I don't preach against it but we don't celebrate it all that much either. We don't decorate our house, or have or tree, or do any of that other pagan nonsense but, we'll get together with the family and have good fellowship. Lot's of food and fun with the family.
BTW, I know lots of Con's that celebrate Christmas. The reason is this. Dec 25 started out as pagan holiday (winter solstice festival) but the Christians took that day away from them to celebrate it as the birth day of Jesus. It's a little crazy to think that Jesus was actually born on this day but Christmas is celebrated with good intentions. As far as the fat man in red goes, we have nothin' to do with that lie.

I wouldn't say christians took the day away from them but it was more of pagans wanting to be christians but wanted to continue with their pagan worship of the sun god by saying it was to celebrate Jesus birth.

For those who do have fun during the season, we soon will have Christmas smileys available. Choose Thread Tools, and check off Ignore this thread.
Also for the tightwads here, Tina is good at posting some great bargains. I don't worship a tree indoors, but I enjoy fun and food with family and we do open gifts on Dec 24........

TS, I think UltraCon should voluntarily drop the use of the 'ultra' prefix. His acceptance of a well documented pagan-based celebration ritual and his reply containing only a reference to CON (bolded above), not UltraCon, makes his screen name more of an ambition than a reality.
is there anyone who is willing to second this motion?....

Get back on topic, we're suppose to be talking about Christmas. BTW there are many who you'd say are UltraCons that celebrate Christmas.

I'll second it...
Does that mean that I get to be an ultracon?
