So everyone is celebrating Christmas today except for me. In my religion we celebrate Christmas on January 7th not December 25th. Anyone else in the flood do the same?

Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

Don't feel bad, Australians celebrate Christmas in the summer.

I celebrated it on December 9th.

Well, think of it this way.. While everyone else is having just a normal crappy day, you get to open gifts and laugh at the rest of us.

  • 12.25.2012 6:57 PM PDT

Please do not send me group invites.

I've never heard of anyone celebrating Christmas on January 7th...

Why?

I know January 6th is Kings Day or the 12th day of Christmas, when supposedly the wise men decided to show up. But why the seventh?

Clearly, this guy practices the little known Buddhist offshoot.. Bungieism.

Well we actually go to church on January 6th and we have a mass and take communion and everything to celebrate the birth of jesus and then we open gifts and celebrate at home on the 7th

Nope, Bungieism celebrates every religious holiday on the 7th of July, including Bungie Day.

Be sure to tell everyone how cool you are. If you don't tell them, they won't know.

Unless you follow a different calender system that nobody knows about, you're not celebrating Christmas.

wow I'm surprised you don't celebrate on the 7th. Ask your parents about it. I'm sure some people in your church celebrate on the 7th. Does your family do anything on the 7th?
