The “Winter Feast”?

The Prophet has read that the European University Institute is thinking of changing the name of Christmas...

by The Prophet — 2026-01-15

The European University Institute, in Florence, is a postgraduate university and research centre funded by the EU member states. Italy celebrates Republic Day on 2 June and Liberation Day, the end of the Nazi-Fascist occupation in 1945, on 25 April.

1 The Prophet has read that the European University Institute (no fly-by-night outfit, mind you) is thinking, in the name of inclusiveness, of changing the name of Christmas: they would like to rename it the Winter Feast.

2 An adoration of Anubis followed at once!

3 Quite apart from the fact, as the Enlightened Massimo points out, that everybody knows winter no longer exists because of global warming, right?

4 According to Anubistic doctrine these people should simply be sidestepped, the way the famous German shepherd does, but the problem is that we are obliged to keep them.

5 Since they take the hours of our lives as their salary, they are aggressors, and so we have to react.

6 Inclusiveness has nothing to do with erasing customs, all the more so since customs are freely chosen.

7 Everyone chooses their own customs and everyone else respects them: that is inclusion, the rest is just division and violence.

8 So the Prophet kindly asks this institute to take its inspiration from Anubis and mind its own fucking business, keeping its hands off Christmas.

9 If they really want to create divisions, let them publish their salaries.

10 The Anubist may celebrate Christmas or not, and may put up a Christmas tree or not.

11 If he does, he might look at it and think how nicely it would fit up the arse of whoever comes out with this bullshit.

12 I know that at the European University Institute you will never understand, but if the Prophet were you, he would not mess with Christmas.

13 To paraphrase the old saying: “Mess with the civil servants if you must, but don't mess with Christmas”.

14 As everyone knows, in Anubism Father Christmas is adored because he has never busted anyone's balls, having never been prescriptive.

15 He has never been imposed by law or by religion.

16 Father Christmas exists for those able to understand him and for those who choose to believe in him.

17 As everyone knows, a great Prophet once got thoroughly pissed off in a Temple. Father Christmas being kindness and understanding (pure white Magic), he will probably never get pissed off, but should he decide to fly over your university with his reindeer in the grip of an intestinal complaint and fill you with what you deserve to be filled with, I doubt anyone would blame him.

18 And should the Elves get pissed off, no army on earth will be able to defend you.

19 It is clear to everyone that, under the pretext of inclusiveness, all you want is to stir up trouble between people so as to divide them.

20 Since at the European university they evidently have fuck all to do, we would suggest, for their own good, that they busy themselves with something else.

21 For instance, in the name of inclusiveness towards the taxpayer, Republic Day could be renamed Parasite Day.

22 And the way things are going, in the name of inclusiveness towards free people, you could rename Liberation Day as Change of Occupation Day.

23 Do whatever the fuck you like, but respect the second precept: Do not bust anyone's balls!

24 May Anubis be with you, in the hope that universities will one day study something useful.
