Cloud Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Sunday 16th December will be Kilau's Non-Denominational Winter Extravaganza!I can never understand why people bother to say things like "Non-Denominational Winter Extravaganza" when all people and religions seem quite content to use the word "Christmas". Of course, Christians seem ashamed to for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, Christians seem ashamed to for some reason.Er, not to make this thread into a discussion about religion that should really be elsewhere, but christians are the only ones who actually have the concept of christmas. So other religions wouldn't use it as they don't celebrate it. The clue's in the name you see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

News to me, I know plenty of non-Christians that happily celebrate Christmas for what it is - a time to get together with their families and give presents. It seems to be only Christians that think that others don't celebrate it, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be loads of non-christian aethists (like myself), or people who define themselves as religious but don't actually practice it, that celebrate it by taking a week off work, getting drunk, eating loads and swapping presents but that's just because they like to party rather than celebrate the birth of Christ.

Guest idol_wild Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Are Kartta not having a shot?Sadly not, it would seem. After our last shambolic performance in Kilau, the general consensus amongst the guys is that we're leaving the "acoustic" (we never did use an acoustic guitar!) well and truely alone.Pity. I'd have loved to give it a shottie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
