NOTHING! please spare us all your heart rending bullS.. this is just to appease YOUR guilty conscious. for another year... feel absolved now?? pathetic :-/
Well, you are wrong LongShot, this story helped me and filled me up with joy. Thank you Avalanche....Go away Longshot. Michael B.
http://www2.worldbook.com/features/holidays/html/history.htm#s1 This link describes very well the history of the celebration of Christmas, or Christ's birth. As with a number of traditions in the Christian church, the celebration of Christmas is not spelled out per se in the Bible. However, the celebration of the Saviour's birth is in the heart. Giving gifts is in the heart. Treating others the way you wish to be treated is in the heart. So for those of you who, like me, will be celebrating the birth of Jesus tomorrow and giving gifts to our loved ones... Merry Christmas.
after all this time I've finally used the ignore feature,what a waste this longshot thing is. Merry Christmas to the rest of you. Mike
surf, thanks for all your responses. you are the best, and i mean that. i hope you and your family have a very merry Christmas and happy newyear. thats why we do what we do anyway. all the best in the year to come, eddie
LOL, you have made my Xmas. "You think you gotta keep me iced You don't You think I'm gonna spend your cash I won't Even if you were broke My love don't cost a thing Think I wanna drive your Benz I don't If I wanna floss I got my own Even if you were broke My love don't cost a thing" --- JLo (she really wants the pikers of the world) Politically its necessary to post stories of compassion and heartfelt joy and say that money really isn't worth much. But lets be honest: "They say money can't buy happiness? Look at the fucking smile on my face. Ear to ear, baby. " --- Boiler Room I do wonder why they divorce rate is 50% and why so many couples argue about their financial matters if money really doesn't matter. Happy Holidays.
Why can't every day be a happy day?.....I can figure out a lie about some birth if you would like and justify it because it has been a tradition.....if you would like... Hey the the clay doesn't tell the potter how to form him....think about it....Where were you when the earth and the heavens were formed?..... Michael B.
