BFAHP in December

[k0ugs]

As I quickly did my daily chores and helped a friend, i was wondering what the house will look like in december. Will it appeal to most religions, or will it be a christmas house? Will one imaginary friend turn out to be of a different religion?

I hope it is tasteful, I dislike the hodgepoge when corporations feel the need to try to please everyone and be equal :P

what do you think?

If this thread turns ugly, I am deleting it. Unfortunately this is a religious topic - I've seen topics along these lines turn horrid on other forums. I wouldn't have expected it, but it has happened. There are people who are offended by the phrase "Merry Christmas," and there are people who are offended by the phrase "Happy Holidays." Therefore don't be surprised if this thread vanishes. I hereby request any and all of my mods and co-admin to delete this thread at will.

I won't comment on that, sorry. My views on the issue may not bode well with others, so I'm gonna stay away from this.

Given they did a whole episode just for Christmas - yes. I think it will be Christmas themed.

Ooooh... I hope it doesn't get ugly.

Given that kids are different religions, wouldn't their imaginary friends be of the same religion? Then if they were abandoned, then you'd have the different religions in the house... It'll be interesting to see how they approach it.

I'm still catching up on all the episodes I haven't seen, not necessarily in order, and so far haven't seen one related to Christmas. What did they do last year for the holidays?

:o eek, my appologies, if the mods dont want to take a chance on this getting ugly... feel free to delete it... i was just curious

They had a Christmas episode last year, know one in the house was Jewish or whatever you have to be to celebrate Kawanza.

Er...either you misspoke or I'm totally reading that wrong, lol. 8D Anyways I do assume that the house in BFAHP will pretty much reflect the scenery in A Lost Claus. Perhaps there will even be a Santa Claus IF wandering around. ;) It'd be awesome if Moishe was there, too.

At the beginning I was speaking to someone who wonderd if there was an X-mas episode.

[Sparky]

I was referring to the fact that you basically said (or I think you said, hence me saying I may have missread it) that Jewish people celebrate Kwanzaa. The Jewish celebrate Chaunnukah, and Kwanzaa is an African-based holiday.

[Invader Bloo]

I said Jewish people I didn't include Chaunnuka, then I meant what religion you have to be to celebrate Kwanzaa. (I know black peole celebrate it)

[Sparky]

See, I misread it. :)

[Invader Bloo]

Most people probally did. :P

ok just to clarify, "know one" is usually spelled "no one".

Sparky mentioned "Moishe" who is a Dreidle (this is a very Jewish Top)
I also thought I had seen more Jewis IF in some episode, But I do not remember what episode.

Kawanza is spelled Kwanzaa or Kwaanza (I am also a bad speller so I looked it up)
It is an African-American celabration, created sometimes in the mid-60s. it is not an African holiday. nor does it have the same historic roots, traditions and consostancies as the two most well known holidays being Chaunnukah and christmas.

Naturally there are also other holidays that people celebrate at chrismas time. for instance the Winter Solstice is reconized by Pagan based religions. and Festivus on Sinfield.

I would think that BFAHP would have a Christmas theam. because that is the primary Holiday that is reconized here in the USA. Also there is no reason for this to be religious. Christmas has always been a iffy holiday with regards to religion. Santa, Frosty, Roudolf, snow flakes, Pine Trees and Jack frost in there modern context have nothing to do with religon; While there are all dominant symbols used on christmas. I have seen several Documentaries as well as read articles over the years on this matter. The religous significance to christains is the Birth of christ, However historians have shown that Christ was most likely born in the spring or early summer.(one evidence is the Sheep/Shepards in the Fields) The Christmas celibrations supposedly did not originate in christianity either. (one could do a serch on Yahoo for the origins of christmas and see what I mean.)

but enough of that, The fact is that everyone likes to have fun. Gifts, Santa, SnowMen (and snowoman) decorations, ect... are FUN. Fosters unlike some other cartoons, so far has never taken a Religous stance. (as Far as I can Tell) they have stayed very religous nuetral, but they have been very american. for everyone that remembers Charlie Brown Christmas, THat had Christian Undertones. Linus always reminded us of what he called "The True Meaning of Christmas".(assuming I remember it correctly they were also doing a Nativity play) I do not remember lots of controversy when this aired. If there was people upset about it, It never stoped the networks from reairing it.

Likewise, I hope I did not offend anyone, like Sparky said Moderators please delete this if it is not appropiate. (although I explicitly tried not offend any particular groups.)
please forgive my spelling I should type in a spellchecker.8D

[Invader Bloo]

You offended me!











Ok, yeah I screwed up on know one. I meant no one. I'm usually good at grammar & certain words tat have multiple spelling changes.

That's why I got confused. I thought you were saying "I know that one of the IFs was Jewish or whatever you have to be to celebrate Kwanzaa" - in other words, like you got "Chaunnukah" and "Kwanzaa" mixed up.

I just wanted to explain. :terrsmile:
