good thing for it, i love christmas trees.
how does anyone know exactly when jesus was born. or are these best guesses.
I agree, Switch. Yule trees are very pagan/heathenous. But they’ve been adopted and given a Christian meaning (the point at the top represents the star that shown down on the baby Jesus.)
And yes, these are best guesses, no one knows the exact date Jesus was born anymore. It’s rather irrellevant.
All guesses.
From Luke we have arguments for both April and September.
From the Catholic Chruch and subsequent convention December.
Let’s just make it April 15 and be done with it :-P
Well Jully 2nd makes sense. The Shepards where out at night with their flocks, and they certainly wouldnt have been doing so in december, they would be more likely to pasture their flocks at night instead of the heat of the day.
Aside from that I was talking to Jesus the other day (we are pretty tight) And he told me its July 2nd.
I still say we make it April 15.
Taxes and Christmas. Hate and Love.
Of course, the Post Office would go INSANE! LOL
Well belive what you want, but I got it from the horses mouth.
Well, I just communed with the Goddess, and she SWEARS that she gave birth to the male divine entity on April 15 :-P
And I think that we can trust a MOTHER to tell us what day she gave birth!
:mrgreen:
I’d sonner make do the following:
1. Make it illegal to have tax withholdings. Save your money and pay with one big check at the end of the year.
2. Taxes are due no later then 11:59PM EST December 31st. (Like, you know, the end of the year?)
3. Christmas can be moved to May 5th. Let’s screw with the Mexicans!

Think of it! You can celebrate them both by getting drunk and watching your kids go insane trying to figure out how to put together their loud, obnoxious toys! You almost SHOULD be drunk for Christmas as a parent anyway!

Who screwed up the country the most?
Taft
T. Roosevelt
F. Roosevelt
Eisenhower
Truman - Oh my Gawd did he screw us up! He CAUSED the cold war, almost single handedly….Stalin helped a little.
McKinnley
Carter
Clinton
W.
Sr.
Nixon
Kennedy
Johnson
That’s not set in stone in that order, but it’s pretty close. I might flip one or two here or there.
What do you mean by “screwed up the country”? I think you’re dealing in highly subjective terms here, which makes any list of “Biggest Screw-Ups” rather useless.
And while I’m at it, what do you mean, Truman caused the Cold War? FDR caused the Cold War with his pandering to Stalin, and refusal to let Western forces push on into the rest of Germany and Eastern Europe at the close of the European Theater. Truman might not have helped the situation, but FDR instigated it.
Save that crap for another thread. This is about Christmas. I happen to know that it was February 30.

Yea idiots! Christmas is the shiznet!
Eisenhower? My God what are you smoking Jen?
Teddy? Well he screwed other countries up, especially Spain, but wrong again!
W? Everybody knows W kicks ass, and its the dumbasses in Congress who have screwed things up.
Jesus Jen, get with the picture!
@M36:
W? Everybody knows W kicks a**, and its the dumbasses in Congress who have screwed things up.
Logically incorrect, sir. I do not know this (true or not). ergo, not everybody knows this.
What is Doubyas solution to most problems? Send in the Marines! Doubya definatly kicks ass.
I did not say that he didn’t kick ass.
I only said that I do not know that he does.
Therefore, you are incorrect when you state that "Everyone knows … "
As a parallel example, I would be incorrect if I said “Everyone knows humanity is causing global warming.” Switch does not believe (or know) this, so I would be wrong to claim that everyone did.
