I F**king KNEW It!

Kwanzaa.

Read the true history behind it here.

Now tell me it's a *real* holiday.

  1. Far be it from your blog-son to stir up grief and discontent, but I've seen it many times and ways, so I found a brief summary that ties up lots of the floating ideas up in one tidy article...

    Christmas was invented as well, and not by the first century church of the followers of Christ....

  2. Brief? Are you NUTS?! ;)

    I know Christmas wasn't always celebrated, and that such upstanding people as Oliver Cromwell (shudder) refered to it as pagan and evil, and I don't care.
    It's not important that we don't know the actual birthdate of Christ.
    (The important thing is that He was born (and died) for us all), and it was only natural for Christians to celebrate their holy days on dates of which they were familiar. At least they didn't appear out of place - and placing themselves in possible danger - celebrating at the same time as the pagans, even though they were celebrating for different reasons.

    It's never upset me that Christians integrated pagan festivals into their worship. It may not be in the Bible, but really, Christian tradition far outdates actual Christian scripture anyway.

    Merry X-mass, blog-son o' mine! :)

  4. I'm not sure what "festivus" is, but as it sounds festive, can it be wrong?

  5. in total agreement with you, GB.

    BTW, i know where chem is. i saw him at our graduation tonight. he won an award, outstanding suckup or some such... anyway, i asked if he could come out to play afterwards. he and jillian said no at the same time but he said no with a contented smile whereas she she said (emphatically) hell no, with a predatory gleam in her eye. apparently tonight is also her birthday and there is to be much mandatory washing of the hoohas and tonguing of the naughty bits. i am concerned. he is beginning to look like one of those raggedy assed bucks that screw themselves to the verge of death during the rut, like the ones on mutual of omaha's wild kingdom. as if she hasn't already had it a time or two already today. i have THE FEAR. she will take his head, like a mantis. let us pray....

  6. OMG! May God have mercy on Chem's soul! At least when she takes his head (well, THAT sounded naughty), he'll die happy.

    Congratulations tut, on your graduation, and subsequent enibriation. :)

  10. Now I'm torn between the Pastor of Muppets and the Lady Douchebag. Who to bow to... ;-)

    BTW, I'm glad you like the word verification. This one was "sujjbnz", which in Hindi means, "she whose bosoms reaches to the heavens". Coincidence, Syn? I think not.
