Will it qualify as a Christian drinking question.

"On the first day of Christmas my true love asked of me...the Pagan origins of Christmas."
On the second day of Christmas, my true love asked of me..Thomas Nast's etchings and the pagan origins of Christmas."

Too many times. By time December the 25th actually gets here most sane people will have left until afterwards to ask each other what they recieved, and if it is a sinful gift or not.
Like is the vibrator that my husband gave me for Christmas a sin to use during foreplay?
Or is the threesome that I arranged for on Christmas Eve a breaking of the sacrament of our marriage although we both "agreed?"
If some of use don't leave before than than we'll have bald patches all over our heads, and broken moniters sitting on our desk, because we ripped out our hair, and smashed our heads into the computer screen for seeing that question pop the whole time.
Check out the Holidays category, and see how many times the question "Christmas?" comes up, or "What do I get so and so for Christmas?" No interest, not even a favorite color. Hell people you know them, we don't. Pretty much bet there's an 80% greater chance that the one they will get will be better.
Sheesh.

I don't think they'll ask about the origins - most questions are "Why do atheists and pagans celebrate Christmas? It's the birth of Christ!"
I've even seen one person say that pagans were copying early Christians and invented Yule, Saturnalia, and Solstice (despite historical evidence that these predate Christianity).

You'll hear about it every time a Christian posts a question criticizing non-Christians for celebrating the holiday.
Hey...at least people are starting to be educated about the holiday's origins.

I predict at least 100 more times.
I think it has already qualified as a drinking question.

Well, technically, your question is about that subject. So, how many times counting your question about the Pagan origins of Christmas? and since I just asked that, are we counting my question about it? or this question? or this one?
I know! An indefinite number

Several times a day. It's a great foil for the anti-Christmas tree crowd. Most of them don't know that we hijacked the tree from the pagans.

Since I've already seen at least 20 questions and I'm not on here that frequently I'm going to guess if someone were to search for questions, they would find by 12/25 at least 500 questions on this topic.

it doesn't matter, CHRISTMAS is NOT MENTIONED ONE TIME IN THE BIBLE....it is a manmade holiday, and besides it is now totally commercialized with everyone trying to get the biggest and the most and the best......LOVE the CHRISTMAS spirit!!! Look at all the Christians shoving and pushing each other out of the way to get to the next big sale...all the time their mini vans sit in the parking lot of Sears plastered with their Jesus fish.....this is truly what I wanna teach my kids.....(nausea)

70 X 7, like it says in The Bible, I am afraid.
I say it qualifies as a double drinking question.
I don't give a rip when Jesus was born. He was born! JMO, of course......
