When people stop buying, they'll stop making it.

What I hate is that people worship Santa Claus, Frosty, and Rudoph but not Christ on Christmas.
People have forgotten the reason for the season. I guess you missed the Santa Clause one and two right? Pretty funny movies from what I saw of them. |

I agree. I noticed a sharp turn in Follywood's view of Christmas when that necroperv Tim Burton put out "The Nightmare Before Christmas". For quite a number of years now, anything having anything to do with Christianity is being covered in elephant shit and dunked in a piss bottle... for "entertainment". |

If push comes to shove, tell children the story of the real St. Nicholas, a ?Turkish? bishop who gave little girls money to keep them from having to get married to pervs. SC is a celebration of the spirit of this Christian brother who gave his wealth for the benefit of others. [Account is approximate. Google/contact a priest in the apostolic succession for more/better details.] |

St. Nicholas lived in Asia Minor, and there wasn't a Turk within 5000 miles then. It was still Rome then, under Constantine I. |

I thought that was a pretty... very good movie. Not quite standard Christmas type movie, but still well executed. |

As I said, Google or ask a priest for clarification. There is a noncommercial story behind the patron saint of mindless consumption. |

Amen brother. It pisses me off to no end that stores have already dragged out the Christmas crap and some people already have their tree up. |

Constantine I was one of the last Emperors of a United Roman Empire. He is the one who built Byzantium into Constantinople. And the Byzantines were given that name by modern historians. They called themselves Romans... |

Jesus Fucking Christ. It is a movie about a MAN that plays Santa in a mall. Was it wrong to have Kramer on Seinfeld telling the kids about communism while dressed as Santa? Or was it funny? Get a life.

If I was in the neighborhood, I'd do the honors myself. Since I'm not, you'll just have to die of dehydration or something.

um...that was all MAKE BELIEVE. It's a huge stretch to say that movie dealt with anything other than how make believe characters in a make believe world *might* do Christmas. The operative phrase here being "make believe". |

Close but no cigar! Turks are NOT Christians. Turkish (ROP = Religion of Peace = Islam)  |
