    Do you realise that cats consider themselves to be god? That’s their religion. Cats are the diety.

        When did stockings go from being large wool sock like things, to being tights without a waist/crotch area?

          A “stok” or “stocc” was there lower part of a post or tree trunk in middle/old English. It became the name for any close-fitting garment that covered the foot and lower leg (stok of a person). So really it’s not that the name went from being one thing to being another, it’s that both the things you mention fit the definition.

          The other part of the answer to your question is the development of knitting machines able to create stockings from fine cotton or silk thread made the second type of thing more attainable.

    This is hilarious and mom probably wants an excuse to enjoy Christmas just like us atheists and agnostics do (decorating and gifts).

              No, it doesn’t count as a gift. Even tho she screamed when she got it.

            I can do that. I live near a World Market, which is like a Toys R’ Us for old people.

      I only celebrate the pagan celebrations like the Yule tree, Spring celebration of the goddess Eostre, etc. Fortunately that’s where the roots of all the good stuff like Christmas trees (Yule log), Santa (Odin), and Easter bunny come from, so reall Christianity doesn’t figure into the equation at all.

        I like burning the yule goat. Me and the wife are little pyros, maybe that has something to do with it

    Christmas isn’t even really religious anyway. My Hindu and Buddhist friends love Christmas, and they don’t care whatsoever about Jesus.

      When the Prophet (pbuh) wanted to get up and pray but his cat was sleeping on the sleeves of one of his robes; so he merely cut the sleeves off his clothing in order to not disturb the cat.

      I can respect that. You never disturb a sleeping kitty.
