" The organisers of a worldwide Christian festival have announced that they are to choose an alternative date for the event. We accept that in hindsight choosing 25th December was a mistake, said chief spokesman for Christianity, God. Originally we thought that it would be a great time to have the festival practically everyones off work for Christmas and the schools are closed. We thought it would give everyone plenty of time to go to church to celebrate the birth of Christ the Lord your Saviour, but in reality people are far too busy eating too much, getting pissed, trying to cop off at office parties and watching the My Family Christmas special. We really need a quieter time of year for our celebrations. God admitted that the problem started from no-one knowing exactly when Jesus was born. We were too busy trying to work out what you do with myrrh to write the date down, He said. We knew 25th December was already the date of Christmas and pagan Yule festival, but we were confident we could make it our own. All the pagans had was a bit of holly, mistletoe and those chocolate Yule logs, so there wasnt much to overcome. We introduced a few carols and people were won over. What we hadnt counted on was Christmas being so enduringly popular.... " http://www.newsbiscuit.com/2011/12/08/christian-festival-to-be-moved-to-avoid-clash-with-christmas/
