susiejwp Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 My favorite is I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas and in another post Marcster was good enough to post the folling link: [if you don't already have an MP3 of "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" by Gayla Peevey, you can get it here: http://soe.hyperchat.com/newchat/u/y...e/hippoFAQ.htm (right click and choose "save as" on the MP3 link) It's not her site, per say, it looks like she condones the download... And my favorite Christmas song isn't a "true" Christmas song at all, but that's when it gets airtime. It's "Same Old Lang Syne" by Dan Fogelberg.] In the spirit of the holidays I invite all of you to post your free download links here so that we mighta ll enjoy them!

outnumbered Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Gator Pam, why do you leave the i in Christmas out? I am aware of that being done to the word "God," in the Jewish culture, because there is some tenet against actually writing/saying the name, but I haven't heard of any Christian groups that do that to Jesus/Christ/etc. Just curious...

Gator Pam Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Gator Pam, why do you leave the i in Chr-stmas out? I am aware of that being done to the word "G-d," in the Jewish culture, because there is some tenet against actually writing/saying the name, but I haven't heard of any Chr-stian groups that do that to J-sus/Chr-st/etc. Just curious...That's exactly the reason. I am Jewish, and to show respect for all dieties, I leave a letter out when writing a form of a name of HaShem. It's more my own further interpretation of the teachings, but it's what I do. My son goes to school where the majority of the administration and staff are devotees of Kr-shna. I generally refer to their religious organization as HK. The only time I run into a problem personally is when I am addressing a person with a name for HaShem as their own name. If I don't know them well, I will write it the way they use it, although it pangs me to do so. After I've gotten to know them, I ask if there is a nickname, abbreviation, or if they would mind if I hyphened out a letter of their name. I was taught that the term X-mas and X-tianity is actually preferable over Chr-stmas and Chr-stianity, as the X represents the cross, and that Easter, the cross, and the resurrection are really what Chr-stianity is all about. More so than the birth of JC at Chr-stmas. But, so many people have hopped on the 'Put the Chr-st back in Chr-stmas' campaign that more people get offended when I use the X instead of the hyphen. So I do that more often now, instead of what I understand to actually be more respectful of the beliefs of Chr-stianity. But, I truly mean no disrespect when writing the various names of G-d with the hyphen, and do it totally out of respect for all of the various names I recognize.

So, then, would you put a hyphen in my son's name (Christopher) because it happens to contain those letters in that order? (I have never actually considered his name to be a form of the word "Christ"--to me it is just a regular name that happens to have those letters in it and isn't any more religious of a name than any other name out there) Or would you not hypen that because it's just a regular name, not the name "Christ" itself? I also think it's very interesting how some cultures would never use a name like Jesus or Christ for their children, when in other cultures (for example, hispanic), Jesus (pronounced hay-soos) is a very common name.

But, it would bother me to do so...
