What does it take to be an elf?
I mean, elves are immortal, right? Maybe they are using the dark side of the Force to become immortal! The Star Wars and the Middle-Earth elves are related to eachother. That would make sense and stop the fighting between LotR and SW fans. It could be called... Lord of the Star Wars.
What do you guys say?

Christmas has lost virtually all of it's Religious sentiment, and is merely an all-out corporate selling period....
Needless to say, I love getting presents....馃槢

you know jesus is i think the latin form for joshua pronounced yoshua....and that he wasn't born on december but probably on october....
when constatine declared christianity the world religion, the bishops and priests decided to celebrate jesus' birth to coincide with the pagan holiday before the winter season in december....but yet i could be wrong
i still like presents though

I completely agree! Presents are cool.
Do you think, since Jesus wasn't born in Middle-Earth, that the people's of Middle-Earth worship anyone, like we worship God? (some of us)
I highly doubt it.
BUT THERE IS A SPIRITUAL WORLD IN MIDDLE-EARTH!

"Jesus" is actually the English translation of the Greek name Iesous, which itself is the Greek translation of the Hebrew name Joshua, which was a very common Hebrew name meaning "Yahweh is salvation" or "God is our salvation".Joshua...gotta love that name. 馃槉
HA! i think i've outdone myself with so much hot air 馃槺

Jesus is not the Latin form of the Greek translation. Well, not directly anyway. His original name was Joshua, pronounced Yahushua (since there wasn't a letter "J" in Hebrew). Then the Gentiles came up with "Iesous" when they tried to transliterate His name into Greek. When Iesous was transliterated into Latin, it became "Iesus", which was then carried over into English and it became "Jesus" when the letter "J" developed.
Both our arguments were kinda flawed at first. I didn't include the Latin form in my original post, and you didn't translate the Latin form into English. 馃槢

I suggest you read "The Silmarillion". It's basically the bible of Middle-earth, lol, or for that matter, Arda as a whole. It's an excellent read. 馃槈
