Thanks for your wonderful holiday sentiment! You must be lots of fun to celebrate with. What a great way of showing how loving Christians are supposed to be!!


Anti-christmas agenda alert.

For me:
red/green combo
reindeer
ornaments
jingle bells
egg nog

Can you honestly think of these things and not think Christmas? Any others?


All of these say Christmas to me, except egg nog. Maybe because the only eggnog I've ever had is the kind that comes from the 7-11 and is available all year round, although my family likes to drink it around Thanksgiving.

What else says Christmas? All those holiday songs on the radio ... the "holiday" wreaths and other decorations in my office building ... the Salvation Army guy ringing the bell outside Macy's.

Dang shoes, secular nonsense! And that sweater, more secular nonsense! If it's not a hair shirt and a self-flogger, keep it away from me!


We live in a free market society, by God, and the market has spoken. Clearly Santa's better than the guy in the robes and sandals.
