Lent
Makes The Baby Jesus™ Happy
And that Makes Stephen happy, too!

A 40-day long holiday celebrated by Catholics where they give up something to show how much they love The Baby Jesus.

Most people give up one specific thing, like, say eating cake, or something.

But not Stephen, he loves The Baby Jesus s-o-o much he gave up all sweets.

As dedicated members of The Colbert Nation, The Heroes are required to give up something for Lent, lifting the burden of sacrifice from Stephen's broad and sexy shoulders.

Starting in 2009, they are expected to post what they will be giving up so other Heroes will feel they need to give up more in order to compete for Dr. Colbert's affections.

Please list the things you will be giving up in honor of Dr. Colbert giving up for Jesus.
