:pokey: I must have this link!

 

Is it me or is the Christian Festival achieving new heights of materialistic frenzy and absurdism?

Only if you're actually a christian I suppose. For me, its an exercise in capitalist consumerism. Though the holiday is hardly reverting to its pagan roots but rather becoming rather non religious, the idea that everyone is now afraid to say Merry Christmas for fear of offending some over sensitive schmuck is rather amusing.

Fragile egos I suppose.

 

I purposely say Christmas completely disregarding 'holiday,' whoever has a problem can get over it soon. Since the manura, nativitity scene, and Christmas tree should receive its proper name.

The more capitalist, the less religious..the better!

In that case, you might want to use their proper names yourself. The "manura" should be the Menorah; and unless it's much more exciting than it used to be, the "nativitity scene" is a mere nativity scene (not that I wouldn't care to see nativititties on courthouse lawns all over the nation).

I would like to comment, but you have already said so much Cato, and given me a great laugh this morning.

Saint Ursus was just trying to spread some holiday cheer, not incite a religious argument.

 

You guys are naughty. Lumps of coals in all your stockings!

 

Well that's what you will get when Christians, Pagans, Agnostics, and Atheists are put into a forum. Next thing you'll know is that Santa Claus originated from Saturnalia.

Oh I do hope there are two nativitities.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! :pokey:

 

Actually, I told my six year old son that Santa was probably too fat to fit his butt down our chimney. I was promptly informed that I would definitely be getting a lump of coal this year. He also asked that I not say that anymore... just so I don't ruin it for him and his brother.

 

Either way I think I am doomed this year. I will attempt to bribe the jolly fellow with some short bread cookies, but I remained concerned.

 

I hope farting elves will help my cause!

 

(And though off topic, I'd like to add my all time favorite JibJab... This Land.)

Good, then I can squeeze them into diamonds. Hmph.

 

Well, I guess I deserve it... I am pretty naughty... :pokey:
