Posted 2 hours ago


(Staff) -- In an early morning interview wednesday, officials with the Canadian military stationed at NORAD have confirmed an unidentified flying object has entered Canadian airspace.

Gen. Chris Mass told the Standard- Freeholder the object is moving south from the North Pole. Mass said the craft appears to be about the size of a sleigh -and is being led by a glowing red light.

Merry xmas to all.

In the spirit of the season (and I take the point that spirit should last all year) I'm going against my better judgement and posting this. It's the only poem I've ever written, it was a few years ago now and I feel it represents those who don't really connect with the festivities. Enjoy, and season's greetings to all.

Christmas is a time of giving
Living well and loving living
Joy and drinking all day long
Listening to old Christmas songs

Decorations, lights and holly
Christmas is so very jolly
Santa on his magic sleigh
Dumping presents on his way

Baby Jesus, Joseph, Mary
All so jaded, ordinary
Time to find a different tale
This one seems so very stale

Where’s the guns, excitement, dangers?
Battles with the Texas Rangers?
Stuff this message of goodwill
I want blood and guts to spill!

Alien landings, not damned mangers
Red hot sex with total strangers!
Mindless violence without end
Christmas drives me round the bend!

Real Christmas is found only in the heart. Today's celebration belongs not just to one religion, but all people. You are the gift you give and receive.-- Alan Cohen

I got to say I had a lousy Christmas. I hope the prophets are right and 2009 Christmas is cancelled.

Going to say, 2008 has been the worst year of my life, and after 2007 I thought it couldn't get any worse!

well swanny ... thanks for the offer of your slippers but i will pass as i received slippers as well ... not one pair but TWO ... not different ones but THE SAME ... same color too!

i too am grateful, more than the slippers, must be some kind of message in there somewhere ... in the process of trying to figure this one out

you have great energy, i like that!

wear them well ...

I didn't get one single present. Sure its not the recieving but the giving that matters, but, it still hurts when yuo have nothing at all.

2006, 2007 and 2008? the three darkest years of my life.


However, there are millions living out doors, without food and without a warm bed, so i really should stop my moaning; its just that misery is subjective to the experiencer - and some times we cannot see past our own experience and witness the massive positivity in our lives.

I for one am sure a Brazilian street child would of loved my warm bed and food at the table today. I should in fact be very grateful.

But i'm not. 2006/7/8 sucked.

Yea Egg your right we should be grateful for what we have
It's the thought that counts, but that's what plsses me off, I put time and effort into buying what I thought were meaning full and good gifts for my sister and her kids and all I get in return are a pair of fecking slippers.
Obviously loads of thought went in to that gem of a gift, I shall cherish them forever.

It wouldn't be so bad but even my dad told me not to bother about presents this year, well bollocks to him I got him something

futureyes maybe this year is the year of the slipper

There is a Christmas message from Christopher Story on his website - www.worldreports.org. Not like his usual reports and took me very much by surprise. It was a joy to me to see this "other side" of Christopher Story, though I realise not everyone will see it that way. However, maybe we can all accept that there is a place to find hope in the present world situation (and our personal situations too).

From a very different area - Channel4 in Britain aired an "alternative Christmas message" (the Queen does the formal one) which was given in person by Iran's President -Arminijad (should have checked the spelling of this before I posted!). I found this very inspring as well. Basically he was saying how he felt Jesus Christ would act and be in our present world, for example, for justice and peace and against "occupiers and terrorists, against bullying and expansionists".(I paraphrase).

All this said very quietly and reiterating his good wishes and goodwill. He was coming from the standpoint of a Moslem accepting Jesus Christ as a prophet, and it sounded genuine with his goodwill to all celebrating the birth of Jesus.

The media (and I believe the government as well) have condemned Channel 4 for airing this. As far as what he said is concerned - he would be torn apart whatever he said. I had a strong feeling that most of the folk on this forum would agree with him!

A final word - I do think Steve A's idea of giving a gift to a stranger is a great one. Perhaps we could all take it up next year.

Best wishes to all

I certainly hope he doesn't believe all of that stuff that he wrote, as it is very harsh towards paganism:

Quote:
All pagan gods were and are in fact manifestations of the familiar ancient darkness, facilitating the possession of deluded worshippers by satanic demons. Since and where the light had not shone in the darkness, Satan always had and has a permissive ball: this may offend our manic modern sense of 'fairness', but 'that's the way it was and is
I know my brother would challenge this passage (he is a Wiccan).

Otherwise, interesting message, though I have seen that Mr.Story gets a frosty reception on here.

As much as I'd like to believe him, I'd like to see him clarify his beliefs on the Holocaust as they've either been exaggerated or misquoted by Western media. Perhaps not. Who really knows?
