If there’s one holiday that supplies endless themes for humorous porn, it’s Christmas. Why should this be so? I can only offer the following speculations:[ul][_]In the US at least, it’s the biggest and most important holiday of the year.[_]If there’s one holiday that is celebrated at workplaces by an office [del]orgy[/del]party, it’s Christmas.[_]Chistmas is celebrated by the exchanging of gifts.[_]Christmas is personified in the character of a saintly (and therefore lampoonable) figure.Other holidays are more limited. Halloween seems to be becoming a second-place contender as slutty costumes become more fashionable. The various pre-Lent celebrations (Mardi Gras, Carnivale) certainly have a reputation but didn’t become a tradition in the primarily Protestant US. You’d suppose some sort of rites of spring/ fertility celebration might be a contender but other than Spring Break none of our spring/early summer holidays seem to have any sort of sexual theme.[/ul] ---

Perhaps because the iconography of Christmas is so clear, and so ubiquitous. It’s easy to turn your porn set into a Christmas porn set just by getting your regular holiday decorations out of the basement. –Cliffy ---

I’d like to think that it’s some kind of distant, subconscious folk memory of Saturnalia. ---

In contrast to the Christmas factors, look at Easter- three main things- Jesus, bunnies, eggs. The pornability of any of those is just EWWWW! (With the exception of Playboy Bunnies.) ---

(With the exception of Playboy Bunnies.) Not to mention, one would HOPE that the **birth** or Christ would be more joyful to celebrate with a sound round of hearty bonin’ than his **death**. Plus, it took him three days to come again. What woman will put up with that kind of time delay? ---
