Christmas was probably started by a racist murderer as well...

(no I am not talking about Jesus because Jesus didn't invent Christmas)

I agree with Cloud, Bruce, and everyone else that is on that boat.

Did you know that Jesus and Santa never even met??



Also, Santa's suit is only red because the Coca-Cola logo is red, and Rudolph was a Montgomery Ward ad campaign. Look it up. Good thing no one else has ever tried to make money off of holidays, right?


Yes, Kwanzaa is completely fabricated and bastardized from a bunch of different sources that have no real connection to each other. And the only way it is any different from other holiday "traditions" is it was made up relatively recently in 1966. Give it another couple hundred years, and people will be bitching about some newfangled holiday that doesn't have nearly the gravitas and importance of, say, Kwanzaa.


Hmm...

somebody didnt look it up, its actually a coincidence that coke's colors and santas were the same.

Eventually every minority group will have it's own version of Christmas.

That's fine. I'll still be piss drunk and wishing you all a merry Christmas.
