… and celebrates the festivil of lights?
Im just wondering as you see all these santa hats, but no menoras.
By the way, im catholic, so if you think im jewish, im not, but i have a good friend that is, thats also y im asking.
Religion + Threads + RPGC = bad. Not to mention it’s not really any of your business what our religions are, if we even have one.
well then i say, because of all the santa hats seen in rpgc, that you all are endorceing that as a religion ( even though its not)
Santa isn’t a religion. People are wearing santa hats because of the time of the year.
Christmas isn’t a religion, and besides - Christmas in and of itself is not representative of any religion. No longer does Christmas represent the birth of christ as much as it represents a time of peace and love amongst ones fellow man, where people are nice to each other for no reason at all (even thought it should be that way in the first place).
Cidolfas is jewish.
Wait, what do you mean it’s not? What am I going to tell my kids, then?!
What are you gonna tell your kids?
Why, 'Twas the night before Christmas! When all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter’s nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
“Now, dasher, dancer, prancer and vixen!
On, comet on cupid on donder and blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!”
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes – how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
“Happy Christmas to All, and to All a Goodnight!”
falls asleep half-way through. Sorc stinks as a storyteller
Hey, I know where you live.
…Sorta. But I’m sure I could find out.
I know a few Jewish people, and they celebrate Christmas as well as the festival of lights. Christmas is not really considered a religious event anymore, and people of all races/relgions/ideologies come together to celebrate it.
After I take over the world, I’m going to make commercialization of Christmas illegal, so things get back to normal.
I kinda like this version better…
Twas the night before Christmas
when all through the house
Everybody was stoned
even the mouse
Man from the courthouse
and me from jail
I just settled down
to get a piece of her tail
When all of a sudden
I heard such a clatter
I tripped on my dick
and busted my bladder!!
I went downstairs
and what did I see?!
A fat little red fagget
hangin from a tree
He stuffed the stockings
with reefers and beer
And a big fat hairy dick
for the family queer
That’s the end of my story
Funny wasn’t it, ya see?
She didn’t even…
She didn’t see my thing behind ya
leave ya for this private eye
I was there to give’em near to my
zima zima mommy fah
I’m gonna say this
hope it don’t offend ya

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ahhhh ahhhhhhhh
Chevy took my brain

Yeah. I bet Muslims in Iran celebrate Christmas… >.>
“Hey, since when is Christmas just about presents? Aren’t we forgetting the true meaning of this day – the birth of Santa?” - Bart
Anyway, I’m torn on the issue. On the one hand, I see the good of Secular Christmas: goodwill towards men, giving gifts, etc. However, I also don’t like the secularization of really any religious holiday. I think some European countries have our equivalent of Christmas gift giving on New Years Day. I like that idea better.
One thing people really don’t realize is that Chanukah is the LEAST important holiday in the Jewish calendar (not to mention the most recent). The only reason people know about it is because of the time of year it falls out on. The “celebrations”, at least among Orthodox Jews, are limited to ten minutes of singing a night plus some extra prayers.
As for all the Christmas stuff, I’m more nauseated than offended… all the sweet stuff does get to you after a while, especially considering that whatever Christmas used to be, it’s now just an excuse for people to sell other people things, often accompanied by very annoying music. But I don’t begrudge anyone their fun; if for one day a year people can actually think about being nice to one another, I’m all for it.
Just as an aside, one year I spent Christmastime in Israel and you’d never know it happened. 
That was pretty cool for me.

You can help by surrendering your shoes.
See, Hiryuu, I did that as a joke. I actually hate the Easter Bunny more than Santa.
