Nothing you listed show you being required to observe Christmas. Other people are doing so around you, and you can GASP! hear their carols on the radio! And in the stores! OMG Stuff on TV! (I somehow manage to watch hours a day with zero xmas crap)Yeah, listening to carols in the store and having to deal with a long…

Yes, I am aware of that, but no it was never moved before it as always places in Dec, although yes, that is not in line with the clues in the Bible as to the time of Jesus’ birth, which was probably in the early spring, not summer.

No, it’s not pushed on everyone just because it’s happening around you and you don’t like it.

Those forms of media ARE how other people are celebrating. How dare people use public forms of media to celebrate what they like! So yes, you are letting how other people celebrate get to you when you don’t need to, just like you feel guilt when you don’t need to if you don’t spend a lot of money.

The fact that YOU…

Standard time makes it dark at 4pm where I live. That’s why we need Daylight Savings time all the time, not because it saves any power, because I don’t want it dark at 4pm.

Saying we should move Xmas completely ignores the reasons WHY it’s a holiday. But moving Thanksgiving is a great idea.

If other people celebrating makes it seem like it’s imposed on you, that’s all on you. Just like all the guilt you feel if you don’t go broke. That’s all on you and it doesn’t have to be that way.

Our current calendar is childlike and impulsive.

If you are a student you can sometimes keep your residency in your old state. When we lives in AZ we had our car registered in WA (that we purchased in AZ) because my husband was a student.

In WA state it IS legal to speed when passing, if it’s one lane on each side.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Is that really the best you can do? If you want to go in circles over and over you can at least try a little harder. That’s just a playground argument.

I didn’t need to add anything, it’s clear from the words that are there that pyramid schemes do not involve products.

Well, it’s obviously there so I guess you have more trouble with English than I thought.

Except that I did as well. I mean, do you really have to stoop to lying just because you didn’t properly understand the definitions you provided?

Or just don’t understand those definition / are being obtuse.

But hey, like I said, whatever you need to make yourself feel better.

I’m not relying solely on Wikipedia. (It’s also not a bad source most of the time.) 3 of the 4 definitions you posted support what I’m saying. I’m not bluffing at all, that’s a fact that is apparent to anyone who can properly speak English.

Not sure what you mean by prior views, I’m not a lawyer and I don’t have…

Those are not mutually exclusive things.

You declaring something doesn’t make it true. Claiming I am bullshitting doesn’t change the fact that the definitions support my position.

Claiming that I’m wrong doesn’t change them either. They still support what I say, despite your ability to grasp it.
