Please make use of the FSM Holiday e-Card machine to send greetings to your friends and family this season. It’s up here: e-Card machine.
There are a few designs. This one is my favorite and historically has prompted the most salty comments from recipients:

Also — this season, if you know someone with impeccable character, ready to serve as a spiritual leader, you can nominate them to the FSM Ministry.
FSM Ministers will receive Lithograph Paper Certificates and PVC Minister’s ID cards, and will be added to the official registry. You can order here.
• Or how about a festive FSM tree (this one courtesy of Trevor)
Here’s Tarun’s tree:
Amy spotted this amazing display on her neighbor’s house in Everett, WA:
[1] A note on Holiday: years ago, we noticed there was a shift in the way people expressed winter greetings — fewer “Merry Christmas’s” and more “happy holidays”. We concluded that these people were most likely Pastafarians (albeit many of them in secret) wishing people a happy Holiday – referring to our winter celebration Holiday, also known as ChriFSMas.

Very nice!
I hope everyone is having a great Holiday[1] season and a merry FSMas. Here are some of my favorite festive things this year:
Tyler’s pipe cleaner ornament
Bianca’s FSM tree
Martin’s FSM emblem topped tree
Laura’s fingerpuppet ornament
This dude sent me a Holiday greeting claiming to be a Pastafarian and I believe him.
Lily made this beautiful Holiday card.

The Tampa Tribune featured the FSM Holiday display in today’s paper, front page.
The sign says “A closed mouth catches no noodly appendages.”
And here’s the Christian nativity display that started all of this:
What do you think — next year, will the Florida Capitol allow any religious displays?
Thanks to Jay Nelson for the photos.
Great news! The Florida Capitol building has endorsed our religion by allowing an FSM Holiday display on its grounds.
The Florida Capitol building just made a move that Sarah Palin is likely to interpret as a hostile affront in the so-called “war on Christmas,” approving a religious statue from the Pastafarian group of their deity the Flying Spaghetti Monster to be included in the Capitol’s holiday displays.

Happy Holidays everyone! I want to share a collection of my favorite displays this season.
But first, check out what is to my knowledge the first ChrisFSMas song, composed by Rade – who, incidentally, makes his home in the same town (Hallein, Austria) as F.X. Gruber, who composed Silent Night.
Now that you’re in a Holiday mood, here are the displays:
Possibly my favorite this year, here’s Scott and Jeanette’s knitted tree-topper.
It would not feel like ChrisFSMas without a festive and historically accurate Nativity scene – this one, courtesy of Dmitry:
Here’s an ornament spotted on Dmitry’s Holiday tree:
Abbey found this Holiday stocking at her house:
And the FSM perched atop her tree:
He was spotted on a number of other trees as well:
He was also spotted in Holiday lights in a window:
and here He is in a yard:
Here’s Mark from New Zealand’s wreath:
And He was seen in a number of Holiday treats:
Happy Holidays everyone!

An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American.
