Merry Christmas to you too.
And happy holidays to everyone who has other traditions! 
And if this is what we got in 2011 with the list, imagine what 2012
will be.

Merry Christmas to all! And Happy Holidays to those that don't
observe Christmas or otherwise don't want to hear it.
Alas, what happened to the good old days when we could do
something as simple as wishing others MC on this mailing list
without the list nazis getting their noses pushed out of shape?

Its not about christ anyway, its some pagan
ritual of like couple thousand year ago that
us "pagans" used to have, 2 weeks of
celebrations before turning to work again,
before we where mandatory converted into
christians. Oh, we had some rituals... lets
put those in some biblical context... so we
move the village tree from the outside into
our houses, let them have a small stable
with child Jesus in it and then its
sanctioned... and that 2 weeks, let cut off
every time a day or so, so it gets shortened
to a day. But Jesus was actually born
somewhere in spring.... if one would believe
the scientist who researched the whole
bunch, for the population count Maria was
traveling for was then, not in winter. and
oops, where off a couple years as well...
should be like 2006 right now, or 2015,
nobody knows exactly. The Apostles didn't
learn to write till 65 AD or some.
Well, back to the pagan rite, it was mostly
to celebrate the midwinter turn, as from now
the days become longer (on northern half of
the world anyway). Yeah, yeah, that was the
21st... more influence from those Christian
church.
All of the sudden, the whole Christmas isn't
about Christ, or about pagan rites.... or
w/e. Its all make-believe.
The wishes? its just wishing ppl to have a
good time during those days. Thats bout it.
If you feel offended by it, one should get
some dose of humor for those ppl that in the
past couldn't seem to get it right.
so far we got:
- Birth of christ: off by at least 3 months
- pagan winter solstice rite, off for bout 4
days.
- ehm? whats left? getting together and
having a good time.
Now, again: Merry Christmas
And if you have read above, you know I dont
mean it offending. I just wish you a good
time for a specific time period. Thats bout
it. You reading more into it is more you
then anything else.
/me hides for all those Christians that
didn't read up their rituals.
