Beautiful kitten got some wonderful love before moving on.

That’s what matters

“Yes, I can totally smell that fart…”

any games made before your laptop should work. any of the Myst games or Ultima games…

Bro, this is Dr Seuss. What are you on about?

a fictional, Seussian world where anything is possible. such as one where Christmas exists but “christ” does not.

for christ’s sake, let it go, lol

aww, feels like a lapdance on my heart ❤️

Fibonacci would like a word… ;P

just glad he didn’t translate Wookie grandpa watching VR porn in the living room!

just explained - with many examples - of how that’s not necessarily true.

also, it’s a fictional story about fictional beings in a fictional land. Nothing has to be true here.

You can’t celebrate Christmas without Christianity. It’s in the name.

I’m an atheist, and I celebrate Christmas. no Jesus involved. same for most everyone I’ve ever met.

If the holiday they celebrate is canonically called Christmas, then Christianity has to exist in the universe.

that’s like saying “I invented the light bulb! therefore, if it exists anywhere else in the universe, they stole it from me!”

lots of people invent or discover things simultaneously all over the world, and it’s not until later that we find out. Here’s a whole wiki article about it.

And maybe the story is translated from another language, and the term 'Christmas" was substituted so modern western children would understand the context.

examples:

• Frozen: Reimagines Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Snow Queen,” focusing on sisterly love rather than a quest for a lost love, fitting modern narratives.
• Maleficent: Retells “Sleeping Beauty” from the villain’s perspective, adding complexity and exploring her backstory.
• Hard Candy: A dark modern take on “Little Red Riding Hood,” with a young girl confronting a predator.
• American Gods: Neil Gaiman brings ancient gods into modern America, reflecting cultural shifts and beliefs.

so, the term ‘Christmas’ being used could mean many things-- most of all that you shouldn’t just jump to safe conclusions.

I’m quite certain that if you actually asked Dick van Dyke about this, he’d likely have a similar response, lol

Well, there are no references to Christianity or to Jesus in the film or the book. And Christians only even started celebrating Christmas around the fourth century A.D… Before that, the holiday was a winter harvest festival in many pagan cultures, not to mention the Roman holiday of Saturnalia. But, still, it wasn’t much of a celebrated holiday associated with Christianity until the 18th or 19th centuries.

That’s for Santa? Well that legend has been going on for about as long as Christmas has been, but didn’t really get associated with it much until the early 19th century.

So, there was no who Jesus. But, it’s worth noting, they probably had a Christmas Krampus.

oooh! that makes so much sense!

Oh, is that why my game keeps crashing mid game?

honestly, I don’t know. I’ve never played a civ game is didn’t get hopelessly addicted to, but I haven’t really had the money for it yet. plus it has some DRM bullshit on it, so pirating it isn’t an option (yet).

Oooo! Cyberpunk 2077 and Civ VII are 53% off
