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 onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2008, 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 wishee. 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.

Merry Christmas Everybody!

I think the non-religious people should call it something else (Familymas ) and just let the Christians get on with whatever they do, I can't help feeling that we are treading all over their festival.

haha and Benjamin, my spam box is full of things to get people in the mood.

Quote: "(not really about religion anymore, is it?)"


Depends on who you are - for us it's just an end of year tradition where the family get together, stuff ourselves with food, enjoy family time, have a good mood on and buy each other presents. As a non-Christian I find it difficult to partake in the religious side of it.

My Nan however participates in the Church events and worships Christ on the day. And no doubt she pours herself plenty of wine too if I know her right (she has a duty as an Irish lady)

As for naming Christmas...Why rename it? Why make it politically correct? I think the name is fine the way as it is - just because it has the word 'Christ' in it shouldn't be a problem. It's the name of the tradition. Getting overly PC will just ruin it and encourage people to be more pedantic. It's called Christmas because that's where the word derives from - the word 'Easter' derives from the German Goddess who also derived from the Mesopotamian pagan Goddess 'Ishtar' the goddess of love, war and procreation.

So a very Merry Christmas, or Jedimas just for the sake of Jedi just being such a wicked idea for a religion.

Why does every Christmas thread need a debate. Just give your cheer and be on with it. No need to get semantic here

My sig has a great message on Christmas by Ben Stein. I'd recommend you all to read it

EDIT:

Here's my favourite part of his message:

Quote: "
Next confession: I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are: Christmas trees. It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, "Merry Christmas" to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu. If people want a creche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.
"


Sums it up pretty nicely I think

For the same reason Easter, Ramadan and similar 'religious' topics end in debate. Stupid enough, we should indeed just congratulate each other, even if we do not celebrate ourselves.

So: Merry christmas!

The whole idea of PC is despicable, we don't have freedom of speech, we have freedom of silence (oooh OBese said something profound lol)

I don't like people saying "Happy Christmas", it's MERRY! Come on how often do you get to say Merry?
