And a One Horse Open Sleigh

Most people recently try to be politically correct by saying 'Happy Holidays' but I don't give a damn since the origins of this holiday period can be traced to Christianity. So here's wishes from an apathetic Christian,


Merry Christmas to you all! God Bless!


Hope you have achieved all your goals this year. No matter how this year has treated you, we can all say au revoir to it, not look back, and do it better in '07.

Origins of celebration on Dec. 25th stem from different cultures and religions. Do a little research and you'll realize I'm right...unless you go researching the bible...

Notice that I didn't say its origins are exclusively traced to Christianity. I did not use the word 'only'.

Christmas or Christmas Day is an annual holiday that marks the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. Christmas combines the celebration of Jesus' birth with various other traditions and customs, many of which were influenced by ancient winter festivals such as Yule[1] and Saturnalia. Christmas traditions include the display of Nativity scenes and Christmas trees, the exchange of gifts and cards, and the arrival of Father Christmas (Santa Claus) on Christmas Eve. December 25 as a birthdate for Jesus is merely traditional, and is not widely considered to be his actual date of birth.[2] Christmas is celebrated in most countries around the world, owing to the spread of Christianity and Western culture.
