For some, maybe, but it’s my birthday and it’s a rotten time to have a birthday. I never had a school party, people are so partied out from the holidays the LAST thing they want is a birthday party. If I get any gifts, it’s always in Christmas wrapping paper, and more often than not, there’s just one package under the tree that’s just held over for opening the next day. After people have given Christmas gifts, birthday gifts go out the window – and that doesn’t happen for any other birthday during the rest of the year. And, I was actually born on the 26th – Jesus most likely wasn’t and Dec 25 was chosen to celebrate his birthday in 336. My birthday was high-jacked centuries before I was born.
I actually look for his comments/stories. Just don’t read the comments if you’re not into it. You’ll be a whole lot happier if you stop trying to control what other people do.
Let’s see. Taking hours to find a parking spot, and only finding one by stalking anyone who looks like they are leaving.The crowds, the whiny kids/adults, the rude teens, pickpockets, the carrying of packages to your car if you can remember where you parked it, explaining to people that no, you’re not leaving yet and they can’t have your parking spot.I was really quite over the whole mall scene way before malls were pretty much over.It’s nostalgic to remember the good things, but there were plenty of annoying things that went with them, and I don’t miss it.
They have different shaped glasses for wine tasting. It affects how the wine breathes, how you smell it, how it flows across your tongue, etc.So I can believe the mug can affect the taste of the coffee.
It was decided in 336 to celebrate Christmas on Dec 25. No one knows exactly when Jesus was born. But it most likely wasn’t during the winter – it’s too cold for shepherds to be out in the fields with the flocks – that happens during lambing season in the spring. So Dec 25 was picked mostly because others were already partying and Christians couldn’t stand it that there were parties they weren’t invited to, so they took the date, said ‘Jesus is the reason for the season’ in an attempt to invalidate these other parties.Happy Solstice to all!
Well, our population is pretty much armed to the teeth. All it will take is some terminal people who have nothing left to lose to decide they want some company on their journey.
