I voted "Happy Holidays" in that I wish to be "respectful" of everyone and all belifs
Happy Holidays is lexicon and everyone knows that
Happy Holidays is lexicon and everyone knows that
My tree is still in the living room with the fake presents under it.
It's not so much drawn out celebration as supreme laziness.
I mean it's already end of June so why put it away now. We're halfway there again.
That don't work with @dchawk81 - he wuz hatched...My Mom & Dad used to tell me if ya dont "behave" ya get a lump.of coal
Afew before I got suspended from school
Christmas Eve Dad put kingsford charcoal in my stocking to **** with me and ma played along too
Next day got all my presents and future Chritmases I always "behaved"
Doesnt matter too me anymore
Happy Canada DayWhatchoo talkin’ ‘boot, Willis?
For me it was church and X-Mas..I say "Merry Christmas". Even if someone says something else to me such as "happy holidays", I respond with "Merry Christmas".
Xmas is supposed to be shorthand.For me it was church and X-Mas..
Our minister explained that "Christmas " is "Christ" Must I dunno that sound like Pig Latin whatever..
But to shorten it "X" Mas is something like leaving "Christ" outta the Picture I guess.
Nonetheless these days ya just say "Happy Holidays" so ya don't "Offense" anybody else
I think allotta people are just Too Lazy actually spell out "Christmas"..Xmas is supposed to be shorthand.
I call bullshit. If it was shorthand, it would be "Cmas".
People who write "Xmas" are atheists who will end up burning in hell if they don't mend their heathen ways.
The letter C is faster to write than an X. It's only one stroke of the pen vs two.I think allotta people are just Too Lazy actually spell out "Christmas"..
Look at how all these young people post in like 3/4 letter or accrynyms
Surely they were tackled by loss prevention, trespassed, escorted off the premises, and banned from all stores for life as you walked away.Today I got a heartfelt Merry Christmas from the cashier at the Wal Mart. To which I gave a heartfelt Merry Christmas. I was surprised, I thought Wal Mart associates had to say happy holidays.
I was doing my Christmas shopping. Yes, I did my shopping today. ( don't look at me like that). I am a man! I can change if I have to, I guess but, Not bloody likely! lol
But the freight volume though.Not participating in your thinly disguised orgy of crass commercialized mass consumption, from the viewpoint of an unrepentant but enlightened heathen, is quite refreshing.
It's Merry Christmas for all humans.It's Merry Christmas if you are a Christian. Happy Holidays for the rest of them.
How about having just a little "Faith" in your Heart too..I think Christianity as a whole is a sham and the Serpent got a bad rap. After that its all about banking and controlling people.
The Serpent offers knowledge and self empowerment.
What god doesn't want his people to be knowledgeable and empowered but instead insists on obedience and dependence?
Dependent people are a pain in the ass.
What "loving" God would create a hell and subject people to it?
How about having just a little "Faith" in your Heart too..
Things do "Turn Around" eventually..
Are ya praying.....ya giving "Thanks"..
Sometimes You are "Stuck" in a "Struggle" might be the Fight Of Your "Life" too..
Nonetheless our God our "Creator" already "Knows" you're "Proclivities" already He "Made" You ..
Think about that for a second or two ..
Also @Sinister did ya ever ask the "simple" question what are "You" doing 2 be a "Blessing" 2 somebody else too..
Even at the "A/A" Meeting we only keep what we have by "Giving" it Away..
For example this was the Movie about Bill W the "Founder" of A/A..
The middle of a Great Depression and a Buisness deal gone way "Bad" in Akron Ohio he was Pee-Broke and eyeballing the hotel bar thinking about it..
He found a Church Pamphlet and a roll of Nickels for Payphone & met "Dr Bob" ..
Together they "Founded" Alcoholic Anonymous in Dr Bob's house..
I do "completely" Understand that that makes absolutely "Zero" Sense although to "Normal" People ya ain't never "Walked" a Day nor even have the "Thinking" Capacity 2 put yourself in someone else's "Shoes" and go walk a few miles either.I remember a "Meeting" back afew "relapses" ago how he "eventually" got sober is he would go down to Waukegan the "ATP" & Homeless Shelters..
He went 2 meetings but that didn't keep him "Sober" itself..
By reaching out and going to the "Crack-Ghetto" of Waukegan Illinois that's how he really stopped..
By just "Volunteering" and talking to people just outta Prison that's what got him "Sober"..
He said sometimes they were "Bums" just using him for a Free ride or needed a $20 spot or if they were hungry he'd take em buy em McDonald's or Taco Bell
Too really get "Sober" I guess he hadda go back "Down" 2 that Level
Big Question is am I gonna take "Blessing" & live up my full "Potential"..It's a beautiful day..
Nothing fancy or extraordinary..
Almost Midnight & I am happy thank the "Lord" got another day in this "Cesspool"
