NTR Reason for the Season
Time is growing short.
Perhaps it is a good time to reflect on the season at hand, and embrace our orange clad fellow Tennesseans as brothers.
I, for one, have made a contribution in the name of the U of T to a charity with which we are all familiar.
Thank me not, Vol people. I am content to know that you recognize my genuine sincerety during this holiday season.
Gifts would be nice, but is there a substitute for giving of one's self to The Human Fund?
As you and your brood gather around your joyous holiday pole, my your holiday the brightest ever, and may you all have your shots.
Happy Festivus, Vol nation!

Funny.
Some people don't really think mocking the most sacred Christian Holiday is funny, however.

Was that a $20,000 dollar donation?

Some would argue that Easter is the most sacred of Christian holidays.
I mocked neither.

Calm down everybody. I'm a conservative Christian, but I am also a Seinfeld fan. Festivus is a reference to a fictitious holiday devised by George's father (played by Jerry Stiller).
Hope that helps and Merry Christmas!

Absolutely.
You don't need to contact them.
They are very busy this time of year.

Quote:in the time of Constantine around the 16th century.
As a former TA for grad students in church history classes, that's almost as funny to me as the Festivus reference, which I think is funny!
