[size=13pt]What is Christmas?
It is tenderness for the past,
courage for the present,
hope for the future.
It is a fervent wish
that every cup may overflow
with blessings rich and eternal,
and that every path
may lead to peace

Merry Christmas to you All

Long Life[/size]

What is Christmas?
It's a pagan festival
Based around the Winter Solstice,
Which used to be known as
the feast of the god Sol Invictus.
Which Constantine the Great,
the famous "protector" of Christianity,
was a follower of.


Merry Sol Invictus Day. grin grin

My attack on Christmas


Most fact-finders now know that Santa is an anagram for Satan and that Christmas is a celebration aged about 200 years. Additionally, Dr. Malachi Z. York, one far mightier than I – whose shoes I am not worthy to shine, detailed Christ is a neology for the ancient-Egyptian Karast.

Who is the Chris in Christmas? Romans, who Christianized the pagan sun celebration to an observance of the son’s birthday, obviously made Jesus, titled Christ in Antioch (a place he never visited), the chosen one, not Chris. Perhaps it’s Kris Kringle, which has become synonymous with Santa Claus. That too corroded from a phrase about Christ, Christkindl – Christ and kindl (child), a German word for Christ child.

All free, great cities had religious centers for residents and sojourners who made pilgrimages to them. Adverse to religion’s international battles, they are excellent factors for harmonizing townspeople. Simple fact is, even the weakened reins of the original Egyptian stories are, if adhered to, successful at curbing everyone’s innate evil.

Dear Christians, I advise you revert to saying Christ-mass instead of Christmas; they’re both disyllabic. Why’d someone feel the need to contract this segregated holy-day? This reminds me of Dr. York questioning why some say that Yashua, the Hebrew root of “Jesus,” is too difficult to pronounce when they easily vocalize Joshua.

If you are a fideist that subscribes to the belief that he is Christ, return that honorific which has been supplanted by the currently unknown Chris. Of course, this raises another issue – the word Christian.

Merry Christ-mass Christ-followers from yours truly, an anti-Chris (in the aforementioned stratagem exclusively).
