The Ultimate Secular Christmas "Hymn"

[Jarlaxle]

Ooo, it says they might produce "The Chronicles of Narnia".



Now that IS based on Christianity, through and through. Great series.

I hope they don't make it a movie...it is guaranteed to be a butcher job.

They already did. The article posted was in 2004. Here it is:

I know people go wild for this Josh Groban song, but as I heard it on the radio yesterday, two things occurred to me:

1. The sentimentality of it is based on nothing. Absolutely nothing. I would never have my students sing this song because I recognize that straight away. "Dreams", "destinations", but mostly, some nebulous "feeling" that is fleeting and tentative. Footie pajamas, opening presents, snow, hot chocolate--I don't know what. Do not get me wrong: there are very good songs about working toward and achieving dreams. This is not one of them.

2. It's sentimental schlock. It's Christmas without any religion. It's what you're left with when it's all holiday with no foundation. I say that's fine if you're trying for Rudolph and Let it Snow and Jingle Bells. When you try to reach for Meaningful, you end up with....this.

What do you think?

It says "You're a special snowflake, you can do anything if you just believe in yourself." A la Secular Humanism, removing Christ from Christmas.

While that's a good attitude to have, at times it's best to realize when things are not going as expected and try something different. It's also good to realize there may be forces at work bigger than yourself around.

Either way, it's a Christian holiday.

• Independence Day (July 4).
• Labor Day (First Monday in September).
• Columbus Day (Second Monday in October).

• Thanksgiving Day (Fourth Thursday in November).

what do you mean, either way, morrison - its a christian holiday, not to mention its always been a holiday, the winter solstice since recorded time ...

what's phony is your religion choosing that time to selfishly then claim it is for you alone.


you too sweety, buttout with your anti-secular rhetoric for the Holiday's celebration, solstice your religion purposely chose having nothing to do with religion but to encourage worshiping your fictitious messiah.

Christmas is Christian.

Christians ruin Christmas

No bitch. It's fucktards like you claiming that Christianity isn't the origin of the holiday, because it is. According to your post that I'm quoting, you worship the Federal government like a total moron lemming.

Easter. 'Nuff said.
