irony_chan posted in her
get_medieval comic that she'd made a Christmas card "for anybody who doesn't like getting religion in their christmas", I was convinced that it was ironic. I mean, user name, and all that.
And then one user commented on that card saying "Happee holidayes" and how "holidays" was, after all, religious too: "But I did think the point was a card that got religion out of christmas."
*blink*
Look, I'm not a religious zealot or anything. Really. But... getting religion out of CHRISTmas seems a bit of an impossible mission to me in the first place.
(Yes, I know how it's meant. It's just a little pointless, isn't it? Either you don't celebrate Christmas but something else, like Yule or Hannukah or whatever that coincidentally takes place around the same time, which, however, is religious too. Or you celebrate Christmas even though you're strictly non-Christian, which sounds a bit pointless to me [simply because of the name], but hey, to each their own. Still, in that case people usually call it "holidays". Because you know what? Sending festive cards for no reason at all isn't all that common. - You should simply take over the German word for "holidays", that's what you should do. It's Feiertage. feiern means "to celebrate", Tage means days. Feiertage, the days that you celebrate. No religion in that!)
You know something really pointless? Now I want to make Elvish holiday cards. *facepalms*
... I guess EƤrendil or Maglor or Daeron or Maglor/Daeron could work.
