Could be a reference to some daredevil thing like that that they were into the middle ages.

Most people imagine boys leap frogging. I think of it as ten solemn gentlemen from the House of Lords in powdered wigs leaping for your spouse's amusement. Which just doesnt compute.

Well that's not fair, Hinduism has like a thousand festivals, they just all last one day. In Islam Ramdan goes on for ages but the late night food is awesome. Christmas is not a one day festival it is the Season of Advent. Certainly there is a retail aspect to Christmas but I'm not much of a grinch about it, I always find the decorations to be pretty good.

IIrc the 'season of advent' used to at least be confined to just December.

We appreciate your gesture, making room for others at this time of year. After all if everyone got in...would anyone really want to go there?

May I suggest an alternative such as a Hindu heaven? Spicy huh? Or R'lyeh perhaps? Dreamy.

Either way, we are ready to X you out of X-mas and sincerely thank you for your sacrifice at this time. I hear Islam is looking to expand it's market, or Scientology...? :lol:
Christmas is a secular holiday. The meaning of Christmas? Gifts and family reunions. Tons of atheists celebrate "Christmas", as in take this time of the year to share with family and spend money like pigs. The spirit of Christmas? To make stores move from red to black. (Ever heard of "black" Friday?). It is good for the economy hence why stores advertise for everyone, and not just Xtians.

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!


I'd like to think that you're either serious or joking, but I think instead that you have managed to be joking seriously or to be serious jokingly.

Merry Christmas to my fellow Christians, Happy belated Chanukah to all my Jewish friends, and happy bickering for everyone who just wants to bicker.

"Did somebody come and shake them?"
reads the closed-captioning, and O'Reilly is holding his hands like he's cupping something.
What popped into my head?
The Jockey 'bell ringing' advert.

Here is the original blasphemous Christmas assault on Santa

And, she wants Santa to be a penguin. Are penguins now flocking to the North Pole? :roll:

You mean that you don't watch Fox News? And here I thought that you were a Conservative.

I liked the special edition of Christmas Evil.
It's obvious that St.Nick is up to no good,why else would anyone be prowling around in houses while people are asleep?If he knows when you are naughty or nice he is most certainly a stalker.

You're missing the bigger picture. It's not the non-Christians screaming about "Merry Christmas," it's the Christians over on Faux News screaming about "Happy Holidays." That's where this whole thread came from, Bill O'Reilly's whining about how secularists are trying to 'take Christmas away' somehow.

Oh...horrible. People wishing others to have "Happy holidays" = "Happy Holy days". It´s absolutely understandable to me, that christian must go on war and scream for blood in the name of the revenging, unforgiving wargod Jesus, when people dare to wish them happy holy days. ^^

Those fundamentalist story about US-christian, are somehow as mixed amusing/scaring of those of some wahabit muslim fundies. ^^

Couldn´t we just move them all in some gathering spot like mojave desert or sahara, and then they could bash themselve about some single letters in words, and all the moderate people could live on in peace and celebrate together their festivities, the way they like it? ^^
