid christmas lights everywhere.

All of this because some long dead homosexual hippy drug addict is supposedly having a birthday. (Like I give a flying f*ck about his birthday).

If that's not annoying, I dont know what is....

Worse yet, every goddamn year we have to go thru this same horror for a month or more, whether we want it or not.

Don't turn on the radio, and wear ear plugs if you think you may hear something that offends you.

Is someone forcing you to shop in a brick and mortar store?

OMG! Someone is forcing you to LIVE and look at stuff you don't like! Call the cops!

Jeolous?

Poor baby.

Gee. You can ignore it all if you want to.

My Kindle Fire loaded up with Saga's albums works for me...

I had an ipod mimi loaded with songs, and my husband has a regular size ipod loaded with thousands of songs. If I don't want music, I don't play it. If I hear music in a store and don't like the song that's playing, eventually the song will end and something else will play that I might like better. I'm flexible like that. :)

This time of the year the probability that the next song is going to be any better is slim. They never play the only Christmas song I like:

I guess that's what ipods are for.

Here is a favorite of mine:

I heard it playing in a store and thought it was just beautiful.

I've always liked that one. It's actually 'Ellens dritter Gesang' from Schubert's Opus 52 that was based on Sir Walter Scott's 'Lady of the Lake'. The poem does start out with 'Ave Maria' but that's where the similarity ends. To make the prayer fit requires repeating phrases.

Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.

Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus Nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.

or

Hsail Mary, full of grace, the Lord be with you. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

That's the Bach/Gounod version the Gounod based on a Bach piece from 'The Well Tempered Clavier'.

Anyway, it's not a Christmas song.

That's a Christmas song, although you don't often hear it in Gaeilge. I'm more familiar with 'Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht'.

The first time I heard it the song was playing on the speaker in the store at Christmas because it was on a Christmas CD they were selling at the time. I always think of this piece at Christmas. I liked Placido Domingo as a tenor, but he is on the lower range of tenor, almost a baritone. When the key changed and Michael Bolton sang, I liked his tenor voice much better. It was more a true tenor for me, anyway.

Love 'Silent Night' in any language, except German.

Considering it was written by Mohr and Gruber in Österreich (Austria), in other words you like it in any mongrel language other than the original :)

yep pretty much! haha I don't like the German language ... how it sounds. It doesn't matter that I have German blood in me, either! Other languages aren't so harsh sounding to my ears.

The only German word I know, is the word "FUCK". I like that word, and it's not harsh sounding.....

The German word would be Scheiße.
