The Dozen-Or-So Days Of Christmas 4 - The Problem With Flintstones

[captain_slinky]

One of the few Christmas Specials I just can't suspend my disbelief for - A Flintstone Christmas. I assume it has something to do with the illogical concept of neanderthals from a few million Bee-Cee's would be observing a Holiday that celebrates the birth of a carpenter some time in the comparatively far-flung future. Flintstones celebrating Christmas = Earth Citizens of 2014 celebrating Xrdah'ayr The Galactic Conqueror Glorious Space-Liberation Day. I don't buy it, not for one minute!

Tcha. Are you saying I need to take down my detailed festive vignette of Xrdah'ayr's final glorious molting? It's taken months to glue on all the scales...

The Glorious Molting is actually borrowed from the Kortaan Empire tradition of shedding ones deteriorating exoskeleton after the yearly blood orgy. But really, it just doesn't feel like Xrdah'ayrmas without a glorious molting :)

I say go ahead and keep it!
