The war on Christmas??

[Hardrock69]

Christmas is the time of year when people buy each other presents, and get some time off from work to get ripped.

That's ALL it is.

If other peeps want to think Satan is miserable on that day, or Jebus was hatched on that day or their dog can talk at midnight or the earth is flat....more power to 'em.

I wake up in the morning. Have something to eat. Drink my morning goddamn coffee, and get on with my motherfucking day.

JUST LIKE ANY OTHER FUCKING DAY!

An agnostic is a hypocritical atheist.... next question....

Oh bullshit.....



An agnostic doesn't claim certainty.... unlike everyone else on this planet..

Guess why it is called "faith".....because you don't know shit about what is really fact. No one does.

[LoungeMachine]

Yes they do. I have yet to meet an atheist who doesn't moan and bitch at the first sight of a crucifix.

Do you charge extra for those?



Or is that part of the whips and chains package?

Not really. An agnostic is a person who just doesn't know if god exists or not. They are in neutral so to speak. An atheist says they know god does not exist. Basically you have to have faith that there is no god to be an atheist where an agnostic doesn't have faith in anything.

For a lot of people it's the big family holiday. It's when the parents are off of work and the kids are out of school. A lot of families will go on their vacation over the holidays. Then of course you have family traditions which are great.

Here's a present I got at a Christmas party on Saturday. What's not to like about Christmas???

It's a booze aquarium. Nice of them to give you a glass so you don't get backwash in the Gentleman Jack.

[DONNIEP]

Ya know - it does look like a Jack Daniels aquarium! I think Dave has one too.

Plus my little un still believes in Santa which is totally class ...

Dude - that's the best thing on Earth! There's nothing like seeing 'em wake up and be all amazed at what Santy Claus brung 'em!! Class all the way. Back when my kid still believed we had a tradition where Santy would hide one present. And now, even tho she knows the deal, she still enjoys looking for that one hidden present. Good times, damn good times

[Hardrock69]

Lol. Go for it dude. Make it the greatest Christmas of your life. The kids will always thank you for it!

At least when I was growing up, I DID have Christmases.....and was allowed to uh...believe in the traditional mythology......something every kid should be able to do, lol.

[vandeleur]

It's all good , but it's not just for the kids . I may raise a toast or two to my brethren here at the army :D

Christmas...


when I was little it was magic....pure magic.

Mom would get us to help in making ornaments, making cookies, decorating the tree, listening to old Christmas albums. And Christmas eve we would go to Grandparents house for such a terrific meal and get to open the gifts from them. Then the drive home Dad would always point out Santas sleigh with Rudolphs red nose out front so we had to hurry home to bed. I didn't realize until later that the San Diego airport flightpath was on our way home & those rudolph noses were incoming flights.

When I got a little older it became a time when everything changed and I was the one who enjoyed giving one great gift to each person. Something that when they'd open it they would grin ear to ear, laugh out loud, maybe tear up...something that they would remember as the best gift that year from anyone. I put a lot of effort into it and would really get some great gifts for people that meant alot to them.

Now I'm much older, don't have friends around, grandparents & mom are gone, no dogs to stick reindeer ears on, no family worth a phone call, and no huge meal to look forward to. With those gone all I see is the commercialism, politics, and fighting between religious & non religious types over a time of year that used to be special. No reason to play along any more for me. Makes me sad when I hear of people spending more time in line before a store opens up than at home gathered on the couch watching Charlie Brown. Sad indeed.

My traditional Christmas afternoon involves a coupla Black Velvets. All shall be raised to the Army. The last few perhaps more so than the first

[Nitro Express]

Black Velvet. We used to drive by this big billboard when I was a kid and it had those sexy classy Black Velvet women on it. It remained a Black Velvet billboard for years but the women on it would change. All I knew is I wanted a Black Velvet woman when I grew up.
