I feel very sorry

[jehop61]

for all the DUers who are posting such bitter comments today. No matter what your religious persuasion, or lack thereof, it's good to have one day when you can see the world in a better light. Merry Christmas

6. Indeed

3. And I feel sorry for those who can only do this one day of the year.

Kindness, compassion and a sense of community should be our focus every day. Not just on Judeo-Christian holidays.

4. I'm sure your message will serve as inspiration for everyone

Nothing says 'Merry Christmas' like supercilious superiority.

7. Thread win.

8. Sometimes

a day like this can also point out to someone the gross hypocrisy of many religions and religious people. And how the central tenet of a religion is ignored in favor of hatred and inhumanity.
It is also a sad and lonely day for some people. And telling them they should be celebrating and seeing the world in a better light is more depressing.

9. Since I don't see it as a religious holiday, I don't dread implications. A native friend told me:

Not every day is a great day.

But every day is a good day.

Meaning, everyday you're alive is a gift no matter how bad it feels.

Memories of people and places made me weep last night, wishing I could relive those days.

It's weird… you know the end of something great is coming, but you wanna hold on, just for one more second… just so it can hurt a little more.

Trash Thread and Ignore whoever is upsetting you. Give yourself a good day, no one elso can give it to you.

10. I got better things to do today than feel sorry for people.
