Jesus ain't brought me no iPhone X.
Does Santa deliver iPhones to the Fife kids? Lucky lil tykes you got there. That's in fact how I knew Santa, the Easter bunny, the tooth fairy, etc. didn't exist before anyone else. I think I got 10 cents for a tooth, oranges and walnuts in the stocking, with underwear and maybe a ninja turtle; that clued me in right quick when I came back from Christmas break and saw the hauls of the other kids.

Since we're on the topic of Christmas past. Christmas was about Jesus in the loliday house. God bless my folks, they were good people, but looking back now, remembering our family's annual reenactment of the Nativity in full sheppard gear with angels in sheets on ladders... makes me think my parents were a little brainwashed.

Merry Christmas yalls.

Youth really is wasted on the young, as the man said.
Not even just cable, when my parents got divorced, my father sprung for pay TV at his new place, I couldn't believe it, I can even remember the first movie I watched; St. Helens
Funny how those memories work, I remember a good deal about my first night with the parents to check out cable TV; we went to the house of some friends of my parents. Apocalypse Now was my first exposure to cable TV. I just remember playing around on the floor and doing some footsie with the hosts' daughter. It's weird which things really stick with you.

Christmas is all about Jesus for me now, I drive my wife crazy with Jesus talkin', she can't stand Jesus, she's all about Santa, but I'm like, "Hey, honey, do you know what Jesus said about that? Let me tell you the story... " and she's like "Not listening! Wah-wah-wah!"

I would have shoved a cross up your ass and told you to rotate on it. The only reason Christmas is about Jesus is that "The Church" deemed it as such.

Jesus was a summer baby... not a winter baby.

Wasn't the church which merged the Feast of Saturnalia with a celebration of the Morning Star, was the military;

Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus, Princeps et Imperator.

Wasn't a religious decision, it was strategic. The Commander-in-Chief, was attempting to stave off a civil war.

The priorities were Spiderman on Saturday morning, and Hockey Night in Canada on Saturday night, everything else was pot luck.
This is the way it was. Also, adjusting the tin foil on the rabbit ears.

Somebody once pointed out to me that the name of Jesus is like a curse to the wicked. Just uttering the name causes them psychological stress, which is why they get upset when you say the name aloud. You can say Mohammad, Buddha, Krishna, and Moses aloud, but with people like that, saying Jesus will get them upset.

It's one of the little things in life that really was an eye-opener. You all know it's true. The name Jesus gets a lot people uncomfortable.

You just need to exoticize the name abit... Just say you follow an "eastern spiritual movement" started by a wise man called "Yeshua bar Elohim"... :whistle:

I am fine with people saying the name Mohammed, but it really upsets me when they draw images of him. Its quite sickening that they would insult the prophet like that...
