I really enjoy the 크리스마스 season. I 사랑 the 영화 that get played every year. I 사랑 the 크리스마스 음악 radio station. I 사랑 the lights. I 사랑 the snow. I 사랑 the togetherness. I 사랑 the Claymation. I 사랑 wrapping presents. I 사랑 unwrapping presents. I 사랑 making cards and presents for my 프렌즈 and my teachers. I 사랑 going to the mall and finding the perfect gift. I 사랑 going shopping with my friends. I 사랑 the classroom 크리스마스 parties that are against school rules. I 사랑 going to Petsmart with my mom to get 긴 양말, 스타킹 stuffers for my cats. I 사랑 waking up early on 크리스마스 morning and being too excited to go back to sleep because 당신 know how much everyone is going to 사랑 their gifts. I 사랑 not eating breakfast and going straight to the 캔디 in my stocking. I 사랑 읽기 the book my sister got me right away. I 사랑 watching my 고양이 play in the discarded wrapping part.

However, I do not 사랑 Jesus. I don't hate Jesus. I am not a Christian and I have never met him so I have no reason to 사랑 him. I feel it is disrespectful to Christians for me to celebrate part of the holiday. This is why I have come up with Giftmas. Giftmas is 크리스마스 for non-Christians. Giftmas is 크리스마스 without church, the nativity, 또는 Silent Night. Giftmas stands for Everything 크리스마스 has come to stand for, but minus the religious stuff. There is also no egg nog for Giftmas, because egg nog is gross. Gift activities include Giftmas caroling, knitting Weasly sweaters, decorating a synthetic (aluminum optional) Giftmas tree, watching Giftmas movies, eating Giftmas 쿠키 and pudding, dressing up your dog in a Giftmas sweater, going Giftmas shopping, getting drunk at the office Giftmas party, and spreading Giftmas cheer.

Celebrating Giftmas has opened the doors to celebrating many other religious holiday non-religiously. This 년 I hope to celebrate Funuhkah, Leaster, and Feed.
