Merry Christmas!
Hi Everyone. Can't believe there wasn't already a 'Merry Christmas' thread. So, Merry Christmas! Dec 25 22 04:07 pm Link Merry Christmas to one and all!!!! Dec 25 22 04:31 pm Link Merry Christmas all, and may you all have a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous 2023! Dec 25 22 07:41 pm Link Well, I didn't have to look back too far to find the "Merry Christmas" thread I made last year. I also see, somewhat regrettably, that my pandemic-time boredom attempts to be ironically more ridiculous than those who were doing it unironically, are still hanging out on the first page in SF2.  so.... *bump* Hope everyone is still well, and lurking about. Happy Ho-ho. See ya next year. Dec 18 23 10:36 am Link Merry Christmas to all and happy holidays to those celebrating other holidays Dec 18 23 11:20 am Link Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all. And Happy New Year to this unsettled worldl Dec 18 23 01:39 pm Link Merry Christmas everyone! Hope Santa brings you all the gear of your dreams! Dec 18 23 04:34 pm Link Christmas is just a few days away. Using the Julian calendar which is based off the Roman calendar, anyone care to guess why December 25th was chosen to be the birth date of Christ? I have by own guess but would like to hear others. Dec 21 23 11:50 am Link Possibly 18+ (I don't think it is but with all of the puritan rules that have recently been put in place I'm gonna be on the safe side) https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/1 … d236_m.jpg Dec 21 23 02:26 pm Link rxz wrote: [EDIT] Just forget the boring historical explanation...

I agree we can credit the Christian's messiah's birth date to the Roman's Saturnalia holiday. Saturnalia was to celebrate the winter solstice in the Northern hemisphere for the daylight to start getting longer and the end the hibernation of nature and the rebirth of planting and a new season of crops. The early believers in Christ realized he was a spiritual leader and not a political leader as viewed by the Jewish term Messiah. So celebrating Christ during the Roman Saturnalia holiday allowed them to blend in versus standing out. Eventually an early Christian Pope recognized Dec 25th as Christ's birthday since it tied in with the rebirth of nature. Dec 24 23 04:19 pm Link

Jesus is the Greek form of the Hebrew Joshua. So His name in Hebrew was Joshua.

The Bible is an interesting book of stories. Dec 26 23 03:50 pm Link Weldphoto wrote: rxz wrote: Both INCORRECTLY quote me as supposedly saying...
