Should Fluther have a H/Channukah seasonal logo as well? Or perhaps others, too?

Yes. Unless this is a Christian site.

Yes, I think so – or since there are too many ways to exclude someone, there is no need to pick one holiday to display at all.

I was thinking that he should sport a cute little yamika at some point, yes.

I think the hat and candy cane are festive enough for all.

It seems to me that:

1. The modern incarnation of Santa has relatively nothing to do with Christianity.
2. Yeah it would be great to have a variety but this is what they did and maybe we should respect that.
3. The programmers here seem to be very busy keeping things going and asking for a politically correct statement on a gift seasonal decoration may just land us with nothing at all. Just like a lot of businesses. They can’t please everyone so why even try.

Just my opinion.

I think so and was hoping that they would.

Boy, as a Jew, I could care less.

@MoaningMyrtle (great username, btw)
You said “Yeah it would be great to have a variety but this is what they did and maybe we should respect that” – do you really think that by having this q and discussion we’re ‘disrespecting the owners of the site or what have you? Because it seems to me that one can’t say anything these days without the blanket answer being ‘well you can’t please anyone so don’t talk about anything or you’re so PC, blah blah blah.’

I think it would be neat if he could alternate when the page refreshes.

@Simone_De_Beauvoir I meant nothing more than what I wrote. Obviously someone decided to create a logo. They designed it and put time into it. I respect that they did this and appreciate the effort.

Those tentacles would make a perfect memorah! Just sayin’

If they were truly worried about offending anyone, they could do what they did last year and add snowflakes to the border. Celebrate the winter season instead of a holiday.

I like that idea @marinelife.

Uhm, Dr. J is Christian and a hardcore Santa and candy cane fan. He told me.

Camertron explains his reasoning here

If the staff have the available resources to do so, I think it would be a great idea. GQ.

Santa and candy canes have nothing to do with religion.

@psychocandy you don’t think Saint Nicholas has anything at all to do with religion? really?

Santa is not a saint. Saints have halos and wear robes. If anyone confuses the two, well…

I think Dr. J should celebrate the solstice.

I think Dr. J should celebrate National Pancake Day.

Saint Nicholas Complete with robe and halo!

Okay. Now he’s gone.

WHAT did you all do…

How sad.
I hope he returns.

@iamthemob : See this from Camertron.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

:( BOOOOO! The Grinch just stole Christmas, Hanukkah, and the last slice of cheesecake.

Thanks for the link @JilltheTooth
Apparently Santa J only popped in to see who’s being naughty and nice. He’ll return. Hopefully bearing my Red Rider BB Gun.

I want the Leg Lamp

This is why we can’t have nice things.

True dat, @rangerr.

I blame everyone except myself.

@JilltheTooth – you can also go for this poster. Kind of awesome, right?

@JilltheTooth ohhh, looky here!

@Blueroses – I hate you for enabling my shopping problems…

@iamthemob and @Blueroses : Fabulous! A woman in our little town has a funky gift/jewelry shop and puts a leg lamp in the display window every year, but she didn’t know where it came from. The true spirit of Christmas will out!

But look at all the leggy delights! The inflatable lawn ornament is the height of decent holiday obscenity! I must have!

I’m also highly tempted by the pink bunny suits.

I was just perusing the page. Maybe a discreet little keychain to see who understands? Must say, though I agree that the best thing there is the inflatable lawn ornament. A truly special symbol of the season!

I hit the jackpot. Everybody I know is getting one of these

Be…sure…to…drink…your…ovaltine….?

Ovaltine…

sonuvabitch.

And, of course, this is a must for our holiday baking!!!

Perfect! Cookies for the sad trolls.

Booooo….

If a Hanukkah seasonal logo actually fits on Dr. J, maybe…

But isn’t this a little early to worry about it? (We’ve got a few more days till the end, 6-ish more) Also, Christmas has nothing to do with Jesus. Christmas is a commercial holiday, and one the U.S. economy is dependent on. Hanukkah is strictly a religious holiday. If Dr. J starts tickling the baby Jesus in a manger we’re in trouble.

I’m much more worried that the word Fluther is underlined with red in the spell check. But I guess you can add-to-dictionary those words.

@JonnyCeltics I guess the point of contention, would be more valid if you took the time to spell Chanukah or it’s alternate Hanukkah correctly. (I realize that Channukah is an acceptable alternate spelling, but I’m going by most popular google search.)

Well, if you want to really get down to the nitty gritty, the holiday is actually Pagan. Stolen first by Christianity and then by The Almighty Dollar. Therefore, I demand a Yule tree. Get right on that, guys, will ya?
