Today, I had a very long, complicated talk with my girlfriend. Apparently, since she isn't religious, she doesn't have to give anyone Christmas presents, and yet expects everyone to give her some. She then told me what I should get her. FML

Wtf. I'm not religious and yet I still get presents for people. Surprise her on Christmas day with a bag of poop and a note saying "We're done" in a nice big box with a big red bow. Merry Christmas to that selfish ****! And FYL.

A new boyfriend you don't need a selfish bitch like that dude

When I saw a tangentially religious topic come up and nearly twice the comments on this compared to its adjacent FMLs, I was concerned. I expected a slew of whining about why non-Christians would celebrate a holiday with Christian trappings. And yet, there seems to be quite a bit of tolerance going on (with a few regrettable exceptions)! Y'all make me proud.

Its not a christian holiday..exclusively anyway, neither is easter or Hallowe'en. We Pagans had dibs on those holidays before Jesus was even thought of.

Anyone who said it was a Pagan tradition is correct. It was a celebration of the darkest days. After Xmas time the sun becomes brighter. Being cooped up in castles and keeps for long periods of time till spring was the norm. So they made each other gifts and clothing. People of course did not want to stop the tradition so the Pope covered it up as Christ's birthday. No knew his exact death so this worked well for them. In those days no body used a credit card. Lol if I were you OP I would either give her recycled gifts, as it is the Pagan way to share what you have. Or gifts of spirit, poetry, Drink and food as is also the Pagan way. Lol

Correct except...those early Pagans did not live in castles, mostly peat huts and similar structures. Also xmas is supposed to be for the birth of Jesus not the death, his birth has been worked out to round about August. The Pagans also used to bring greenery into their house and light fires to entice the sun god back hence the fairy lights and the xmas tree.

I can see this FML turning into a giant religious debate.... *runs for cover*

Time to break up IMO. YDI if you get her a gift.

You just gotta love Christmas, as well as every other holiday that involves corporations getting a lot of money from people buying stupid shit.

Yup go to some crazy sex shop and get her a gift she will remember!!
