Merry Christmas

Can you say something more meaningful than mentioning the birthday of the man who died 20 centuries ago ?? Yes. Enjoy your holiday pay in his honor, chump. Not everyone gets paid holidays. Still, I intend to enjoy the day anyway. I'm up, the coffee's brewing as I write and later I'm going out and poke around with my camera before I hit the Chinese Buffet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtUYaSfC20Y Someone else wrote "peace to all men of good will." It occurs to me that we won't have peace until the men who are not "of good will" get on board, so here's a hope of peace for them as well. Whatever your reason for the season, I hope it finds you and yours well. |

Merry Xmas, Happy Hanukkah, Ramadan Kareem, Happy Kwanzaa, Cool Yule, Blessed Be and Happy Trails to You, until we meet again! What about us Atheists? Possibly the only sane group of any society, and we never get a mention. In the US, there's Martin Luther King Day, President's Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day and Veteran's Day ... all non-secular holidays. And if you play your cards right, you get to pick and choose from all the rest. Next year, why don't you tell your employer you want time off to celebrate Columbus Day, Ramadan and Yom Kippur. |

This atheist worships no god, I just want the holidays. Hey, it's a free country (or so they keep telling us), so take 'em ... as many as you can get away with. ;-D |

Can you say something more meaningful than mentioning the birthday of the man who died 20 centuries ago ?? For me, and most Christians, fallen or otherwise, Christmas is mainly a sentimental event, gathering of the family, exchanges of gifts, feasting, etc. I actually went to Christmas Eve Eucharist last night (over 25 years since I did that), but that was for sentimental reasons, mainly in memory of my mother who was fond of attending Christmas Eve Eucharist though otherwise not a very dedicated Christian. BTW: that was not even a very good troll attempt, so I wish your more success in the New Year.
