Official Pastafarian Christmas Message of Understanding

From the pastafarian church.

The pastafarian church would like to take a moment during the festive season to remind you that you are loved by the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

You might encounter a pastafarian anywhere. We are members of your community.

As pastafarians we may ask for your understanding if you ask us to handle pasta based products.

If a pastafarian checkout operator in a supermarket asks you to go to another register please understand that it's done out of sacred religious observance and not intended in any way to make your Christmas shopping any more difficult.

For some pastafarians, handling pasta products (Excluding Gnocci of course, because that's not a real pasta) is confronting, and while we don't wish in any way to make your Christmas preparations more difficult, we may ask for a small amount of patience. Except for Gnocchi of course, because that's not real pasta.

So while we may not join you in eating a hearty helping of lasagne, we do of course hope you enjoy yours.

The pastafarian movement wishes everyone a merry Christmas and a happy new year.

May you and your family be touched by his noodley appendage during the festive season.

He boiled for your sins!
