One More Reason to Celebrate Festivus

I will admit to being a bit bummed out that 1) I'd never heard of Festivus before and 2) that it's from Seinfeld. But, it is a great idea.


Somehow though, I don't think THESE PEOPLE would be very happy about it, when they think that Christmas is evil:

two of my favorites:
... Santa Claus is a pagan mockery of God the Father with white hair, grandfatherly image, eternal, lives in the North, unlimited resources, omniscient of children's behavior, omnipresent for a night, hears confessions, comes as a thief, blesses children, and distributes judgment for works.

... the name Christmas came from "Mass of Christ," and Christians hate the Catholic mass.

mostly I just like the juxtaposition of that but I'd hate to not mention this one:

... all the God-hating, Christ-denying, and sin-loving pagans get excited about this day.

Marina reports these people actually advertised on the nytimes site (?!?)
