I really do.
As I type we have 22 minutes of Christmas left in the UK. I doubt very much that in that remaining 22 minutes we'll learn the true message of Christmas...
...Oh well, perhaps next year.

BOND Says 'No' to Kwanzaa! Launches 'Merry Christmas!' Not 'Happy Kwanzaa!' Campaign

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 5 /Christian Wire Service/ -- Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson, author of the book, SCAM: How the Black Leadership Exploits Black America, which was just released in paperback, is trying to educate Americans that Kwanzaa (celebrated Dec. 26- Jan. 1) is not a legitimate holiday, it is a platform for racial hatred which was started in America by a Marxist ex-con who served four years in prison for torturing two women.
"Kwanzaa is not a legitimate holiday; it is a subversive black nationalist movement designed to create racial separatism and hatred. It is one of the biggest scams being perpetrated on black Americans," says Rev. Peterson.
In 1966, Ron Karenga, the leader of United Slaves Organization, a Marxist "black power" group, created Kwanzaa to help blacks get in touch with their African roots.
Rev. Peterson says, "Marxist Karenga's Kwanzaa celebration is really a banquet of socialism, worship of false gods and Afrocentrism. The Kwanzaa pledge of allegiance is a perfect example of racial hatred and black separatism:
"We pledge allegiance to the red, black and green, our flag, the symbol of our eternal struggle, and to the land we must obtain; one nation of black people, with one God of us all, totally united in the struggle, for black love, black freedom and black self-determination."
Rev. Peterson adds, "This is not a celebration of African harvest; it is a political statement for the establishment of a black nation and racial hatred against whites."
According to the BOND website, Karenga explained the holiday as follows: "People think it's African but it is not. I came up with Kwanzaa because black people wouldn't celebrate it if they knew it was American. Also, I put it around Christmas because I knew that's when a lot of Bloods would be partying."
Kwanzaa has been widely promoted in our culture; President George W. Bush even issued a proclamation celebrating Kwanzaa in 2002.
Rev. Peterson points out, "Most whites are fearful of telling the truth about Kwanzaa because they're labeled racist, anti-black and intolerant. Hate-filled men like Ron Karenga have used this bogus holiday to bash Christmas and preach anti-white views. The 'Merry Christmas!' Not 'Happy Kwanzaa!' Campaign is designed to expose the falsehoods of Kwanzaa and defend the celebration of Christmas."

You, goof! You'd wish a Pagan a Blessed Solstice or Merry Yule or Happy Saturnalia. The *X* in Xmas is just Greek for Christos. Xmas is modern shorthand for Christmas, it doesn't in any way take Jesus out of the mix or belittle the religion. Sheesh. I'm amazed at how many Xians don't know that.

Thank the gods for me for letting the days get longer again. May your crops be fertile and may your sheepskin chaps go unstained for many moons...

I've read up on your religion but it's been a long time.

> I just can't quit the sheepskin chaps... The funny thing is I only mentioned it because of some goofball comedy I saw as a kid where "the pagans" showed up for a celebration and it was a bunch of people running around in sheepskin chaps and viking helmets. If I could remember more details I guarantee some of you would remember the movie. It had a couple big names in it like John Candy or Dan Akroyd.
Now when I hear pagans mentioned I can't help but see this image first before logic kicks in and I see a biker gang...
Then I slap myself and see TR1 telling me to knock it off.

I seem to recall they rapped for the theme song. Hanks says "A Tower of Power!" at one point.
Chuck Norris has never rapped. Any rhymes are unintentional.

That video took me places I hadn't been since it was new.
Unbelievable... I'm speechless.

Wow, you'd think that Tom Hanks with all this "Hollywood Muscle" would have had this thing suppressed. I'm sure when he views this now he must feel the same way I do when the parents run the old Super 8 movies of my childhood Christmas plays. Yikes.
