Pants are so overrated.

In fact, we have a national No-Pants day here in Aus, and I think other countries do it as well :D I think I recall that it originated in Sweden or Germany or something hehehe.

Fucking hilarious =D

Hahaha I had not thought of that in ages, but now I remember. I violated it by wearing pants. :( Which leads me to make an incredibly hypocritical reply...

We also do the no pants dance and have no undie sundies (sundays) at the local =D

So this just means that everyone goes commando? Haha, that's great. But seriously, I hope that people actually adhere to this. Otherwise it would be like going to a singles' bar where a percentage of the people were actually taken. Total buzzkill ;)...:\

Although the two acts do not necessarily coincide, no pants dance is not performed at the pub on no undies sundy; albeit for the odd larrikin that may have had a few too many.

You don't have Santa or the Easter Bunny in Oz N3o??


I remember how pissed my mom was when I was told Santa wasn't real. I had such mixed feelings about it but was mostly shocked at first that my mom was so pissed...........looking back I get it. A friends mother told me when I was in like 2nd or 3rd grade. I have yet to decide if I will tell tales of Santa to my maybe one day children, but if I did, I'd be pretty pissed if some other mom told my kids it was fake.

The Easter Bunny....... He made me pee my pants when I was little and my mom told me he was just pretend so I wouldn't be so scared......but she still kept up the whole "The Eataba is coming!! So you will have a surprise in the morning!" :) hahahah I called him the Eataba.

Oh yeah sorry!! That's not what I meant! We have the concept of Santa and the Easter bunny here in Aus, but I was just saying that all these traditional holiday things are a bunch of balony.

Doesn't mean that the actual holidays themselves are any less special, because it's all about spending time with our families <3
But the made-up characters pertaining to those holidays are as silly as each other :)

Oh, for sure N3o........

Origins of Santa, like most Christian things, were taken from other religions......like Paganism.
Numerous parallels have been drawn between Santa Claus and the figure of Odin, a major god amongst the Germanic peoples prior to their Christianization. Since many of these elements are unrelated to Christianity, there are theories regarding the pagan origins of various customs of the holiday stemming from areas where the Germanic peoples were Christianized and retained elements of their indigenous traditions, surviving in various forms into modern depictions of Santa Claus.[14]

Odin was sometimes recorded, at the native Germanic holiday of Yule, as leading a great hunting party through the sky.[15] Two books from Iceland, the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier sources, and the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson, describe Odin as riding an eight-legged horse named Sleipnir that could leap great distances, giving rise to comparisons to Santa Claus's reindeer.[16] Further, Odin was referred to by many names in Skaldic poetry, some of which describe his appearance or functions. These include Síðgrani,[17] Síðskeggr,[18] Langbarðr,[19] (all meaning "long beard") and Jólnir[20] ("Yule figure").

According to Phyllis Siefker, children would place their boots, filled with carrots, straw, or sugar, near the chimney for Odin's flying horse, Sleipnir, to eat. Odin would then reward those children for their kindness by replacing Sleipnir's food with gifts or candy. This practice, she claims, survived in Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands after the adoption of Christianity and became associated with Saint Nicholas as a result of the process of Christianization and can be still seen in the modern practice of the hanging of stockings at the chimney in some homes.[21]

This practice in turn came to the United States through the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam prior to the British seizure in the 17th century, and evolved into the hanging of socks or stockings at the fireplace

And The Easter Bunny :
The Catholic Encyclopedia says: "The rabbit is a pagan symbol and has always been an emblem of fertility"[7] Eggs, like rabbits and hares, are fertility symbols of antiquity. Since birds lay eggs and rabbits and hares give birth to large litters in the early spring, these became symbols of the rising fertility of the earth at the Vernal Equinox.
