Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas?

A mysterium is incomplete information.

The correct title of the piece is "O Magnum Mysterium" (great mystery).
I knew it was wrong when I wrote it before and intended to go back to correct it and got sidetracked.

Shoot me.

If you are a sociopath, as I suspect, that would be the correct thing to do.

To senarios exist:

1) You don't know what a sociopath is, but know it's a easy way to negitively brand a person.

2) You know what a sociopath is, but choose to use the word incorrectly anyway.

I'm getting bored with your threats. Happy holidays.

Uh, punk dude, you are the one threatening me - and my rights under 1A, by trying to tell me I shouldn't wish anyone "Merry Christmas" and instead should use your schmucky little "Happy Holidays" instead.

Grow up. Go buy a clue. You may think you're smart, but I've got more common sense in the tip of my broadhead than you do in your entire body.

...So the information with which u provided us was INCOMPLETE.

It's a matin, so perhaps the Christmas Eve mass isn't the right place for it :wink:

(We used to sing it at the 6 o'clock mass on the first Christmas Day, the original Gregorian version - which was liturically even too late :wink: .)

Well we Protestants, especially us really liberal ones, are pretty flexible about things like that. In some of our Advent music since Thanksgiving, we just changed some words in the lyrics so they reflected more Advent and less Christmas. I figure God can bless others through us without being real strict about propriety.

Certainly.

But here the lyrics ... ut animalia viderent Dominum natum, iacentem in praesepio ... do point at the time of th day :wink:

Thankfully Walter was here to correct you, Foxy. :wink:

Thank goodness Christmas is over, and we can enjoy the rest of our holidays.

You're undeserved and abused rights are intact and unthreatened for yet another year. Imagine that.

Dude, I'm here just about every day defending "you're" right to make an ass of yourself. Continue.

Well, a) I know Latin and b) I not only the lyrics of that choral but also the background.

And since I've posted on the thread from the beginning onwards - I get email updates. Like you, Tico - or why else did you write that response?

Just shows how much growing up you have to do.

Don't fret, just come back in a few years.
