IMPORTANT ASTRONOMICAL ANNOUNCEMENT, /CHRISTMAS/ :  (>>3133)

---

Christians have Christmas
Jews have have Haunakah
East Asian group have Dongzhi (winter solstice) 
Buddhists have Bodhi Day (Budda's enlightenment day)
Islam has nothing because their calendar is funny
Kwanzaa is under 100 years old and therefore does not count as a holiday or culture
So what do the people of Africa and the Middle East do this time of year?

This thread is for consolidation of various ideas and contributions. Boards who have accepted being part of the event should provide a quote to be added to the sticky under a sponsors section, and describe the type of thread they plan to have here in order to not have too much overlap with other participants (or to request consolidation with that board as a joint-contribution thread if there is overlap). If there is a dispute over who gets to host what thread and both websites/boards have refused to work together, the board that has put more tangible effort into their plans will be given priority. Threads that don't directly compete (two different boards hosting different games for the event, for instance) will not be asked to consolidate.

Since you left, I suppose this may be a waste of energy. But perhaps someone else here may benefit from it.

With all due respect: you go where the need is, Anon. You cannot mandate morality from without. Your "it's not church so it's fine" strawman reeeing is just silly. Christmastime is one of the very few times in the year when most unbelievers even stop to think about God at all. "To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some." [1] Are you in fact disdaining going out into the wheat fields ripe for harvest, friend? /christmas/ exists to bring some sense of community & camaraderie into a world ravaged by the Globohomo & their evildoers, ravenously bent on all our destructions. Would you destroy that venue of refuge & hope simply because it doesn't line up with your own personal sense of propriety ATM?

As to your apparent claim that God is in an angry rage at myself and other anons who participate in /christmas/, honestly I don't see where you derive that as being especially worse than other common human endeavors in life. All is vanity apart from the salvation wrought alone by the Son of God, Jesus Christ, Savior of the world. Trying to trample (as a purported Christian,) on the one board in the entire IB universe that is a general celebration of Christ's birth and the good news that God has come down to mankind is misguided IMO -- to say the least!  :^)  "For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength." [2]

Similar to the amazing, unexpected gift & plan that God chose to sacrifice Himself on all our behalves [3] and thus bring about the believing Christian's eternal redemption by God's grace alone -- saving us from eternal damnation in hell below -- who knows if He might also save some through /christmas/ as well? Please leave Him room enough to work here, kthx.

---

Regardless, God bless you and all the rest of us here, Anon. May we all learn the true meaning of Christmas during this holy season. Cheers.  :^)

Welcome to the /geimu/ ministry thread, you have chosen, or been chosen, to relocate to the webring's finest remaining video game board. I thought so much of /geimu/ that I elected to establish an embassy/ministry, here, in the /christmas/ board, so thoughfully provided by our benefactors. I am proud to call /geimu/ my home. 
And so, whether you are here to stay, or passing through on your way to worse boards, welcome to /geimu/. It's uncensored here.

Back when Hispachan was online some guy made an Homestuck "odisea", which is a kind of thread where the OP reads or watches an entire cartoon or comic and posts his thought as he moves forward. The interesting part of the thread is not only read the opinion of someone totally unfamiliar with the subject but also to see how his mental health degradates over time. That was back in late 2021 I guess? here's the archive of said threads:
https://hispafiles.ru/search?q=homestuck&boards=ac&op=true

Before that Homestuck were a meme on Hispachan because they were their bronies, it became a meme to bully them for some reason I don't remember, but modern Homestuck interest came from the guy who read the entire thing and documented it.

>I don't understand this culture
Zwarte Piet is a figure with mixed history. One part of him is derived from the Moors. In that sense he's literally a servant that Santa has impressed into his service. Similar to how Krampus was made a servant of Santa. The idea being something along the lines of St. Nicholas, a Christian bishop has conquered non Christian elements in Europe and has put them into good service.
Speaking of Krampus, it's entirely possible that Karmpus, Pete, and Ruprecht are all the same character but filtered through different cultural lenses and and then integrated back into the Santa Clause legend.
Another take is that Pete is actually a chimney sweep and is a more voluntary sort of servant that aids Santa in his seasonal breaking and entering activities.

Also on the subject of Krampus, he's really similar on many points to the Namahage of Japan. Although the Namahage on the whole are nicer Krampus according to than some of legends about him.

Let's bring back Christ in Christmas :)
Glory to God, the Triune, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, the Most High and Most Holy, the Creator of Everything, the Creator of the World and of Humanity, the unequaled and unrivaled, Love itself, who around 2000 years ago decided out of piety and love for humanity, to be born among us, to show us our own way to salvation.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
