Any one know if this is real?
I can't find where it originated.

Of course, the OT doesn't apply. Except where it does.

(285 posts)Some folks are feeling mighty insecure. My atheist friends don't think about ruining holidays for religious people at all. Most find that Christmas trees are inoffensive, no reason to sweat the small stuff, and they are really quite secular these days. I like the way they smell! Only the hard core folks cart out the nativity in my neighborhood, anyway.

(57,349 posts)It's quite beautiful, you'd never notice it in town but out here it's pitch dark.
I've seen my horses gazing at it, I wonder what they're thinking.

"We're probably safe. Fictional Baby Jesus had a big ass and ox in the barn, but no horses as far as I know."
"Well, if they do, somebody's getting a big lump of something that ain't gold, frankincense or myrrh. And not in a stocking either, but right in their frigging lap."

Jack, the Belgian cross with food issues is probably wondering if it's edible.

I really don't care about Christmas stuff. I still say "Merry Christmas" to people, even my atheist roommate and my Jewish friends.

(332 posts)of about 400 pop and was made up of almost all Catholics. They were however very laid back and the local bar was the hang out for everyone. They served a good dinner there and families always came on weekends, celebrated baby showers, all kinds of things there.
Anyway, first year I lived near there they had this huge gold lite up star on their water tower, upon looking closer it had "Bud Lite" in the center! I loved it, kinda said what the town was about that they swung both ways, LOL! It was up every year that I lived there 9 yrs and I bet it is up right now.
