    Default The meaning of Christmas

    It's great getting into the spirit of Christmas, buying presents and stocking up on the beer, but lets not forget the real reason for Christmas Day.

    Happy Birthday Santa

    The real reason for Christmas? It’s buying jewelry for the wife, if you don’t think so try not getting her anything

    I”m celebrating the return of the light.
    Only one more week to go and the days will get longer again (in this hemisphere).
    I do like the presents though...

    Take a one carat Emerald and a one carat Diamond both flawless and the Emerald is worth about 6 times what the Diamond is.

For, if it is true that the child was born of the virgin and is mine, then I have no angry God and I must know and feel that there is nothing but laughter and joy in the heart of the Father and no sadness in my heart. For, if what the angel says is true, that he is our Lord and Savior, what can sin do against us? "If God is for us, who is against us?" [Rom. 8:31]. Greater words than these I cannot speak, nor all the angels..." Martin Luther, excerpt from a sermon on 12/25/1530
