Doug Maney Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Around here we say Merry Christmas, but I understand that not everyone does so, Happy Holidays to those of you who may be offended.

farmer52 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Merry Christmas Doug...Some people get touchy about Happy Holiday and Xmas."Holiday" originated from "HOLY day" and "X" is the greek symbol for "Christ". So technically all mean the same thing. But I prefer Merry Christmas.Doug - BTW I am offended at the ornament in the center of the pic. The Mack Christmas ball should be front and center and the KW...well it is Christmas so you can just move it to the back of the tree! 1 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I wish you all Merry Christmas!As for myself I'll get only the holidays these will start from next Sunday about New Year.We Russians selebrate Christmas on January 7. Local church calender doesn't count (counted) additional each 4 year's day, so the dates are set off.But it's good for me by the other side - the holliday's duration includes Jan 7&8 - whole 10 free days and nights!

Green Dash Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Merry Christmas! With that ratio of Mack:KW ornaments, your tree should last a long time.I wish you all Merry Christmas!As for myself I'll get only the holidays these will start from next Sunday about New Year.We Russians selebrate Christmas on January 7. Local church calender doesn't count (counted) additional each 4 year's day, so the dates are set off.But it's good for me by the other side - the holliday's duration includes Jan 7&8 - whole 10 free days and nights! Are you saying the Church calender does not recognize the "leap year" as we do in America? Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I don't know what do they do now.Shure they add the day now, the difference is constant.Originally before 1917 all the calendar didn't count.After the revolution of 1917 Lenin provided a lot of reforms including the set of the calendar onto the international standard.The date of Socialist Revolution was 25th of October but the Holiday was on 7th November.Another reform was a separation of the Church from the State.The Church prefered to keep "the old style" calendar so all the christian dates differed.On this way we have one more joky holiday "Old New Year" - 13th of January - the New Year date by "the old style".

Green Dash Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 So the dates are off by 13 days. At least being constant makes it less confusing. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowdyRebel Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I decided to take a trip for Christmas....brought the snow with me. Christmas is supposed to be white.I couldn't believe how many cars & pickup trucks there were in the ditches along the way, though. Roads weren't all THAT bad! Anyway, I saw this sign on the way home.... 1 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!
