Is the most popular Christmas carol in the desert "Oh camel ye faithful"?
This is the last TotD before Christmas - though I may post next week, I'm not sure yet - so I'd like to say a big "Thank you!" to everyone who has picked up these puns this year and run with them into pun threads. They wouldn't have worked without you!
And a very merry Christmas, Hanukkah, Winter Holiday, Badtis, (or whatever floats your boat) and happy New Year to you all. For those that only view us at work: see you in the New year!
Nadolig Llawen a Blwyddyn Newydd Dda, boyos!

At the risk of being too schmaltzy (whatever that means), may I say you have brought a daily dose of laughter to most of us here on CP and I for one, as a Brit stuck in the US with their weird sense of humour (they even spell it wrong, "humor"), really appreciate it!
Merry Thingy and a Happy New Whatever!

Yeah - apparently you have to balance them somehow.

Only in the U.K. where it's spelled humour.
Humor, on the other hand is the optional human sense. Some people have one, some don't.

It's quite a versatile tune. I believe Xavier Leroy[^]'s favourite is "OCaml ye faithful".

Enjoyed the TotD and everyone's responses.
Merry Christmas, et. al. to you as well and a Happy and prosperous New Year.

So we are going to have a few Silent Nights because everyone is 'Away from a Manager'?
I had 'Three Quips come Sailing in' to my head for this reply so I guess I am done.
Merry Christmas everyone!

There are pun threads in the Lounge?
I never noticed.
I'll have to search them out, if they've been spooled.

So apparently the idea of a 'god' dying and coming back to life three days later is a common theme in religion, from Isis, to the sun at xmas, to jesus on good friday.
Anyway, just a thought.
Happy god death and rebirth festival to you all!

Come now, only a man would call themselves "Munchies...". Women would call themselves "Nibbles...".

Uh?
I said "jesus on good friday" Isis is christ knows when, the sun, obviously, dies on its shortest day and comes back to life on xmas day.

Fair enough. I just wanted to yell at somebody I guess.

Funny how, of the several religions descended from Judaism, the chrisitians seem to have forgotten the part about "dead is dead".*

Yes, it is. Perhaps it is something it picked up from Roman/Greek culture.
--edit--
Such as: Dying-and-rising deity - Wikipedia[^] 'Osiris, Tammuz, Adonis and Attis, Dionysus and Jesus Christ'

Clearly so:
Think Hercules, for example.
Their top deity "putting it to" a mortal and out comes a super-being.
Or maybe that's just a coincidence?
