Offensive? Just think about how your deity of choice feels about what you've done to his birthday. Of all the religions in the world, not one demonstrates so little reverance and respect to it's "god" as Christianity does on its holiest of holidays.
The mythical Jesus kicked the money merchants out of the temple, but you invite them back in for the most crass, commercial and morally repulsive "religious" holiday on the planet.
To celebrate the birth of the man whom many of you believe was the human incarnation of "god", you cover the world in coloured aluminum foil and over-the-top lighting and sing songs about snowmen and reindeers. You can see the religious devotion at cash registers around the world, where big screen TV's and Washer/Dryer combos demonstrate your humble love for the creator of the universe. Even video stores offer two for one deals on porno movies. What a great XXXmas gift idea! Not since Sodom and Gomorrah has mankind better represented the true contents of it's soul.
You celebrate your god, by commiting every single one of the seven deadly sins. Somehow the logic is lost on me, but then again, I'm a godless heathen, not a Christian, so what do I know?

Money is the God you really worship, and this is the one day of the year where Christians are honest about this true devotion. Cold hard cash and worthless trinkets are the order of the day. Shiny things brighten your soul better than lent ever did! After all, god's OK, but he sure can't offer you "no-payments-until-2012"!
And those damned Muslims with their prayers and piety, who he hell wants that shit! If god wanted humility why would he have invented credit cards and Sunday shopping??? It's that understanding that makes Christ kick Mohammad's proverbial butt, making Christians god's new chosen people. (I really gotta get me one of these gods who pick favorites. Hell, maybe he'd even promise me some land!)

Anyway, you may as well make your burnt offerings to your saviour now, because not one of you is getting anywhere near him in the after-life! Considering the unbridled sacrilege which you have ALLOWED his birthday to become, I would hope that you are all aware of this, somewhere down deep inside.
Look, I get caught up in the whirlwind like everyone...I love the shopping, the love of family and friends, the good will of strangers (which would mean more if it extended passed the season), the food, the carols - no scratch that, I worked in retail for over a decade, I HATE the carols! It's not the idea that we have this crass yet lighthearted commercial holiday that I take issue with. We've always had seasonal festivals. It is the fact that we insist on bringing god into it. Is the moral incompatibility of commerce and religion lost on everyone? I don't buy the more popular god concepts at the best of times, but this, along with Easter, are the high-holidays of the Christian faith! How can I respect a congregation who have allowed their faith to be so hi-jacked. This is your GOD we're talking about for fuck sakes. Show some respect! Insist on it from others.
Christmas was among the main reasons why I could no longer, in good faith (no pun intended), include myself in the hypocrisy that is modern Christianity. If this is how you treat the birth of your god's son, I don't really want to be associated with you when we're standing at the pearly gates. I don't think he's gonna be too happy with you Christians. And we all know how the Judeo-Christian-Islamic god can do some pretty nasty shit when he's angry!
If you find this post offensive, take solace in knowing that I find your entire bastardization of this once great religion equally offensive. Deal with it.
Now, for the love of your REAL god, get out there and spend.
Hallelujah! Praise the Profit!!
