Now With Your Merry Christmas
You Americans are so funny. Your group you like to call the Radical Right with its made up "War on Christmas" is very funny to we Chaldeans who actually INVENTED Christmas, which was stolen by these Christians in their own war. So your funny attempt to force people to say "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays" makes us laugh very much, as you are not showing everyone how Christian you are, but instead telling them to become Chaldean. We shall explain so your American brains will know.
The time you now call December 25th, in olden olden Chaldean times, was known as Chris-Tmas. It was the celebration of the birth of our King Christopher The Tolerant in 2500 BC. Tmas was much like Tsar, the whole thing pronounced as "Kris muss" as you Americans pronounce YOUR holiday.
So, when your Christians decided to convert everyone and deny their Chaldean heritage, they took the true birthday of their Jesus which was in April, and decided it would be a bad idea to have two holidays in the same month for him because that would be very greedy. Your Savior cannot be seen a Greedy, because that was the other guy that none of you like. So what was the best way to make all those already celebrating Chris-Tmas, and Saturnalia and Yule and all of those other evil Pagan celebrations continue to celebrate, just CALL it something else....and say they're ACTUALLY celebrating the birth of their Jesus. So they can party just like in olden times, but must put up a fake barn with a baby in it and everything is now Christian.
2000 years later, people have forgotten Chris-Tmas, and Saturnalia, and Yule, even though they kept the traditions of Pagan Trees and Yule Logs, and giving gifts, and peace and tolerance of King Christopher the Tolerant.
So every time you make people say "Merry Christmas" remember the truth. The Christian Jesus was born in April, and you are actually wishing a happy celebration of King Christopher the Tolerant, ruler of Chaldea.
Someday you will learn.
