They may choose to give gifts, if they can afford to, but they don't "Owe" them to anyone. If something is "Owed", it isn't a gift, its an entitlement, like welfare. -- Merry Christmas!

Sheesh..talk about taking things too literally. I also said that they 'owed' you things like socks and underwear. Think of it as the cost of maintenance of said progeny versus the optional gift giving. Terrell?

But seriously.... let us never forget the significance of this day. Beyond
the commercial hype, the naysayers, and the evil wrought by men.. we need to thank God for sending His son to us, so that we may have our sins washed away, our souls cleansed.*************************** Greetings and the same to you. Reach out to (and love)your enemies (some of which may be here in this group) for "what good is it to love just your friends if you lose your soul." |

Any relatives in Calgary Alberta? mike I long ago grew weary of the commercialism applied to Christmas. Every year it becomes harder and harder to fined any evidence of the true meaning of Christmas. People tell you its our "Duty" to go deeper into debt to buy horrendous amounts of "gifts". I heard a kid tell his mother he was going to call the state of Florida's child welfare group and claim he was abused if she didn't buy him a very expensive toy. I don't hear any true Christmas music. "White Christmas", "Jingle bells" and other secular music is not Christmas music. It is simply politically correct BS trying to mask the fact that Jesus Christ was born. Sorry, I don't know of any relatives in Canada. My dad's mother died when I was little. She was the family historian, going back four or five generations, so very little of our family history was written down. I was born in Kentucky, and raised in SW Ohio. -- Merry Christmas!

Heh... AMEN to that.... so sad, but true.
There were some really good historical things on the lesser watched channels tonight about the meaning for the season. Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas, and do take the time to give God thanks for being in a position to take part in the commercialization of the holiday in the first place. If you're interested in the abridged version, here is a quick history of Christmas from the Christian standpoint. There are others (pagan rituals) that occur at the same time and sometimes get confused as "Christmas". http://www2.worldbook.com/features/h...ml/history.htm And yes, it will do SSB and cover all subspace frequencies. :-) rb "Michael A.
