1. What's your favorite Christmas Carol?
Sleigh ride!

2. What's your favorite Christmas Movie?
Hmm, probably Nightmare before Christmas.

3. What's the best Christmas gift you ever received?
Me and my brother got a super nintendo and that was awesome.

4. What's your fondest Christmas memory?
To me, christmas gets better every year, so I guess my fondest memory now is the dinner we had last year.

5. Are you honestly offended when people say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas?
Nope. We don't say any of those in this country, but even if we did, in general - noone would care. A question for the americans, I guess.

6. Were you aware that it wasn't until the latter part of the fourth century that the Roman Church began observing December 25th as Jesus' birthday and that it wasn't until the fifth century that the Church ordered the birth of Jesus to be forever observed on that date and that at the time of this decision the Roman Church knew that the pagan religious cults throughout the Roman and Creek world celebrated the pagan sun god, Mithra on the same day and and that when the Roman Julian Calendar in 46 BC was adopted, December 24th was the shortest day of the year and therefore December 25th was the first annual day that daylight began to increase and thus it was considered the Rebirth of the Sun and that the festival including colored lights (to ward off evil spirits) and gift giving, festive meals and of course decorated trees and that there are at least ten references in the bible warning that these green trees were associated with idolatry and pagan worship and that the alleged claim that Jesus was born on Christmas is false as no Sheppard are roaming the land in the dead of winter and were you also aware that the Scottish church, English church and American puritans all tried to ban Christmas because it's a pagan holiday which is completely true? So in conclusion: in celebrating Christmas you're actually participating in Pagan sacrilege and you're probably going to hell.

I was aware of it (although not every tiny fact), but I'm not religious and so I don't believe the sacrilege and going to hell part.

Some trivia : In Norway, we call christmas "jul" and christmas times for "juletider" .. you english-speakers also have those words, yule and yuletide. They derive from pagan origins.
