In France, a child can sue her parents for posting pictures of her on Instagram. On any social media network, in fact, it is the responsibility of the French parent to protect a child’s image. The Gendarmerie have even posted on Facebook about it: “Préservez vos enfants!” The law rests on the principle that the images you post of a non-consenting child will endure in the future, and thus may distress or shame the child in the years to come.

Yeah I feel like at this point it’s a sect that the general populations just has to... deal with. Pat them on the head and treat them like adults while our eyes quietly roll out our skulls.

We would be ok without any of it:
1. The current bloated Walmarty "Christmas" that lasts from October into January and incorporates door-buster sales, bows on cars, etc.
2. The artificial inflation of (comparatively minor) Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Neopagan solstice celebrations, and occasionally Ramadan so they can be roped in to an ostensibly neutral "holiday season".
2(a). Said roping-in being entirely to assuage qualms/guilt about secular and cultural Christians indulging in (1).
(3). Arguments about whether Santa, Rudolph, Frosty, "Jingle Bells," etc., can be truly secular (and thus universal) or whether they inherently derive from Christian lore, and are thus not nearly as "neutral" as culturally Christian white suburban ppl want them to be acknowledged as.

nothing makes me steamed than holiday messages that incorporate chanukah literal weeks after the end of chanukah

NB that three years ago "it's funny that non-Christians celebrate Christmas" turned out to be the most controversial opinion on this thread.

Silby otm; the idea that "well, everybody celebrates _something_ this time of year, so therefore 'happy holidays' is culturally neutral" is both a) WRONG and b) irrelevant self-serving bullshit driven by Christians.

I like sparkly lights, green and people not working. This is as far as my love for xmasy/holidaysy types of things go.

The 'people not working' part is the absolute best.

I said it, before but mandatory (all) gift giving for adults is kind of terrible, unless it's a one off life event, or you see the perfect thing for someone randomly.
