Today's Christmas

[nitefyre]

Hmm, my pops got an atlas of the oceans and all that. It looked as smart as paint.

[thatsmartguy]

I got:

30gig VIDEO iPod: its black, I love it, and yes I am bragging.

Guitar Hero: Rock Rock On! I've never felt so popular holding a big plastic game controller.

First 4 books of the Dresden Files: Its like a more mature Harry Potter, without the school, and the accents.

Plastic Toy Compound Bow: The mofo of all bows! At least that's what the box says, no kidding, its pretty powerful too, many a pet will fear me now.

Harry Potter Soundtrack: Great for roleplaying sessions.

Bathrobe and slippers: Just when my family thought I couldn't look more like a slacker

Otherwise I just got a couple nice shirts, pants, and jackets.

I got a video game that consisted mostly of shooting people and a book about the crusades. What better way to celebrate Christs birth than to give away books about the some of the most horrible acts blasphemesly committed in his name? Actually, several of the crusading leaders had reasonably good intentions, but there's still the evil count who spent his "crusade" pillaging Jewish villages. And that's just wrong. But, ironically, it was stated in the scriptures that the Jews would get the worst of these things. And boy, have they. Have I accidently offended anyone yet? Because I do have respect for Jews. I've been to a jewish wedding. I'm reeeally wandering now, but I did spend Christmas Eve reading assorted Christmas stories, including the Christmas story, and watching a movie about all the scriptural references to Christ's birth. Okay, wandering in the extreme, bye now.

Some of my best friends are Jewish, right Nalaris?

[formerly known as hf]

I asked for world peace and happiness

I did get it, but it had got broken in transit, and my partner can't find the receipt

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
~Douglas Adams

Haha! Thank you for that... that's about the only thing I like about Douglas Adams, is that quote.

Anyway, I got a lot of gift cards, my mom forgot to get me anything so we went shopping and I got a lot of clothes.

The best present, though, was I got to have Christmas dinner with my boyfriend and his family and we played Monopoly and it was very fun. <3

My brother in law is Jewish. Hence the Jewish wedding.

I'm not postive, but I think West may have been referring to another Jewish friend, as in a Jewish carpenter.

But, I'm only guessing your boss is a Jewish carpenter Nalaris, mine is.

[Nalaris]

I don't know my boss' religious affiliation, but I'm guessing Christian of some kind. Just because America is pretty intensely Christian/Atheist.

[west]

My boss is a Jewish shoemaker. Well, my former boss.

Incidentally, has anyone else seen those bumper stickers with a picture of Mario that say "My boss is an Italian Plumber?"

I’d say you’re on different pages, but I don’t think you’re in the same book.

Closer to subject, for Christmas I got a digital camera, a Japanese yukata and some other clothing, and books, including a new bible .

[chadpants]

For Christmas my wife punched me in the back three times and called me a sissy...

...so that made it a great Christmas, since that's the only thing I asked for.

Lucky man....
