Subject: RE: BS: happy holidays my friends From: GUEST,grumpy Date: 22 Dec 12 - 02:18 PM What does 'happy holidays' actually mean? Nobody uses this term when I'm about to head off with the Mrs. for two weeks in Marbella. What's wrong with 'Happy Christmas'? |

Subject: RE: BS: happy holidays my friends From: Dave the Gnome Date: 22 Dec 12 - 07:23 PM "What's wrong with 'Happy Christmas'?" Because it's Hanukkah and Kwanzaa and various pagan dates too at this time of year. Hanukkah, 2012. Begins December 8. Lasts 8 days. Kwanzaa. Observed from December 26 to January 1, held in the United States (and more recently, Canada) but also celebrated in the Western African Diaspora. Christmas. December 25. 1 day. Celebrated bu Christians. So, once again, What's wrong with 'Happy Christmas'? I would not describe myself as a real Christian, even though I was brought up in the Russian Orthodox and Roman Catholic faiths, but I must say that I find this ridiculous observation of so called political correctness quite offensive. Sorry, olddude, I know you are only trying your best and I really don't wish to offend you in any way, but by trying to cover all bases you severely miss them all :-( So I say to you, Happy... Advent: four weeks prior to Christmas (Western Christianity). Saint Nicholas' Day: 6 December Bodhi Day: 8 December - Day of Enlightenment, celebrating the day that the historical Buddha (Shakyamuni or Siddhartha Guatama) experienced enlightenment (also known as Bodhi). Saint Lucy's Day: 13 December - Church Feast Day. Saint Lucy comes as a young woman with lights and sweets. Winter Solstice: 21 December-22 December - midwinter Dongzhi Festival - a celebration of Winter Soyal: 21 December - Zuni and Hopi Yalda: 21 December - The turning point, Winter Solstice. As the longest night of the year and the beginning of the lengthening of days, Shabe Yaldā or Shabe Chelle is an Iranian festival celebrating the victory of light and goodness over darkness and evil. Shabe yalda means 'birthday eve.' According to Persian mythology, Mithra was born at dawn on the 22nd of December to a virgin mother. He symbolizes light, truth, goodness, strength, and friendship. Herodotus reports that this was the most important holiday of the year for contemporary Persians. In modern times Persians celebrate Yalda by staying up late or all night, a practice known as Shab Chera meaning 'night gazing'. Fruits and nuts are eaten, especially pomegranates and watermelons, whose red color invokes the crimson hues of dawn and symbolize Mithra. Mōdraniht: or Mothers' Night, the Saxon winter solstice festival. Saturnalia: the Roman winter solstice festival Pancha Ganapati: Five-day festival in honor of Lord Ganesha. December 21–25. Christmas Eve: 24 December Dies Natalis Solis Invicti (Day of the birth of the Unconquered Sun): late Roman Empire - 25 December Christmas: 25 December Twelve Days of Christmas: 25 December through 6 January Yule: Pagan winter festival that was celebrated by the historical Germanic people from late December to early January. Anastasia of Sirmium Feast Day: 25 December Malkh: 25 December Boxing Day: 26 December - Gift-giving day after Christmas. Kwanzaa: 26 December - 1 January - Pan-African festival celebrated in North America Saint Stephen's Day: 26 December Saint John the Evangelist's Day: 27 December Holy Innocents' Day: 28 December Saint Sylvester's Day: 31 December Watch Night: 31 December New Year's Eve: 31 December - Last day of the Gregorian year Hogmanay: Night of 31 December - Before dawn of 1 January - Scottish New Year's Eve celebration And all those I have missed. Just wish us a happy whatever you celebrate and have done with it so, from the Gnome household, A very Jolly Yachertinbooligronge. DtG |
