christmas is the shiz, forget religion.

is lost planet that sick ass looking game that had a trailer released the other day. f*** that looks mad, almost makes me want a console

it's probably about a planet... that got lost.

Xmas is an Ancient Pagan festival adopted by the Rome Catholic Church to convert the pagans to Chist...

Simple facts, Christ was born in September not December.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturnalia

There is a theory that Christians in the fourth century assigned December 25th (the Winter Solstice on the Julian calendar) as Christ's birthday (and thus Christmas) because pagans already observed this day as a holiday.

It is also possible to see it as early Christians replacing the Pagan celebration in an act of triumphalism. However, others claim that early Christians independently came up with the date of December 25th based on a Jewish tradition of the "integral age" of the Jewish prophets (the idea that the prophets of Israel died on the same dates as their birth or conception), and a miscalculation of the date of Jesus' death. It is even sometimes claimed that Aurelian moved the feast of Sol Invictus to December 25th to co-opt the Christian celebration.

The Romans also practiced many traditions similar to Christmas; specifically the "Christmas tree", though the Christmas tree itself is a later development in the celebration of Christmas (having its origins in Germany, possibly during the Reformation). The Romans often cut down evergreens and decorated them to pay homage to Saturn, the god of farming. This was to honor the fact that the evergreens remained alive during the harshness of winter in the Mediterranean. It was also traditional for Romans to exchange gifts during this holiday. These gifts were customarily made of silver, although nearly anything could be given as a gift for the occasion. Several epigrams by the poet Martial survive, seemingly crafted as riddling gift-tags for gifts of food. The medieval celebration of the Feast of Fools was another continuation of Saturnalia into the Christian era.

Check out how non christian cultures celebrate the ending of the Winter Solstice.

I believe that has already been covered in The Davinci Code.

^^ haha another work of fiction to explain a work of fiction... :)

Christmas trees have nothing to do with christianity.

No one is saying Jesus was born on Dec 25.

The december period is used for many groups to celebrate certain things. Why can't christians celebrate their beliefs today?

In short, mind your own business.

Hey someone complained that non christians where celebrating Christmas, I merely pointed out hipocrassy of such a comment, which is the whole point of a forum, hence the name "forum"...

"have a satisfactory non-denominational capitalist gift-giving season"

it's probably about a planet... that got lost.

I think its about your head.

i think it's about you

^^ haha another work of fiction to explain a work of fiction.

it's all BS so why not make money off it... oh hang on, that's what Christmas is all about!1

one word,
one holiday.
Kwanzaa.

merry christmas carns

Sadly it is not snowing in London, which it did apparently last year.

Maybe later...

merry xmas to all, who cares about the why. It's a holiday that gives people a reason to get together and a few days that the working world slows down for a bit of a rest so that's all good by me.

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.

I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the generally accepted calendar year 2007, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. And without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishes.

By accepting these greetings you are accepting these terms. This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for herself or himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.

Edit: Yes, I cut and pasted it from an email an american friend sent me, hence all the america references, and I'm too lazy to change them into something more relevant.
