Xmas 3300

Is Christmas not celebrated in the year 3300?
I don't see Christmas trees and festive lights festooning the stations!
I don't see rows and rows of over the top external decorations as I'm driving (piloting) home?

There should be a best decorated space station :p

Come on guys, less than a week to go, get them decs up:D
 
Unfortunately, all religion and religious holidays were banned in the year 2150 when the whole idea of religious celebrations were totally monopolized by the corporations.

It all came to a head when the Bishop of Bath and Wells turned up to give the christmas sermon wearing Red and White robes emblazoned with the coca-cola logo.


Shortly afterwards, the pope gave a speech which went something like this "Baaaaaa!" - probably because in 2049 the Catholic church made a sheep a pope - and the Catholic Church reinvented itself as a Cath PCL, a forward looking public listed company dealing in charities worldwide.

The Orothdox church was soon to follow. Lacking a sheep to speak for them, the Patriarch basically gave the middle finger to the worshippers, pointed to the golden domes of the various temples, and stated they were starting a new religion in the Bahamas dedicated to hedonism and houris..... whatever they are.

The upshot is that the whole of inhabited space is now largely atheist, leading to universal peace, happiness, and wealth for all... except in those areas where there are wars, tragedy, and poverty, but we can safely ignore those as obviously the people there are deviants of the worse kind.

:D :D :D
 
I forgot about the season of the scared cash register !
I think you're right, we should have stations decorated with VISA and MasterCard logos and every time you undock you hear a "Ka ching" with "Please come again" for 3 weeks each year.

Ding dong merrily on high,
People over spending.
Ding dong merrily on high,
Credit companies lending.....


:p
 
Christmas decorations also fall under the edict of Galactic Health and Safety Initiative 1.00. 3300 paragraph 4, sub section 1A "any external decorations, lights or items deemed unacceptable thereof not under original plans submitted under regulation 5A para 1 sub section 4 shall be deemed hazardous and destroyed."
