unformed 0 #1 December 15, 2006 Many and many year ago, in a kingdom in the north, before Jesus was born, and Buddha was born, and Mohammed was born, there were the pagans, scorned. During these time the people of Siberia put evergreen trees in their houses as hope for the future months. As it was far far too cold to be outside, it was also a time to be close to one's family. As traditions came and went, the winter became a time to spend with loved ones, to remember the past, and to look forward to the future. Then Jesus came along and was crucified. The people of his time decided to use the winter traditions as a way to remember his life and as a way to have hope for the Second Coming, and so began to call the 25th Christmas, or 'More Christ', for our non-Spanish-speaking friends. And hence, Jesus stole Christmas.This ad space for sale. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The suffix -mas evolved from the Old English word maesse meaning "festival" or "feast day" Right, but the Old English word stems from the Spanish word because festivals and feasts are all about "more". Back in those days the Spanish were very powerful and had big feasts with lots of food and drink, and so the from that the Spanish word "mas" turned into the English suffix "-mas" for festival/feast.This ad space for sale.

SpeedRacer 1 #7 December 15, 2006 Jesus is Christ. Christ-Mass. December 25th. used when the roman empire swapped it in for Saturnalia. solstice is December 20 or 21. anyway, who gives a shit? If you love Jesus, you will celebrate his birth. Even if it didn't happen on Dec 25, that's when you celebrate it. Get used to it. That's the way it is. If you don't like it, stuff it up your ass sideways & have your own holiday. It's a free country, but you don't have the right NOT to be offended.
