Am I the only one whose Revelation 12 spidey sense is going off? It looks...biblical.

Is there an embargo on red lipstick that I don't know about? Just askin'

Taking children away for the white slave trade --festive!

Oh oh oh! Raises hand - me me me! PLEASE read The Battle for Christmas: A Cultural History of America's Most ... The Battle for Christmas, by Stephen Nissenbaum, is a fascinating study of opposing views of the Christmas celebration in America.

All this information and more is in here, including when Christmas came indoors, John Canoe, setting the slaves free for 2 weeks during the holidays and very very blotto ladies.

Au contraire! Lots of people care what I do in my private time, and a lot of them are from the government.

Tribes are their own nations and we have treaties with them. Just like say the French. They should be able to negotiate our country without giving up more of their own.

Cajun is a huge asset and it IS American. Anyone not supporting Cajun should be sentenced to an etuffee-free existence. Quell horror!

Yet

English PLUS Cajun and all the Native languages. Sometimes I am tempted to ask for an interpreter for Tlinget or Inuit just to watch them scramble, the racists.

As an Alaskamo, I am totally FOR this change back! Alaskans have always called the mountain McKinley.

Next they are going to try and change Nome, Alaska back "NAME" Alaska.

Nancy Green- she was a STAR!

Nancy Green - the original and real Aunt Jemima! (none of this AI Aunt Jemima crap)

Probably the same thing as in Panacur.<

Turn over the box. Ignore the pretty picture on the front.

Give "The Battle for Christmas" The Battle for Christmas: A Cultural History of America's Most Cherished Holiday Paperback – October 28, 1997 by Stephen Nissenbaum (Author) 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 286 ratings See all formats and editions PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST • Drawing on a wealth of research, this "fascinating" book (The New York Times Book Review) charts the invention of our current Yuletide traditions, from St. Nicholas to the Christmas tree and, perhaps most radically, the practice of giving gifts to children.

Anyone who laments the excesses of Christmas might consider the Puritans of colonial Massachusetts: they simply outlawed the holiday.

It's a wonderful read; I think you will like it.

It's NOT the same. -every pineapple pizza ever.

I was reading a thread about this with people talking about the one gift they really wanted as a child and didn't get. I think this year we should get ourselves those dream toys that we still are thinking of 20, 30 or 40 years later. Easy bake ovens, stretch Armstrong, etc.
Advanced gift givers can ferret out the long lost desire of friends and family and do a little detective and eBay work this year.

Hahaha. I love the tree (would use different colors personally)

Alas...pets.

Winter White House.

Set out your shoes and the hay! St. Nicholas is coming today!

I will be looking for chocolate myself. You?

Eww, eww, eww. Stop that right now.

Aren't those "C" rations?
But I digress. I am very thankful to all of the frens here. This place has made all the difference. I wish you all a wonderful day and the brightest future.'

Never, ever buy or eat meat from a halal butcher.

Ireland?

If you are so inclined, send a note of thanks to the Amish newspaper: "The Budget" or "The Sugarcreek Budget".
I'm sure they would appreciate your message.

He doesn't care. If you do I wouldn't order from his company afterwards.

I can second using "The Spice House".
All the flavorful goodness without the bat-shit crazy propaganda of HATE.

Bill Penzey has been a wack job for years. His sister and her husband run "The Spice House" (that's why you'll see a different last name). It is a good product. Highly recomend.
