There are now tears in my eyes from laughing so hard.

"Christmas isn’t fucking Christian.That’s right, that Yuletide cheer you’re spreading? What exactly do you think Yule is? It's the fucking Pagan celebration of solstice. And those 'Christmas' traditions? They’re not just like Pagan rituals, they fucking are Pagan rituals. Way before your Jesus got all magical with the bread and fishes, the Romans were celebrating the birth of Mithra on . . . guess? Go on – guess. December fucking twenty fifth. What a weird coincidence. Practically the whole thing is ripped off from the fucking Druids and the Romans. Twelve days? Check. Exchanging gifts? Check. Mistletoe? Check. And you’d better fucking believe that those decorated trees that Gibson and Co. are so bent out of shape over are as Pagan as the Rune and Crystal Shack at Pentagramfest 2005. You might as well be building miniature fucking Stonehenges in your den."

Read the whole thing, expletives NOT deleted, from http://www.fuckchristmas.org/
Anyone who is feeling embittered, or hated the whole thing to begin with, will take heart.

I hated christmas until I had a child. Now its an excuse to see him so overwhelmed with presents from Da, Shana, Grandma, Grandpa, Wes, Michele (his step-grandparents), AUnt Kelley and Uncle Ryan.

I understand the sentiment, AND I am priomarily a pagen, I just can;t feel the animosity these days.
