Raving Atheists Christmas Thread 2014

[ghoulslime]

Well, boys and girls, it's that magical time of year again, that very Christy Mass season, when we can jingle our jingle bells, strike up those carols of Joy, buy a lot of shit we really can't afford, and smile like we just got molested by one of Santa's reindeer. It is my favorite time of year, and my favorite holiday - four out of five dentists recommend it.

Christmas is about connecting with the past, about finding love in your heart and large balances on your credit cards, and preservation of colorful and glorious mythologies and traditions! We were kind of Grinchy last Christmas on the Raving Atheists Forum. Perhaps we can rekindle the glory of Xmas past.

Angels we have heard while high,
Sweetly singing in our ears!
Leprechauns in reply,
Strain the echo from their rears!

Gloria, in excelsis Leprechauns!
Gloria, in excelsis Leprechauns!

Let's shake the moldy peanuts and jelly beans out of our stockings, and see if we might just find a little bit of Christmas spirit to kindle that twinkling, tingling feeling in our tummies and bummies. Come on, you raving elves, even Hitler has his Tannenbaum decorated in Hell by now, and a nice stylish stocking cap for Osama bin Laden all wrapped up with glorious gold paper with a red bow! Let's get our tidings of great joy rolling!

I should remind you that this Christmas thread is divinely inspired by the leprechauns. This is the only begotten leprechaun thread, a joyous thread, a thread devoted to the love/hate of Xmas, interesting details about the true origins of Xmas, favorite Xmas songs, uplifting Xmas stories, photos of your Xmas tree, stupid shit your relatives do for Xmas, stories of your Xmases past, dirty pictures of Santa, pictures making fun of Mithra's little brother Jesus, etc.

Your letters to Santa might possibly be answered if you post them here.
