There will be no more christmas from this year on.

All of the kids in the world mourn Santa's death.

Parents all over the world rejoice.

WTF? Christmas (Christ Mass, a mass is a Catholic Church celebration) is Jesus's freaking B-day. --Oh your'e not serious Nvm lol *insert joke here*

Clearly photoshopped D:

Christmas is nearly entirely Pagan; the only aspect that Christianity can hold a claim to is the fallacy that it has anything to do with Christ's birthday

And we all know that Santa would beat Jesus in a sumo match.

"Christmas is nearly entirely Pagan"

What's interesting is that Catholic holidays were placed over pagan holidays -- sneaky though I guess effective.

Good thing that it isn't Santa who brings the presents in my home country, so I don't care XD

Ah yes, lots of christmas trees and snow in the middle east. As Aijin says, nearly all of the imagery is pagan.

Co-opting existing pagan holidays, then having the gall to criticize people who "forget" that christmas is supposed to be about jesus, i love it.

How off all the imagery is in a country like Australia in the middle of summer is even more amusing.

That's what happens when your religion is persecuted and needs to celebrate in secret. =)

You know who else Jesus killed...

I feel bad, the idea of Christianity co-opting pagan holidays to ease conversion is well-known at this point, but I don't care enough to really read up on it, plus to me 'pagan' is a meaningless term that 'Christian' easily folds into.

Ohh, I get it. "Pope Julius I chose December 25. It is commonly believed that the church chose this date in an effort to adopt and absorb the traditions of the pagan Saturnalia festival...

By holding Christmas at the same time as traditional winter solstice festivals, church leaders increased the chances that Christmas would be popularly embraced, but gave up the ability to dictate how it was celebrated."

From the first link: "Christians had little success, however, refining the practices of Saturnalia. As Stephen Nissenbaum, professor history at the University of Massachussetts, Amherst, writes, “In return for ensuring massive observance of the anniversary of the Savior’s birth by assigning it to this resonant date, the Church for its part tacitly agreed to allow the holiday to be celebrated more or less the way it had always been.” The earliest Christmas holidays were celebrated by drinking, sexual indulgence, singing naked in the streets (a precursor of modern caroling), etc."

Also, I was just reading about the joke, "Easter has been canceled. They found the body."

I hope I'm not the only one that is an idiot when it comes to talking religion.

Nude carolling needs to make a comeback!

It sounds so much like a Chuck Norris joke that it's hilarious.
