Title: 19 Days Left Till Christmas!
Post by: firestar12 on November 28, 2009, 18:38:02
Why don't we start the countdown by telling us our favorite Christmas carols!
Mine is...all of them (Too many to choose from ;D). What's yours?

Note: This post is not intended to be religiously offensive. If you are bothered by it, ask me and I will remove it without question.

Why 40 days?

Before about 1582, most Christian countries used the "Julian" calendar. This had a leap year every four years, which means it slowly goes out of synchronisation with the sum.

In 1582, under Pope Gregory a corrected calendar system was calculated in which the century years would only be a leap year if they were divisible by 400. So 1900 would not be a leap year, while 2000 would.

Due to those slight inaccuracies in the Julian Calendar that slowly accumulated, it meant that there was 17 days difference by the late 1500's. Different countries adopted the calendar at different times.

When the Gregorian calendar was adopted in Western Europe, people "lost" 17 days off their calendar. In most western European countries Christmas remained on 25th December, although was suddenly 17 days closer. Not so with the Orthodox Churches, who did not move the dates of the various Christian festivals when the Gregorian calendar came into operation. So for them Christmas is 17 days later, on the 7th January.

Seriously though, that is a really good thing to do- £12 when you only have £12 is pretty impressive. If you are mega rich like I'm not, then you have to buy speed boats, aston martins and the entire collection from an expensive shoe shop.

You only have the opportunity to ask Santa for something once a year, why don't you ask for something that really kicks ass like this full mission bridge simulator with 360 degrees view  :angel:

Coal is a good practical present for people in winter. It is surely better than a top of the range pc, for example, that does not give out as much heat if you burn it.

What age did you first tell your parents that you knew there was no Santa?

I remember when quite young, I told a bloke dressed up in red and white with an unbelievably long beard (Osama Bin Laden?) that he couldn't possibly be Santa and that he was a fake (I was asked to leave...) My nephew on the other hand believed in Santa right up til about 10- my sister said "it's sweet..." to which I replied "No, his friends will laugh at him. And his uncle."

Kids, there is no Santa. Sorry
