I told them, if I ever do dress up for "Christmas costume day' I'd dress up as Pontius Pilot. I was told it might help if I would smile more.

EDIT: Morons are taking this post as anti-Christian for some reason...

Ugh. I hate this sort of stuff in the workplace. It’s like everyone has reverted to childhood.

Your response should have been " I'm not here to smile or dress up, I'm here to make money" Period. Spirit week.Hahaha Go fuck yourself with your spirit week lol. What the fuck. I don't participate in that shit when it involves work. Fuck that. I don't do work Christmas parties either. Give me a raise or get out of my face so I can do my job. I don't work to make friends, I work to make money and to feed my family and make sure they don't go without anything.

They'd have to show me where in my job description that was required. "Team spirit" isn't a real objective or requirement, and it's never been included in any of my KPIs.

Not only that the OP is mixing up Christmas with Good Friday/Easter.

I'd see Christmas Spirit Week as a fuck you to kikes, muzzies, and street shitters.

I would use any part of our culture and traditions to make the outsiders feel unwelcome, and remind them that they are different.

Undo the programming that says you should be ashamed of, and too afraid, to celebrate your culture and traditions in front of others.
And instead push it to the extreme.

Your biggest mistake was working around people who have time to care about that shit

I work mostly from home these days, but what I hated more than the parties were the Secret Santas. Thank heavens I've managed to avoid it the past couple of years.

I don't see how your post is anti-Christian, and I'm the local zealot.

Really, I understand. It doesn't mean the same if it's being forced, which it sounds like it is. My mother and I enjoy Christmas and decorate the shit out of the house because it's just nice.

When I was subbing last year, the day before Christmas break I got called in and I wore a Santa hat, gave out a bunch of $1's to kids in class if they got their work done and whatever. Lost about $50 that day, but I didn't care.

None of that is or was forced, I just wanted to do it.

What it sounds like for you is that it's forced "MUH COMPANY CULTURE!" bullshit and frankly I fucking loathe that sort of thing. Do what you think is right, is my verdict.

So many touchy Christians commenting. When I was a Christian, I really disliked Christmas because the way it was celebrated, it was filled with things that have nothing to do with the birth of Christ. When I learned that the most popular Christmas songs were written by jews, I stopped listening to Christmas music, except for songs that celebrated the birth of Christ.

Not wanting to participate in Christmas celebrations driven by jewish marketing and things that have nothing to do with the birth of Christ isn't anti-Christian. It's a principled stance by a Christian.

What are you? a morally and intellectually superior communist?

Remember to reject Christian charity food when you need it and starve to death like good communists do.

No, you'd dress up as Pontius Pilates for Easter.
For Christmas, it's better to dress up as King Herrod.
Nobody curb stomped more baby Jews than Herrod.

To celebrate Christmas, you suggest dressing like Herod, a jew who ordered all male children under two years old to be killed?

Killing baby jews is the TRUE spirit of the holidays.
