FemaleNerd Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 Reading zedlord's post in another thread i trust creators if they give her last name it would be a good one. maybe we will meet her parents or her parents invite them for christmas, can you imagine sheldon dealing with traditions? I just came across a question: Sheldon has said that he and Leonard don't celebrate Christmas. It wasn't mentioned that either of them went "home" to see their parents over Christmas. I'm not from the States, so I don't know if people don't usually go home there... But we know Sheldon's mother is very religious and he's very close to her. So wouldn't you expect him to spent Christmas with his family? What do you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoomedPanda Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 I think it would be more likely to have some family come to the apartment, because it's certainly mentioned that some of Leonard's family were there for Thanksgiving so it's not a stretch to imagine Sheldons mom might show up for Xmas at some point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FemaleNerd Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Well, what I meant is that it suddenly occurred to me that it would be rather illogic that Sheldon doesn't celebrate Christmas and calls it Saturnalia. The Christmas tree goes back to Saturnalia, okay, but Christmas itself clearly is a festival based on the Christian religion and his mother is deeply religious. So I think it actually doesn't make sense that he states he wouldn't celebrate the festival. And I think he would rather go down to Texas, since his sister also seems to live there, so it would be easier instead of the whole family coming up to L.A.? I know this is nitpicking, but hey it's still 12 days until the next episode... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoomedPanda Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 I don't think there's anything wrong with Sheldon saying he doesn't celebrate Xmas... He's a man of science and logic not of religion despite how religious his mother is. I can't imagine there would be a holiday that sheldon WOULD celebrate.

FemaleNerd Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Well, I'm not saying he would take the ceremonies seriously and believe in anything, but we have seen before that he does what his mother tells him and thus, I find it strange that she wouldn't want to be with him and celebrate Christmas with him.

DoomedPanda Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Maybe she did at some point and couldn't stand having him around, analysing everything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffles~~~ Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Yep, that's probably what happened I couldn't stand having him arround for Christmas either I think only Leonard can stand him o_o' Anyway, it would be funny if Chucky did Christmas episodes like Thanksgiven episodes in Friends They have their own traditions and stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FemaleNerd Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Maybe she did at some point and couldn't stand having him around, analysing everything LoL, good idea! Imagine, Sheldon actually not believing in anything, but nothing every historic detail by heart, correcting his mother in every custom, maybe even posing the question what's it all about ... not to mention his aversion towards gift-giving. Ha! I still think, his mom would love to have him around on Christmas though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irvine Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Hi there! Actually, I don't remember Sheldon saying he doesn't celebrate Christmas. When Penny asked him if they had a Christmas tree, he said no because they don't celebrate Saturnalia, but mention nothing about Christmas! As for spending this period of time with his family, I'm sure they would like that, but I don't know if Sheldon would agree to leave his little routine for this special day! Maybe giving them a call, though. Or having webcams installed in both houses! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Penny asked him if they had a Christmas tree, he said no because they don't celebrate Saturnalia, but mention nothing about Christmas! Yes, he didn't say that he doesn't celebrate Christmas but only because he don't acknowledge Christmas at all. He said he doesn't celebrate Saturnalia aka Christmas in mind of Sheldon. He explained how Chistmas comes from Saturnalia, therefore for him Chistmas doesn't exist and Saturnalia is not for him(pointless, waste of time). having webcams installed in both houses! lol that would be interesting but i think his mother wouldn't like it. She would go for it though it's better to have webcam Sheldon then have no Sheldon at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He explained how Chistmas comes from Saturnalia, therefore for him Chistmas doesn't exist and Saturnalia is not for him(pointless, waste of time). Exellent point, Irvine, now that I think about it, Penny asked whether Sheldon and Leonard would put up a Christmas tree and Sheldon explained that they won't because they don't celebrate Saturnalia, which IS the origin of the Christmas tree. He doesn't actually refer to Christmas at all. I disagree with you, zedlord, Sheldon wouldn't say Saturnalia if he meant Christmas, he will know just too well that one is referring to the tree and the other to the Christian festival. So Irvine's point actually leaves us assuming he could still have gone home to be with his family I still believe that his mother would make sure he comes to Texas, we've seen Sheldon doing what she wants.
