All we want to do is to tell the real story of Christmas!!!
Ina, you may want to check out the following link (and especially #5). You are new here, and the kilted Santas are known to and loved by many.

I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

Personally, I agree with MacBean, especially since the post in question was regarding who is real and who is imaginary. I'm not reporting or anything, but I am glad the rule was pointed out so now everyone knows full well of its existence.

Re: Newly registered Christmas Tartan
Santa Kona,
Thank you for your comment.
I am truly sorry if you find my comment offensive.
THAT WAS BY NO MEANS MY INTENTION.
I have no doubt that your group celebrates the season for the right reason.
As you have asked the question I felt obliged to answer.........
I however will not make any more comments as I was told NOT to discuss Religion as rule #5 states. Although Christianity to me is not a religion.
Our Christmas Tartan is registered with the Scottish Tartan Authority.
See http://www.tartanregister.gov.uk/tar...aspx?ref=10554
They have the thread count on register and a woven sample/swatch of the tartan is on its way to Scotland.
The tartan register NEVER gave us any indication that they were not going to register our tartan or that it was too close to yours for that matter.
A very good friend of mine and long time member of Xmarksthescot is a member of your organization. As a Christian I have studied the St. Nicholas Center and the Santa Claus Oath Foundation. I thank you for your reference.
I again am sorry you took this whole matter the wrong way.
I wish you and the rest of the Santa Clan only well!!!
Ina.
