I gave up nothing.
Never do.
The point of lent is to give something up to show how 'Jesus' gave something up for 40 days and 40 nights, if you're not christian/don't believe in Jesus then what's the point in doing it, right?
I know people say it's a good chance to diet or whatever, but really. I don't do it, cos I'm athiest.
Then, people go & say 'well christmas is for christians, why do you celebrate it?' Christmas has become so commercial nowadays and even jews, or hindus in england celebrate it. If you're christian it's for remembering the birth of christ and spending time with the ones you love, for everyone else, it's really just presents.

Jeez, i have no idea why i typed all that.
Hah :]

that was a bad attempt at being witty.

and lent had nothing to do with anything until after he died.
