Probably because the people who made the show experienced Christmas that exact way for themselves, where for the other holidays they read a boom or asked a practicing religious person what it was like.

Probably because Christmas has been commercialized to hell and back in most places.

It started as a borrowed holiday; why not sell it out completely before they’re done with it?

Considering the pagan festival christmas was intended to superscede was one of feasting and excess its kind of nice to see the opressor eaten alive from the inside.

Hey OP, do you actually think Christians in the US are marginalized, or did you just cross-post that alt-right garbage here by accident?

I am aware. And usually that means crossposting the jokes or making fun of 4channers, not uncritically repeating their dogwhistles.
Just so you’re aware, the phrase “noticing things” or “being a noticer” is 4chan lingo for believing there is a Jewish conspiracy to run the world. That’s why I asked OP to clarify.

What was the purpose of posting this then?

It would be hard to include all of the traditions co-opted to create Christmas in a half hour kids show.

Do you honestly think Jesus was born on December 25? And that Santa and all his elves were there?

Where did Christians get the decorating of a tree?
Jeremiah 10:1-5 explicitly condemns it.

Surprised they did Christmas at all considering the majority of the families in the show were Jewish.

Christmas is just Saturnalia remixed by Coca Cola though.

Know your audience.
Jesus versus Santa is not a difficult popularity contest to call.

Passover, hanukkah, and kwanzaa aren’t completely corporatized and shoved down secular peoples’ throats by the people in power. Christians have only themselves to blame if they think secular christmas is an insult.

This cracked me up. Like I know the post is framed as a “war on Christian’s” thing but the idea that rugrats tackled these themes is just funny to me.
m_f@discuss.online 1 month ago
@nzmaa@lemy.lol what do you think the reason for that is?
Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 1 month ago
religious freedom and freedom of speech only pertain to Christian media duh, Jewish creators who do what they want us offensive because they aren’t Christians.
freedom for me not for thee

Every. Single. Other. Kids. Show. From. The. 90s. And. Before. Has. An. Overtly. Christian. Christmas. Special. But Rugrats doesn’t, it must be a conspiracy! It must be war on Christian values! It must be indoctrination of the poor Christian children. Oh God, won’t somebody please think of the children!
Growing up Jewish in the American southeast, Rugrats was literally all I had. Sometimes Christians can just get fucked.

imagine growing up entirely unaffiliated with anyone’s imaginary friends… in places like louisiana and alabama.
‘which church do you go to?’
none
‘no, honey, where do you go on sunday mornings?’
the kitchen, for cereal.
‘oh lord you must worship the devil himself’
lady, if I don’t believe in your imaginary friend why would I believe in his imaginary enemy?

Don’t have to imagine lol Judaism is my heritage and culture but it’s never been my religion. Not since my family was thrown out of a synagogue for insisting on Palestinian’s rights when I was young. It is scary, being told you don’t have any morals because you don’t believe in eternal damnation. Sort of makes you grateful that person does believe in hell if it’s the only thing keeping him in line.

The south is so polarizing for me. I have relatives who live in southern states amd visit often. Compared to northeastern states, everyone down south is soooooooo fucking nice and polite and out going. Yet somehow, on avg, also the dumbest and slowest moving people I’ve ever seen in my life. Never in a rush. Always got this and God that.
Fuck me running tho they got the best fucking cookout food in the world. BBQ, corn bread, Mac and cheese, greens, its all like a coming of age thing. You turn 13 and you either learn your family recipes or get banished north of the Mason Dixon line
