This may belong in general or extendind discussion, but i wanted to say it here so no one would miss it.
Just wanted to say somthign here and in the sub forum (so that way our choicer memebers can join in)
What ever riligion you are: Jewish, Pagan, Wican, or Christian. This month represents somethign speacial. For Pagans and Wiccans it is a number of things. The winter soltice as well as other celebrations and times of observance. For the Jewish it is those eight speacial nights. And for the Christian it is the day of Christmas, the day the riligion celebrates the birth of their savior and mesiah: Jesus Christ.
I don't want arguments, I don't want dissentions or challanges of riligion and origins. Every one has their faith and beleive, I implore that you respect it. What I want to see is what the Riligious Coalition has been trying them selves so hard to bring about in this world. Peace, love, understanding, and a reason for all humans of diffrent beleives to come toghether and be as one.
I Invite all of what ever riligion or faith they have to come, say something: A prayer, a blessing, a wish of good fortune, anything. It is this i have to say.
On the 25th of this month, my faith come toghether to observe one of our holyist nights, the night our savior and mesiah, who we see as God the Son as well as God in Flesh. Who came to work mericles, to spread a message of love and peace. His ultimate purpose on this earth was to die. To die and take all the sins of the world, present and future, with him.
I thank Christ, and the Father, for their gift. Christ himself was the ultimate gift, none can compare, but on this day we try.On this day we give gifts to thoe we know and love, and some of us in deep with our faith even give them to those we hate. A verypowerful message that Christ preechedon his time on earth was to love your enemy as you would a brother.
I love you, all of you. Even those i frequently say I hate. We have our disagreement and our misunderstandings, but still we all must learn to love and to live and let live. We all try, in our own way, to work for a better world.
Merry Christmas to all of you. And God bless you, and my the Son be with you.
I now invite other to say their peice, to say what they have to share. But, please, nothing challanging, nothing hurteful or wrong. I ask only for blessings to others and words of love.

I agree with you. ^ ^
I think everyone needs to have a good Christmas. I love this guild, it's kind of hard to sum up why... but the people in it are wonderful. They have such different personalities, but they're all pleasant to be around, and they rarely talk badly about other people. (When they do, it's brief, and usually because the same was done to them over and over and over again.)
I also love this guild because I've rarely been even slightly offended at anything someone in here said (about my age,) so I feel like this place is really built on respect and friendship.
So Pyro, lymelady, I.Am, Jabbers, McPhee, Zin, Kp, Akshamala, Karl, Ebony, Seraph, Mindcandy, and anyone I didn't list, I hope that you all have a great Christmas!

Thank you. I appreciate the well-wishing. Like you said, everyone celebrates for different reasons. I love the look on the faces of the people I love when they open the presents I gave them, personally, and the way my cat plays in the paper. Regardless of others' religious convictions I just want everyone to have a great holiday, too.
