Comical but messed up!!

[TootsSUT]

Okay America, we got some learning to do here!!

The story formally known as Twas The Night Before Christmas:

Twas the night before a non denominational winter holiday when all through the house
not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
(Don't you dare kill it!!)
The neutral gift sacks were hung by the chimney with care
in hopes that a non-specific holiday figure would soon be there.
Children of every race, creed and nationality were resting all snug in their beds
while visions of sugar-free plums danced in their heads
when out on the lawn there rose such a clatter
I got up out of bed to see what was the matter
(and to see who was violating the neighborhood sound level ordinance).
But what to my wondering eyes did appear?
An emissions free vehicle and eight sized challenged reindeer.
'Holiday figure' was so lively and quick.
I knew in a moment it must be, well, holiday figure.
He had a broad but normal face and an advanced sized belly
and he laughed "lady of the evening, lady of the evening, lady of the evening!!"
(we can't even say "Ho, Ho, Ho" anymore!!)

Heelloooo??? His name is Santie Claus and he cracks deer with a horse whip, breaks in to people's houses, drinks rum and eggnog and looks like Uncle Jesse from Dukes of Hazard!!! Get over it!!

Try it, you could always fire him.

Who gives a flying fu@# what Christmas trees meant to some freeks hundreds of years ago and who gives a rats ass about where the idea for Santa Claus came from. For over 200 years Christmas, with Santa and Jesus, has been an American Tradition. If you don't like it, get the hell out and go back to your great 3rd world country.

A friend of mine in highschool did a fascinating piece on the origins of Holiday decoration. It was very interesting.

Now that's some funny sh!t right there!

You are an original. Yeah, I knew what you were saying - but you CAN'T avoid the all-pervasive lib media and MUST have a good working knowledge of history and the Constitution to avoid BELIEVING their drivel! They repeat the phrase "seperation of church and state" in the same sentence with the words U.S. Constitution so often that in a recent poll, I think it was about 90% of respondants thought the phrase WAS PART of the Constitution!!! Of course, I know you knew better and that was just a typo....

Oh my loving god!! I walked out back to my trees last night, a lightning bolt struck 2 feet from me, a majority of people were standing around watching (one of them was from the HOA!) and, a very shy but somewhat noticeable spotted owl was peeking through one of the branches at me!!

OH Alec, you have shown me the light!!!

I was joking about the whole thing I am not even close to being religious and could care less about god, the devil, santa or any of them.

I do believe in the mythical being known as the Supreme Hummer Lord though </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Three words. "I LOVE YOU!!!!"

Oh sorry, and, "THANK GOD!!"

How do you figure that Santa is a religous symbol? He is associated with Christmas but most people know that he is the "commercial" part of Christmas. You and your PC idiots need to take a long walk on a short plank. How many people do you know that decorate their neighbors house?

[H2Finally]

I'm gonna jump in for some fun here

While Santa can be considered a positive tradition (because it at least encourages good behavior from children), that borders on cultural for many Western societies -- it is not religious (because it motivates with materialistic instead of spiritual rewards; akin to 'praying for wealth' ).

Many Christians go as far as to consider Santa a tradition which undermines and distracts from the birth of Christ -- resulting in Christmas being the only birthday where everyone except the birthday Boy gets the present & attention...

S A N T A --> scrambled --> S A T A N Coincidence? You decide

Apperantly you can get away with "Santa`s Booty Call" in some school libraries.

Because of Santa's commercial aspect, most religions celebrate him for the kids. He is a symbol of the human spirit IMO. The holiday decorations will continue to be part of our spirit no matter the religion, they are just pretty.


Separation of church and state is mandatory and is clearly stated in the Constitution. Christian symbols continue to be displayed in this country's monuments and federal establishments. However, the values upon which those establishments were built were derived from the fundaments of Christianity. I view them not as a threat to that separation but as a historical display.

I am not a "churchy" person, I am more scientific, but I certainly believe that the values taught by that particular religion among others, are truths for a civilized conglomerated society. So I don't have a problem with any of those displays, or any display for that matter. I am not easily influenced by things of that nature so I don't feel it a threat to my belief system.

PS- Everybody wang-chung tonight.

Whoa! Wait a minute. I think Ed and Paragon misunderstood my post. I was just commenting to Alec's post where he said "What right do people have to force their holiday beliefs at me". I was explaining that the original origins of both decorating a tree and Santa Claus originaly had (past tense) nothing to do with a religion. I thought that it was ironic that it has turned in to a religious symble and now people are upset about it.

Ed, I do like the tradition as is obvious by my original comical (and sarcastic) post. Maybe I wasn't so clear about that when I wrote my second post or maybe you thought I was someone else when you read the post.

Paragon, I'm going to assume (you know what that means and I hope that's not the case! ) that you were being funny. No fire included with my sex dances. Sorry! And, no, I'm not a pagan!

Co-Pilot, what was your friend's findings? Seriously, I'm curious!! This kinda stuff intrigues me.
