you know this question actually, strangely makes you think. my theory is that christmas was always around as a consumer holiday and it's just a coincidence that the Son's last name was Christ.

GREAT question sheeplover the
answer is this. Christmas was
first all about presents and
what not...... Then it so
happened that Jesus was born
on that day. You know G-d
figured that would be a good
day for my son on the gift
giving holiday and it just got
even more popular since Jesus
was born on that day as well.
Of course I am a Jew so what
do I know..... Of course I did
not say the hell with Jesus
like a certain person did at

[Pootertoot]

TooCute told me you asked her this on Sunday morning and I've been thinking about it ever since. Here's my theory:

Santa existed before Jesus. We all think that St. Nicholas is the origin of Santa, but it's quite obvious that the REAL Santa isn't St. Nick. So we'll throw that out the window. Maybe Santa Claus has been around for forever, and before Jesus came along, Xmas was HIS holiday.

After all, you never see the two together, nor do you hear them talking about each other. You'd think Santa would mention Jesus now and again, but he never does. So maybe Santa holds a grudge against Jesus, because Jesus is supposed to be the son of god and thefore could have chosen ANY day to be born, but he fucked with Santa. And nobody fucks with the Santa. Santa just delivers to Christian kids now to win them back.

That still, however, doesn't explain how they could celebrate CHRISTmas. I can only assume Santa's real name is Chris.

Or Jesus is really the son of Santa.

Wait, that would work. When you think of god, what do you think of? Big guy with a white beard. Where'd you get that image from?

SANTA! That's who. What do you think Santa does those other 364 days a year? He's the omnipotent omnibenevolent master of the universe.

How's that?

[HordeKing1]

With the advent of Christianity about a century and a half after Christ's death, the religion spread like crazy, mostly by conquest, but by prosthelization as well.

Most Christian holidays have a corresponding pagan holiday. In other words, December 25 was a pagan holiday. The conquerers felt it easier to take over the date already being celebrated and just switch holidays.

Christianity borrowed many images from other cultures such as the halo from Egypt, the image of God as a bearded old man, from Roman statues and paintings of Zues. I can't think of any others off the top of my head but there are quite a few.

A friend of mine (a minister) told me that the Christian bible points to Jesus' birthday being in APRIL not December.


As to the original question, Flintstones celebrate Christmas b/c when they went to the future with the Jetsons, they learned all about religious holidays. The Flintstones sezied on an opportunity to take a day off!

[Dudeman]

seriously, jews (of which i am one) refer to BC as BCE (Before Common Era.) how retarded is that.

as for the flinstone - christ issue. i don't think it will be easy to answer, but neither is figuring out the meaning of life. i think the two questions maybe inherently related.

WEll the Jetsons theory is wrong...the First Christmas that happened on the Flintsones aired in 1964 when Fred saves christmas...and the Jetsons were not introduced to the Flintstones until 1988. So it seems like we are back to the original question again.

The answer is that since the Flintstones existed before Jesus could sacrifice himself to save us from original sin, they are now burning eternally in Hell. And you know a fat guy like Fred sizzles nice and juicy, just like bacon.

I thought the earth blew up before The Jetsons?

If that's the case, would the Flintstones be on a different planet?

[ozzie]

Not to get this thread off on a tangent, but did they ever show The Jetsons actually walking on the surface of The Earth? I wasn't the biggest fan, but all I remember, is seeing them in hovering/flying buildings or ones up on high stilts, or on other planets. I was just wondering what (if anything) was going on down there.

And btw, this thread has made an otherwise boring day at work, tollerable! Thanks all!

Nope, the Jetsons were only seen in the sky, on space stations, and sometimes on other planets, but never Earth. Perhaps they had something to flee?

This of course means the inevitable. A madhouse...a planet where apes evolved from men?!?! A PLANET OF THE APES.
