This makes a lot of cents. While we might still remember JC
we will only succumb to the pagan merchandising insanity of
buying gifts we cannot afford with money we dont have once
every four years. [+] |

Wouldn't it be much easier to move it to February 29th? |
|
|
I think it would be the same easy. I'd prefer if the host city gets to pick the date. |

This is beyond cynical. [+] |

This will just encourage and promote a disgusting circus of bribery, lobbying, influence-peddling and blatant corruption on a par with the World Cup, Formula 1 and the Oympics, highlighting all the very worst aspects of human nature. |

Excellent idea, tatterdemalion. Unfortunately I have to vote against it though as it clashes with my own excellent plan for moving Christmas into January. Nothing personal, it's just politics! |

Would this idea not be better entitled "Make Christmas
Quadrennial"? |
|
|
Not from the perspective of coordinating the title with the
other "Move Christmas to
" ideas. |
|
|
Ah, fair point I suppose. |
|
|
"Move Christmas to be a quadrennial event" would satisfy both criteria. |

Just saw Sean Locke describe exactly this idea on 8/10 Cats/Countdown thing. How about that. |
