Merry Christmas
Dec 23^rd, 2014 at 12:28am

"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, 'Fear not: for behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.' And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.'"

Posts: 2,763 Sweet Virginia Gender:	Re: Merry Christmas Reply #8 - Dec 23^rd, 2014 at 5:11pm Yeah finally got most of my Christmas shopping done today. Had to bug out and fight the crowds, but it was fun. Very few surly people -- everyone was pretty festive. Hoping everyone has a wonderful and safe holiday. Looking forward to 2015. Maybe our band will surprise us this year -- a few shows in the US wouldn't hurt.

Nice one, mate. Weirdly enough, I was listening to the Clash's 'Sandinista!' album when I saw this post.
It's a yearly ritual of mine to listen to it at Crimbo, as that's when I first got the UK import mid-December of '1980. The album just feels like Christmas to me ever since.
And of course the late, great Mikey Dread co-produced, sang, rapped and toasted on several tracks on it.

We may live in a nanny state, but only Him That Was Nailed To The Cross In Your Honor (HTWNTTCIYH) can forgive.

sirmoonie Rocks Off Regular Offline Posts: 3,477 Gender:	Re: Merry Christmas Reply #21 - Dec 24^th, 2014 at 4:11pm Agreed. Enjoy the redemptive nature of this period. See Ephesians 1:7 ("In him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace."). Reflect and take responsibility for your own malfeasance. For you never know when Him come calling.

Merry Keefmas Everyone!
This "12 Days of Keefmas" vid came out last year – fun stuff (though the guy voicing Keef sounds more like Johnny Depp doing Keef)

I thought it only fair that there should be a “12 days of Micksmas”, too…

On the twelfth day of Micksmas Mick Jagger gave to me:
12 Platform Nikes
11 Trysts with Bowie
10 Todgers todging
9 Sequined jumpsuits
8 Hips a-swivelin’
7 Dodgy Mars bars
6 Chicks he’s laying
5 Diamond teeth
4 Baby mamas
3 Plinking Chucks
2 Giant balls
And a most realistic new wig!

Clearly, I've had too much nog...
