Xmas idiocy
Quote | Reply
I didn't know that:

"The Twelve Days of Christmas, also known as Twelvetide, is a festive Christian season celebrating the Nativity of Jesus Christ. In most Western ecclesiastical traditions, "Christmas Day" is considered the "First Day of Christmas" and the Twelve Days are 25 December – 5 January, inclusive."

I thought it was the 12 days leading up to Xmas but apparently that time is something called Advent.....

So now our Xmas crap is going to stay up into January. Merry fucking Xmas.

My wife grew up decorating for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving. By the 1st or 2nd we're itching to get all the decorations taken down.

Ahhh yeah, the christian season of Christmas is from Christmas Day Dec 25 until Epiphany Jan. 5 which is the celebration of the arrival of the 3 kings (although not there actual arrival date). Thats why most christians will keep the decorations up till Jan 5th. The Santa crowd burns the tree the night of Dec 25th I believe.

But yes in the Catholic church the 4 weeks before are the Season of Advent.

Don't forget about the 'Christmas in July' events being held at the local car dealerships. That's how the 3 wise men scored such good deals on their donkeys. Merry Fricken Christmas to you all.

I'm just glad that Trump finally won the war on Christmas so we can bring the troops home and hand control back to the elves.

Given the use of “Merry fucking Xmas”, you either aren’t a Christian or don’t take it seriously. So why would you feel the need to leave your stuff up?

If you think the idea of leaving things up was my idea let me introduce you to my wife....
