Jesus Is The Reason For The Season

[nailit]

Keep getting this pop up in my social media....
Like humans have never celebrated a mid winter festival before!

[alavahalf]

If you spend all your time researching religion on dodgy sites .. you will get religious pop ups .. 8-)

[Mamyalynne]

Pop Ups are a nuisance - it's an age old phrase and song too.

[Theland]

Well in that case have a happy deep mid winter festival, a happy holiday, a cool Yule, a celebratory Winterfest, and don't let any pesky Christian say otherwise. X

[ummmm]

He's right though, Theland, Christians hijacked Christmas.

[Theland]

They are noted for stealing other people's ideas :-)

[Mamyalynne]

Just spat my tea out.

[AuntPollyGrey]

why? did you put sugar in instead of salt?

[Mamyalynne]

Neither.

[Theland]

Do these New Age adherents still eat turkey, or just
stuff a tin of corned beef?

[AuntPollyGrey]

roasted virgins apparently, very rare,especially in Essex.....

[MallyJ]

and Jesus...should he have existed ....was born in September so I have been told.

[Theland]

September? Well the Queen has two birthdays.
That makes her 186 :-)

[JimF]

There were certainly no shepherds abiding in the fields in mid December.

[Theland]

I may get the Parsons nose, (if corned beef has a Parsons nose).

[Theland]

Jim, shepherds, anybody in fact, abide in the fields, and on the streets, in shop doorways, regardless of the month, to this day :-)

[JimF]

Yeah, that's right. Everything is whatever you say it is.

[Theland]

The shepherds might have had their benefits sanctioned by King Herod.

[JimF]

Would that be the same King Herod who died in (whisper it!) 4BC?

[Theland]

Ah they didn't make very good calendars in those days :-)

They are indeed.
