Every major American holiday is something that used to be meaningful, but has degraded into arguing over stupid shit while being fat.
Halloween - Formerly All Hallows' Eve. This was an Irish Catholic holiday about remembering the dead, brought to America by immigrants. Now it's about stuffing your face with candy and bullshit "witchcraft" that Gerald Gardner made up in the 1960s. Dumb women love that.
Thanksgiving- Formerly a day about remembering the discovery of this land, and a harvest festival. Now it's about hating your uncle because he votes wrong and eating sugary crap until you die from diabetes. Nobody harvests anything or even knows that food comes from farms.
Christmas- The holiest of days, formerly an entire season on the Church calendar where we celebrate the birth of Christ. Then for a while, it was about buying huge piles of mass produced crap that ends up in the garbage 3 days later. Now it's even stupider. Americans accuse Christians of "stealing" Christmas from Pagans somehow, because everyone knows that pagans were known for celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. They cite stories about Bacchus, Mithras, or Horus as evidence, and proceed to get every detail wrong. If you point out that no credible source supports their version of these myths, then you're the ignorant one somehow. Americans don't care about facts or reality, only sugary treats, and there's lots of them on Christmas. If they survive Thanksgiving, this is when diabetes gets them.
