Well...technically, it wouldn't be "Christmas", but would be called the "Saturnalia festival" or "Juvenalia". Well go ahead and spoil my fun, then... brat! rofl

I wrote an article last year about some of the traditions of Christmas: http://karmagirl.joeuser.com/index.asp?AID=36527 Great article, Karma... I did know that most scholars believe Christ was born in the Spring... but I had read that the Catholic church declared December 25th as Christmas not so much to a

There is now a church over it in Bethlehem, but it definitely reminded me more of a cave than a manger--kind of a hole dug out of rock. It's pretty awe inspiring nonetheless. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting that region. Hmm.. born in a cave hewn from rock... then He died and was buried in a tomb, he

Did You Know?? in Misc JoeUser Forums

I've been running across miscellaneous Christmas trivia today, and thought some of it was really kinda cool. A couple of these little known facts were things I hadn't heard before, and some I did know, but figured that many might NOT know... so this thread is meant to be a collection of little known Christmas facts. I'll list mine... feel free to share yours :)

At his funeral, Gerri said..."He really loved you, Sabrina." I said..."I know, Gerri." And then she totally broke my heart, because until that moment I didn't know if SHE knew just how much he loved me, but she hugged me and said..."I wish he had loved me the same way." What a sad, tragic story, LW... ((((((

His books continue to sell well in stores today....over 40 years after his death and remain just as relevant as then. They are timeless and the type of reading that I enjoy. There are so many classic authors that were just incredible... and timeless. There are treasures to be found in the classics, that's f

I like to twist folks and say, "Happy Candlemas" or "Happy festivus" since I don't hear anyone wishing me a "Happy Buddha's birthday!" when that occurs.....Maybe I should sue! Have at it, SSG! <TD class="mb

There was an item on the news here recently about a store owner that had a sign in their window: We wish you a Merry Christmas in this store. If this bothers you, please, upon entering yell out as loud as you can "Bah, Humbug", and we will then tell you "Happy Holidays".I like that! I love this!!!

Ok... for the record, I have nothing against the phrase "Happy Holidays." At least I didn't until this year. I never thought a thing about it... until it became a substitute for "Merry Christmas" in a blatant attempt to eliminate religion from Christmas. Goodness knows we wouldn't want to offen the what? 8 percent that have a problem with Christmas? One of m

I haven't read them yet either... but intend to. I fell in love with Lewis after reading Mere Christianity. I read Screwtape Letters too, but didn't like them as much as MC. Other than those two books, I've seen a lot of Lewis quoted... and loved all of it. Can't wait to read the Narnia Chronicles and then go see the film. Coincidentally (or maybe not), I just started "The Holy Wild" by Mark Buchanan. He quotes an excerpt from the Chronicles t

Reply to There's a furby in the house! in Misc JoeUser Forums

LOL... we HATED furbies! Not sure I'd be all that crazy about the new ones either, but I guess we'd have to have one to find out for sure... and, well... I simply don't CARE that much. ROFL. I think you're right, Dharma... it just doesn't like you. LOL Not to hijack your thread... but I wanted to ask if you had a pattern for any kind of knitted clothes that would fit a 16" doll... my girlfriend is making the dolls (they're adorable)
