The All Eye Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 I think it's good to rekindle that child-like wonder at least once a year. Christmas means many different things to each person and should be celebrated as such. I like to drink beer, open presents, hang with family, and reminisce about the early days of Christmas spirit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
- TZC - Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 I absolutely despise it, but I spent 180 minutes with a neighbor lacking friends, he spent around 100 pounds on me, I spent around 21 pounds on him. It turns out though that just showing up and spending anything on him made a difference. The few people he knew didn't show up or share anything making me automatically 10 steps up. . I would have liked to have spent more, he's all into brands and prestige, unlike me, but you know things aren't going well for anyone these days.. I couldn't splash out to impress him. You've heard of the thought that counts? give those you know a thought that counts. I explained how my tat might help him, and he saw it. I was cringing at my effort but in the end it was taken as it was given, a positive change and a chance to build from. I really hated facing him, with my tat shat from the back, and thinking this is all another man made ploy he's suckered into, but in the end genuine human interaction worked out alright. Happy new year. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexa Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 (edited) I used to believe that Jesus was born in September, but now I know different. Watch @ 59:25 https://www.deanodle.org/videos-sermons2022 Dean also talks about how the Christmas tree used to be called the 'Paradise Tree' & how the star we put on the top of our trees really represents the north star 'Polaris'.

factJack Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I very much enjoy to eat the food I wouldn't usually eat at other times of the year. For instance its the only time of year I can get a turkey roast dinner. I like the taste so look forward to the xmas day meat. And the other good stuff such as Christmas pudding. The one thing that I despise about Christmas is the awful xmas pop songs that they play over and over. Ones I've heard since childhood. They've seriously over played the likes of slade, the pouges and wham cliff richards, it's like every radio station wants to ram them down your ear canals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See image of a shaman and fly agaric That's mixed with Christian mythology of Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of children and marinated through Victorian era European civilisation and you get our contemporary Christmas. What's wrong with mixing up our mythologies, we've been doing it for thousands of years.

SuperstarNeilC Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Santa Claus is a (hidden in plain sight) representation of the Norse god Thor, associated with strength, storms, hallowing and fertility. He has a long beard, red cloak and rides a chariot through the skies pulled by two goats. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
