Merry Christmas

[Gabu]

happy 25th of December for our Atheist, Agnostic and Deist friends.

I still celebrate Christmas anyway, even though I'm a Deist.  Even if Jesus wasn't the Son of God, he still was one of the nicest guys around, and that's good enough for me to honor him.

A Hawaiian translation of Silent Night

Pō la`i ē, pō kamaha`o,
Maluhia, malamalama
Ka makuahine aloha ē
Me ke keiki hemolele ē
Moe me ka maluhia lani
Moe me ka maluhia lani

Pō la`i ē, pō kamaha`o,
Oni na kahu hipa ē
I kō ka lani nani nō
Mele na `anela haleluia.
Hanau `ia Kristo ka haku.
Hanau `ia Kristo ka haku.

Pō la`i ē, pō kamaha`o,
Keiki hiwahiwa aloha ē,
Ka lama la`i mai luna mai
Me ka lokomaika`i makamae.
Iesu i kou hanau `ana.
Iesu i kou hanau `ana.

"Kamaha" is a bona fide Hawaiian word?

Now I see where Lewis Trondheim got his "Kamehameha" from...

It's not Christmas yet... still Advent. Christmas starts on the 25th and carries on for 12 days :-)

I like Christmas

Yes, it's not Christmas yet; Phil said why he posted this today in his original post.

Why are we arguing over this little tidbit in a topic like this?

Whether or not opebo did what he did out of hatred for Christianity isn't really going to matter that much in the long run.
