You have no idea.

Like I said, it's nice to hear from you.

For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me

Some people will thumb down a post just because of their opinion of the poster who made it.

I wanted to give this particular post both thumbs. 😉

BTW, that wasn't me who gave you the thumbs-down. Mine would have been both green and red. Kind of Christmas-y come to think of it.

Whether you are Christian, other religion, atheist, agnostic, or a combination of these.

Does Christmas mean anything to you, if so, what and how does that meaning or the season itself impact you, your thinking and behaviour at all?

I would not trust you with that information. 🙂

Even though it's about 3 months off?

Are you saying Jesus was a Spring Baby, or have you confused Christmas with Easter?

Wow, I guess Christmas means a lot to you, deep inside.

Oh how you swagger, you toothless flea.

What depth are you referring to? We are only a few inches front to back, and a few more side to side, so any depth you might imagine is only that, imaginary.

You’re the one keeping it a secret, you tell me...

No, 3 months the other way.

I imagine somewhere around Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, which would be another syllogism.

Wheel of Fortune.

Once it gets stuck on a space I like, it never moves again.

Hey, I never claimed Christians were big on thinking for themselves.

You'd do well to brush up on the history of December 25th and its pagan origins.

If you're not interested in going back further than the birth of Christ; you might begin at Rome's "Saturnalia".

Pagan origins are spurious at best.

You'd do better to view history in light of the truth instead of from pagan mythology.

We ain't rough, just our words.

It was eleven days off from the start of this thread.

In this context you make it sound like a platitude.

You don't think Christmas has its origin in paganism?

One of Christianity's greatest strengths was its ability to assimilate the customs of others. It simply wouldn't be here if it hadn't.
