Christmas sponsorship deal announced

The largest Christian religion, the Roman Catholic Church, has just announced a lucrative sponsorship of Christ's birthday with Microsoft, the computer behemoth. Cardinal Greed of the Vatican press office informed shell shocked journalists that for the next 3 years, Christmas would be known as Xboxmas though out its vast global organisation.

Speaking at the the press conference, the Cardinal said that they hoped to make Xboxmas cool among the younger demographic, adding that as part of the deal, all clerical vestments would be festooned with the Xbox 360 logo. A spokesman for Union of Catholic Priests expressed outrage at the blatant commercialisation of the most joyous event in the religious calendar, adding that many of their members now feared that their cassocks would overheat and make too much noise during mass.
