MERRY CHRISTMAS

Quote of the Day

Christmas is the season of giving.

“A gift is pure when it is given from the heart to the right

person at the right time and at the right place, and when

we expect nothing in return.”

Bhagavad Gita

Joke of the Day #1

Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates. “In honor of this holy season,” Saint Peter said, “You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven.” The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. “It represents a candle”, he said. “Very well, you may pass through the pearly gates,” Saint Peter said. The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, “They’re bells.” Saint Peter said, “You may also pass through the pearly gates.” The third man started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women’s panties. St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, “And just what do those symbolize?” The man replied, “These are Carol’s.”

Limerick of the Day

Old Santa had such a lovely beard,

Who once said, “It is just as I feared!

Two owls and a hen,

Four larks and a wren,

Have all built their nests in my beard!”

🤡🤡🤡

Joke of the Day #2

One Christmas Eve, Santa was under a lot of stress. He and Mrs. Claus had just had a fight, it was nearly time to leave, and his sleigh wasn’t loaded, and the elves were talking about going on strike. Then an angel walked into his office and asked, “Hey, Santa, what do you want me to do with this Christmas tree?” And so was born the tradition of there being an angel on top of the Christmas tree.

12-02-2015 Journal–My Christmas Wish!   Leave a comment

I realized this morning that my Christmas spirit is a little different this year. In years past I’ve been identified by many people who care about me as being a bit of a Grinch. In other years they’ve considered me jolly and fun to have around in the holidays. Which is it this year?

I feel like I have a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde thing going on when it comes to Christmas.  Most of the time my feelings for the holidays can go either way depending on who annoys me and who doesn’t.  I have such mixed feelings about the whole Christmas deal it’s difficult at times for me to celebrate much of anything.

While I myself am not all that religious, most of my best Christmas memories come from a childhood where religion was a huge part of the celebration. I’ve  pretty much given up on it ever being a religious holiday again because over the years it’s morphed into much more of a secular celebration where buying and receiving gifts is everything.

I’ve been forced to reevaluate my entire Christmas experience this year with a new attitude. I’ve decided to be the best damn consumer I can be and spend money a little more freely than usual.  Without the cloud of religion things become instantly clearer.  Be nice to everyone, spend a lot of money, and make it about the kids and not much else. At least the emotions I’ll see on their little faces will be genuine and that’s as good as it gets anytime.  Finding anything genuine at Christmas these days is almost as rare as finding a few honest men.

So bring on the kids and hopefully some of their legitimate Christmas spirit will rub off on all of the cynical types like me.  That’s my Christmas wish for this year.

AND A POLITICALLY INCORRECT  “MERRY CHRISTMAS” TO ALL
