As requested I will post this one.

"It is a good idea to celebrate Yule, not only because it is a festival far older than any existing religions or their holidays, and that any original supernatural elements are largely forgotten, nor that it celebrates something real, the motions of the earth and their ecological importance, nor that it fills the real need for cheer in the season of S. A. D. when many people need comfort and community because of the low light levels. But you should do it mainly, because it really p###es the Christians off. !!!"

As a single person these days I have nothing to celebrate. As one former gf told me once I could buy myself a present, put it under the tree, and pretend I did not know what tit was until I opened it. No thanks. I'm OK.

The great thing about living alone is that you can do just what you like all year.

Well now you have given me a great idea.
I will get some 'white-out' and erase the crappy Merry Xmas message in every card, replace it with " Have a Warm and Loving Yule, then post as many as possible to every Godster in town and sign them " from Ulrik Neingott."

Good idea. Though you can buy none religious cards from the Humanists association here in the UK, you may be able to as well.

I mean Hinduism is older than it by at least a thousand years

@Gwendolyn2018 a Google search said they have many winter holidays. I only made my comment because he said "Yule" was far older than any religions or their holidays.

@Gwendolyn2018 no shit

Yes. I meant the mid winter celebration in general, rather than the North European specifically, though I used that name. But ten out of ten credit to you for raising an interesting point.

@Gwendolyn2018 Sorry I perhaps have a more positive view of Tejases conmment than that, I think that he was just adding a little nuance. But please both of you, don't foget that I posted this under Silly Random and Fun.

@Gwendolyn2018 no shit? Is that better? I tend to not take things too serious, it seemed as if you were typing to me as if i were a child. Hints my original "no shit"

@Gwendolyn2018 no shit really?

Ah revelry. Xtians only enjoy themselves when they can spoil the fun for everybody.

Isn’t pissed off their natural state?

Yes but "really pissed off", is a whole notch higher. LOL

No, not exactly, more like self-deluded and suffering imaginary persecution.
