Do you really think it is just a coincidence that the rabbies decided the fact happened at at the same season of the other 600 holidays with similar traditions from different religions?

"Rabbis" Vex, "Rabbis" is the plural of "Rabbi".

Or "Rabbanim" if you're Jewish.

What does it matter to you what anyone believes? Just be happy! What's the point in making everyone else as miserable as you? Chase away those blues!

LOL

It is Holiday Season! Finally!.

As you all should know, the secular types care not about gifts, or chocolate or family dinner but about how to further remove Christianity out of our lives. That's the reason we started saying "Happy Holidays" or "Season's greetings" instead of "merry christmas". That's also the reason we use the word xmas sometimes. It is all part of a plan to remove Christ out of their Christmas.

Thus , as usual this year, I will be recruiting people for the war against Christmas. If you'd like to join, just change your avatar to a holiday themed one that does not say the word "Christ". It does not even have to be specifically "Happy holidays" or have text at all, just make sure not to include the word Christ, a cross or a halo.

Remember: Today Christmas, tomorrow the world!

Meh. You can have the world....

*giggles*

Yes, I have declared a war on Christmas because I observe Yule instead. I get a Yule tree...

And NO Yule is not the same thing as Christmas. Traditions are similar, but it falls on a different day and many do not hand out gifts.

Happy Hanukkah everybody.

You know the story about three little ghosts appearing before atheist Scrooge one night, right?

They didn't decide. Take a look at Josephus, for example.

I tried to add an Avatar picture but it won't let me add one more than 16kb.

That was apocryphal, so it doesn't count.

We can all agree it is quite a big coincidence that the Macaabees uprising happened just around the same time every other cult out there uses to celebrate holidays very similar in concepts to Hanuka. I blame god for this.
