After going through the fall of the cabal i kept getting this feeling that Santa was only created to distract us from Jesus during Christmas...No other religion has this, same with easter and a fucking rabbitt

I grew up in a very small town. We never saw Santa anywhere in our town growing up. I didn't start seeing a Santa until I was in my 20's and he was at the end of the Christmas Parade riding on a Firetruck. Now I see him everywhere. As a child, our parents taught us about Jesus Christ, his birth and the Nativity. We did have several churches in town with Nativity scenes and our father would take us to see them and the Christmas lights. Those were the good times in life I remember most.
The only special Christmas memories I have are of caroling in the snow with our church group in hayride flatbed around town then back to church for cookies and cocoa. Also our neighbor who would pull all of the neighborkids around in his field when it snowed with his tractor on a fiberglass boat top.
That sounds like fun. We did a nativity scene in church when I was about 13. I got to be the narrator and read the Christmas story from Matthew. It was the first time in my life I had an important part; or at that age I thought it to be important.
I love the thought of riding on a fiberglass boat top in the snow. I'll bet every kid around could jump on at the same time.
Oh yeah, I forgot about the Christmas story plays we used to do. They stopped doing them about when I hit jr high for some reason
I'll bet that was a lot of fun. I never did any plays in Jr. or High School. Only elementary and church.
We did all pile on at once. There were 17 neighborkids. Then we’d take turns shoving each other off and racing to catch up and scramble back on.
Wow! Sounds like a lot of fun. I loved playing games with my neighbors. However we didn't get to snow sled because we normally didn't get any snow. I've seen more snow and ice in the last 30 years than I have when I was younger. And I'm 62 years old.
P.S. If I can't get back to you, we are having rolling black outs. Already had 2. First at about 6 AM and the other was at 8:30 Am. Waiting for the next to hit.
