Ever since junior high I've been kind of cynical about Christmas. I recall an 8th grade art class where we were to design our own greeting cards. I thought mine were pretty cool, but the art teacher did not agree. One said season's greetings on the outside and when you opened it up a fold up hand appeared flipping the bird. The other announced on the outside that there would be no Christmas. Opened up there was a coffin with an evergreen wreath on it and a statement under the coffin saying that Santa was dead. It had nice artwork, too. Ah well. About ten years ago I stopped going through the motions of Christmas except gifts for grandchildren. Now I do a pipe ceremony on the Solstice celebrating increasing light, incorporating the spiritual aspect of Christmas and skipping the commercial part. This year will be even more special with a lunar eclipse the night of the solstice. Pretty cool.

It's the same house, across from where I lived. This was 18 inches of flood back in 2005-
Then imagine the same house with SEVEN FEET of water- three quarters up that picture window, in the "100 Year Flood" the Summer of '08.

This man lost both legs to diabetes since.
We are not living in an amusement park, people.

Bought a card for my boss a couple of years ago:
Two houses, one with Santa on the roof, stepping into a chimney, on the other roof was a fiddler. The house Santa was on had a manorah in the front window, the one the fiddler was on had a Christmas tree. The two were looking at each other across the gap...My boss, a Jew, said it was the best Christmas/ Hanukkah card he'd ever recieved.

Cool stories guys, SB, Corgi, Teachers have no sense of humour... They must take after Dad too much, heh heh. Don't let them take your humour to school, :D


here's my contribution... to 'different x-mas songs'
Sounds like Lee Emery singing:
YouTube - Grandma Got Remixed by a Reindeer

And now because I watched this and have it stuck in my head, you all get to have it stuck in your head too:
