Dear bit-techers, you have my most heartfelt wishes for a suitably adequate humbug celebration for you and yours.
We do know Jesus existed and when, the Romans kept very good records. Now whether he could turn water into wine, cure blindness by touching someone on the head, or do any of the other miracles attributed to him. hundreds of years later when the Bible was written, is more doubtful.
SHUN THE NONBELIEVER But really, merry christmas, lads. I suppose if we're being intellectually consistent we should non-religiously celebrate Hanukkah and Ramadan and the others too, but ehh, something something tradition, something something force of habit. Although - if we culturally enshrined all of them it'd be more calendar excuses to eat and drink to excess. I know Ramadan is about exactly the opposite of that, but hey, we're British, we have to make things our own.
Well I don't know about you lot but I spent last night seeing Christmas in with a double helping of die hard and lethal weapon. Classic Xmas movies.
I dunno - an old work friend would go crazy after sundown. I think one year he actually managed to put on weight.
Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animals! Season's Greetings to you all, enjoy the festivities and stay safe.
Merry Christmas everyone. Now get off the forums and spend time with friends or family as dictated by your local government guidelines.
