joelandsonja: When I opened my bookmark to GOG.com today, I couldn't help being disappointed to see the title '2013 Solstice Festivmas' advertised on the front page. I have always been a solid supporter of GOG.com, but I am tired of every corporation on earth taking the name of Christ out of Christmas. Corporations wouldn't even have the large bump in sales that they enjoy every year if it weren't for those who celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ! I simply will never understand why these same companies are so quick to exclude the name of the one who is making them money! I don't mind if GOG wants to have seasonal sales like a Fall Sale, or a Winter Sale, etc ... but to purposely avoid calling it a Christmas sale, and instead focus your attention on the winter solstice ?? .... that makes no sense!
If you are going to monopolize on the Christmas holiday, at least have the guts to call it a CHRISTmas sale.
Momo1991: Might I point out that Christmas day probably wasn't the actual birth date of Jesus but rather a replacement for the winter solstice festivities in order to help convert "pagans" to Christianity?
Many religions base their holidays around these types of annual events - even Easter is based on the Jewish festival of Passover. So before you bash GOG for something, do a little research since not every single person on earth celebrates your personal holiday. Just sayin'
