Oh! Now someone has to write a !A Christmas Carol"inspired BBM fan fic

I'd be surpized if it hadn't been done already.
I think in the very faaaar back of my mind I might have read about such a story, ages ago.



To bring this thread back on topic, well kind of:
I don't think there's anything about Christmas that irks me. I truly love it.
Okay, there's one thing, but it really hasn't anything to do with the holiday itself: it irks me when I see chocolate Nikoläuse (Santas) and Lebkuchen (sort of gingerbread) in the shops in - August! :o
Yes, I've seen them in the last week of August. That's insane.

There's also one about the Twelve Days Of Christmas.


Trying to get the curve back to topic once more ( ::) at me ;)): I'll look for it, and you can look for the Silver Bells link (I'm sure Monika is interested) and we open a new thread in the FF section. Sounds good?


Edit:
Here's the new thread about Christmas themed fanfiction: http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,48384.0.html

--- End quote ---

I certainly don't call it Christmas.  But as was pointed out earlier, you try to call it something else - because as you said it's all about the paganism and not Jesus - people get called out on the floor by conservatives who've appropriated all the pagan-ness and want others to call it that, whether we want to or not.
