Balthazor Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Why you ask? Holidays there is only one? HA! I am Catholic.... I got a Feast Day for every day of the Year : ..... and after a Major Feast day, like Christmas and Easter... I celebrate for a good week after that. So I say Happy Holidays all year round. Oh yeah.... And by the way, get your flame retardant clothing out kids, because Polycarp Day is coming up Janurary 26th!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balthazor Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 Why not, Someone pointed out that there were no other holidays besides christmas to celebrate during winter break. But there are a ton more. And most of them are Catholic Feast Days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groo the Wanderer Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Yepper do - Guilty here. I was meaning non-Catholic and specifically non-Christian holidays. : BUT very good point made. As Catholics we DO have a LOT of feastdays and holidays to celebrate. Break out the tacos, so very tasty and good for you,! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissScripture Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 My best friend's boyfriend makes fun of us because "Catholics are allergic to fun." We keep trying to explain to him that we have more holidays than anyone else. He finally started understanding when he found out that some other denominations aren't even allowed to dance/drink/play cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
got2luvjc Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 a holiday is diff than a feast day... the Immaculate Conception is friday, but it's not a holiday, it's a feast day So I agree, there's a reason for Caflic partyin everyday! I just don't think they're considered a holiday party over here w00t w00t!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the nationalities that have a large Catholic population you would be crazy to say that! The Mexicans are mainly Catholic; lots of parties and cool parades all over the place The Irish ( the ones here in America) Lots of booze, lots of parties and cool dancing The Italians; really good food and wine, never met an Italian that didn't like to party, and I have met a few. Catholics love to party! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
