Christmas isn't even really religious anyway. My Hindu and Buddhist friends love Christmas, and they don't care whatsoever about Jesus.
Same for japanese, if manga and anime are any indication.
Human just needs a winter gorge and christmas has a nice concept. Call it yulfest if you want.
Look at how much of Christmas doesn't involve the birth of Jesus.
Etc.
I usually suspect cats of being communists (thus, probably atheists), given they won't shut up about Mao.
Nah, cats are buddhist. See how they dgaf? That’s a sure tell
(But that was a nice pun)
Thought I was in dad jokes for a second. Well played! 😂
You can be a theistic Marxist, such as cats who obviously worship and act on Bast's behalf
Do you realise that cats consider themselves to be god? That's their religion. Cats are the diety.
And God doesn't get stockings? What's even the point, then? God...
No, the gods get cream and salmon on holidays
A cream sauce, or just straight milk fat?
When did stockings go from being large wool sock like things, to being tights without a waist/crotch area?
A "stok" or "stocc" was there lower part of a post or tree trunk in middle/old English. It became the name for any close-fitting garment that covered the foot and lower leg (stok of a person). So really it's not that the name went from being one thing to being another, it's that both the things you mention fit the definition.
The other part of the answer to your question is the development of knitting machines able to create stockings from fine cotton or silk thread made the second type of thing more attainable.
This is hilarious and mom probably wants an excuse to enjoy Christmas just like us atheists and agnostics do (decorating and gifts).
But those are the worst parts. I just want dinner and to see grandma while she still kicking.
Ok, I'll take your gifts thanks.
OK but you got to get my mom something nice.
Way, way ahead of you
No, it doesn't count as a gift. Even tho she screamed when she got it.
I can do that. I live near a World Market, which is like a Toys R' Us for old people.
I only celebrate the pagan celebrations like the Yule tree, Spring celebration of the goddess Eostre, etc. Fortunately that's where the roots of all the good stuff like Christmas trees (Yule log), Santa (Odin), and Easter bunny come from, so reall Christianity doesn't figure into the equation at all.
I like burning the yule goat. Me and the wife are little pyros, maybe that has something to do with it
Cat: From the moment I understood the weakness of your flesh, it disgusted me.
No catholic jokes? Really?
There was an old lady on my street with about 2 dozen feline pets. She was a Cataholic.
Too low a bar. I only go after jokes that adults can walk under comfortably. What do I look like? A catholic priest?
Darnit. Broke my rule
Your mom is correct. Not acknowledging Catsgiving is offensive.
its well known that most cats are catholic. i mean, it’s in the name
When the Prophet (pbuh) wanted to get up and pray but his cat was sleeping on the sleeves of one of his robes; so he merely cut the sleeves off his clothing in order to not disturb the cat.
I can respect that. You never disturb a sleeping kitty.
I'm pretty sure British Shorthairs are Anglican.
No they’re not, they’re Catholic. It’s literally in the name.
Cat-holics are people addicted to cats
Cat-echism
Catlick.
This is absolutely 🥰
Obviously cats are Jewish! Haven't you heard of a meownorah??
