Fred & Jasper: Take it somewhere else.

@Ja5per: It wasn't necessary to show your dislike for Christianity in a thread where people are wishing each other a Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas everyone.

:xmas:

Ah great! Someone took Christ outta Christmas.

X represents Christ: it is a fairly old variation of Christmas.

That's not what the bill board on Route 60 says.

 

[Zé Tahir]

'X' can be read as 'Kryss' in Swedish so X-Mas would be Kryssmas.

Close but no Christ?

 

[Enron]

It was a joke. If you haven't spent much time in the Bible Belt you probably won't get it.

There the country side gets littered with signs talking of the demonic people that use Xmas instead of Christmas.

I'm not THAT stupid.

 

[Zé Tahir]

I think X-mas technically still has 'Christ' in it...just not spelled out. I don't know the history behind it though...but seeing as X can be read out as 'Kryss' in Swedish it still sounds very similar to Christmas.

Okay, I'm boring myself

 

[The Curr]

I thought it had something to do with the X standing for the cross, and therefore for Christ.

 

[bianconero]

It's Greek.

 

[Enron]

I only know that it pisses the hardline christians here to no end.

I didn't get it.

By the way: Merry Xmas.

 

[Bjerknes]

Merry Christmas.

I'll send it to Bob Cratchit, and he shan't know who sent it. It's twice the size of Tiny Tim!

Go, and redeem some other promising young creature, but leave me to keep Christmas in my own way.

Just goes to show how far from god they really are. Not to mention uneducated.

Irony at its finest.

 

[Ford Prefect]

I hope the people that choose to celebrate today as a religious festival do so and enjoy their day, and i hope everyone else has enjoyed their respective religious festivals this year. (not sarcastic, humble)

 

[Fred]

Thanks man. I know how hard it must have been for you

I dont know if you have seen father ted but its a scene where an alcholic priest who can only say "drink" "feck" and "arse" is being taught how to string together a coherant sentence to impress some bishops. (it does sound sacrilegious, its more a fond satire of catholicism and irish traditions, than attacking the church)

Buon Natale everybody :flag1:
