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.

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?....
