Seriously.
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?

Atheist too, but then I still can be able to convey the message to
wish for everybody a Merry Xmass?
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.
