1. What's your favorite Christmas Carol?
None
2. What's your favorite Christmas Movie?
A Christmas Story
3. What's the best Christmas gift you ever received?
I don't have a favorite...probably an ipod.
4. What's your fondest Christmas memory?
I don't know, sometime when I was a kid and I actually looked forward to Christmas.
5. Are you honestly offended when people say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas?
I thought Happy Holidays was supposed to be the one that isn't offensive, because it takes in account Hanukah and Kwanza and the others. (and by the way, nice job incorporating the other holidays in December into these questions
).
6. Were you aware that it wasn't until the latter part of the fourth century that the Roman Church began observing December 25th as Jesus' birthday and that it wasn't until the fifth century that the Church ordered the birth of Jesus to be forever observed on that date and that at the time of this decision the Roman Church knew that the pagan religious cults throughout the Roman and Creek world celebrated the pagan sun god, Mithra on the same day and and that when the Roman Julian Calendar in 46 BC was adopted, December 24th was the shortest day of the year and therefore December 25th was the first annual day that daylight began to increase and thus it was considered the Rebirth of the Sun and that the festival including colored lights (to ward off evil spirits) and gift giving, festive meals and of course decorated trees and that there are at least ten references in the bible warning that these green trees were associated with idolatry and pagan worship and that the alleged claim that Jesus was born on Christmas is false as no Sheppard are roaming the land in the dead of winter and were you also aware that the Scottish church, English church and American puritans all tried to ban Christmas because it's a pagan holiday which is completely true? So in conclusion: in celebrating Christmas you're actually participating in Pagan sacrilege and you're probably going to hell.
I think I knew some of this from watching that stupid zeitgist movie.
