I teared up a couple of times while the kids opened gifts this morning. My daughter gave us each handmade cards that were truly heartfelt, and my son gave her a teddy bear he's had for nine years. She was utterly stunned. The boy child has been engrossed with the snap circuit set we got for him, and the girl has been assembling LEGOS all day. I haven't heard a peep from them.

Reason.com: A professor at the University of Central Florida thinks the safest way to greet other people during the Christmas season is to wish them a "Happy Federal Holiday." This bright idea belongs to Terri Fine, a professor of political science at the University of Central Florida, who recently penned a column outlining her vision: http://today.ucf.edu/a-holiday-greeting-that-applies-to-everyone/ Pretty sure Terri id s "Terri", IYKWIM.

Pretty faithful to the original, but what surprised me most was her rendition of "Put Your Arms Around Me Honey", because my mom used to sing that to me when I was really little, and I never knew where the song came from.Just as in "Shop Around the Corner", the "big reveal" takes place at Christmas.As to favorite Christmas movies, I also like "We're No Angels" with Humphrey Bogart, "Donovan's Reef" with John Wayne and Lee Marvin, and "Holiday Affair" with a 20 year-old Janet Leigh and Robert Mitchum:http://bit.ly/1OrjARQ Posted by: Reno_Dave at December 25, 2015 05:52 PM (n6gHv) 124

I'm always a bit uncomfortable when people start saying things like "oh, look at Ken Griffey" (or any of the others who aren't associated with steroid use). Yeah, likely only Griffey and his personal trainer know. Personally, I assume they were all using, and the extra dumb ones were the guys taking the stuff that made them rage and look like the Hulk.

I baked and cooked all day yesterday and the day before. I'm not cooking until the new year. I made a tres leches bread pudding that made a believer out of my husband. He's never liked it until now. I'll be sweating out butter and and cream at the gym next week. Totally worth it.

Well, merry Christmas, you guys!
Excellent Christmas here, had lots of family over. Got some much desired Amazon gift cards, (already spent on some neat gadgety components, like a 100 watt LED module, and buck converter to drive it. The next bastard that parks across the street in the middle of the night at the school, shining his brights at my house is gonna get a face full right back). The dishes are already done, on account of we did most of the heavy cooking, and cleaning yesterday. The wife never even changed out of her pajama's today. A totally relaxed, and enjoyable Christmas so far! I hope everyone's Christmas was/is as enjoyable this year as mine.

Netanyahu Hopes For Greater Security For Christians In Christmas Greeting
Bibi didnt have to take a break from vacation or golfing. In a video posted Thursday to extend his Christmas greetings, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he hopes for greater security and freedom for all Middle Eastern Christians. I am proud to say that Israel is one of the few countries in the Middle East, maybe the only country in the Middle East, where Christians are truly free to practice their faith openly, freely to celebrate Christmas and other Christian holidays, Netanyahu said. The state of Israel is a beacon of liberty in a Middle East plagued by oppression and extremism, he said, adding, It is my fervent hope, my fervent prayer, that 2016 is marked by greater security and freedom for all Christians across the Middle East.

This used to happen at raves. MDMA isn't one of the world's worst methamphetamine-cousins, but it does induce compulsive thought-patterns and play tricks on the memory. So if a raver is told "bro, you need to stay hydrated" then he'll... do that. And keep doing that. And do it some more to make sure.

Both male adults lied on their visa applications. One didnt disclose his arrest and deportation from Israel and the other didnt disclose his criminal record. Game over! And since they are the ones who lied they know why they were barred from entry. If they had not lied, they would have never had their visas approved inadvertently. So, they and the international press can go suck balls. I'm tired of their lying. It's amazing that the press will lie to enable terrorists to enter this country. Scum.

By no stretch of the imagination am I Mr. Family Values, but that pile of smug shit on film turns my stomach. Posted by: derit Heh!! Andy Levy and Greg Gutfield agree. I saw it once. I was underwhelmed. Posted by: Puddleglum at December 25, 2015 07:34 PM (NGd+i) 283
Had a very nice Christmas myself. Bought the SIL and myself matching air rifles. We were getting them sighted in and he said he thought the vertical and horizontal scope adjustments were swapped at the factory. I think he's full of crap.

One of the vignettes is about infidelity and the guy looks like a schmuck. Liam Neeson's character does need a good beating, though. Posted by: fluffy at December 25, 2015 07:35 PM (AfsKp) 285

So if a raver is told "bro, you need to stay hydrated" then he'll... do that. And keep doing that. And do it some more to make sure.
Posted by: boulder terlit hobo at December 25, 2015 07:27 PM (6FqZa) Man, I never got the appeal of that rave shit. Had some friends who would talk about the stuff they did: it was all "Oh, yeah, I got stuck in the K-hole..." and "Some fat chick on EX bit me and I freaked out, ran 6 miles home, and couldn't leeave my room for 2 days." crap. Why can't y'all do FUN drugs?

Now that Christmas is over I told myself I have to be careful with my shopping. I have been buying a new clothes and sneaking them in with the Christmas packages. They show up at the door like little ISIS fighters mixed in with the refugees and nobody is any the wiser. 3 beers in and I already broke my promise. Just ordered leather pants to wear to Vegas in a few weeks. After hitting send it dawned on me the right move would have been to add to cart and decide in the morning if I really needed them.

It really was nice, the minister was a friend we both worked with and he really made it special.
Posted by: antisocialist at December 25, 2015 07:30 PM (cDs+4) ============================================== I think it makes it that much nicer when you have a relationship with the minister. I'm guessing there were a few tears during your wedding - it sounds so "from the heart". Posted by: grammie winger, Unto us a Son is given at December 25, 2015 07:39 PM (dFi94) 290

When originally posted there was no date. I taught US history in college. Don't start. I know shit. I mean I really do. I also spent a summer at Valley Forge. Truly a disaster. How much you want to know? Here all night, unless the rum puts me down. Posted by: Nip Sip at December 25, 2015 07:31 PM (jJRIy) Fair enough. But if you taught US History in college (I teach European and American History at University, btw, and have published academic articles and books, who my publishers tell me have been bought by dozens of actual people, and possibly even read by one or two, if we are comparing bona fides), then you should know that Valley Forge was 1777, and Trenton was 1776. My drink is Hungarian pálinka, home made of course, and it is early in the morning, so I won't be long for the land of the conscious, unfortunately.

Oh my....it was just a shopping story about my lack of willpower! I don't have them yet as I just ordered. I should have finished my post by saying it was the beer that made me do it and I do have a 4 as the first number in my age so probably not appropriate and may go back! We'll see.

Molly, get down with your bad self. Wear the pants. It's only age inappropriate if you just wear a jog bra for a top. The leather pants are fine.

Posted by: FenelonSpoke at December 25, 2015 07:53 PM (qES5k) Of course it's ok. Yes, I work security at our church. It's a 150 acre facility, not your average church on the corner, so we're here 24/7. Posted by: Blano at December 25, 2015 08:09 PM (heN73) 330

I was sort of kidding. I haven't really had to drink for decades-when I was younger. I find that as I get older I can't tolerate alcohol very well, so two cups of wine is quite enough. Posted by: FenelonSpoke at December 25, 2015 08:12 PM (qES5k) 334

My second mil absolutely hated my guts for years,
- Many years ago, thirty-eight to be exact, my sister was engaged to a guy. She dumped him and married another guy who was older than her and divorced from his first wife. About a year ago, he had a lung transplant that never really took and he died a few weeks ago. For the last year, my mother has been fit to be tied. She hated it that my sister had to devote so much time to her ailing husband and made no bones about her belief that it was time for him to, uh, move on. Even after his death she is on about how we should never have had to go through this because my sister should have married # 1 fiance. So a mere 38 year relationship don't mean shit.
