Does that mean that I get to be an ultracon?

We'd love to have you as an UltraCon, I can send you a list of requirements if you wish.

P.S. You'll need to get out all of your long sleeve shirts.

They are hanging right next to me on the rack right now.

See... I must have misunderstood... I thought that not doing Christmas was sufficient requirement for being an ultracon.

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.

Perhaps they should work on taking away Samhain next.
After that Beltane would be another good one.
Imbolic would be another good one as well.

That is a good starting list.
Isn't this exciting?
