In fact, The angel that spoke to the shepherds stated that the birth of Christ was "good tidings of GREAT JOY". A time of rejoicing and merry making. I will rejoice on the day that our world has set aside to commemorate his birth whether it is the actual day or not, because Messiah has come!!

personally, I believe He was born during the feast of the tabernacles...but that also is debatable.

Let's not confuse what is being spoken of here. I would like to remind those of you that are posting that I'm not saying nor have I ever said that Jesus wasn't born or that His birth was not special. Mary was to be called blessed by ALL GENERATIONS, but we do not take that to the extreme. Now that I said all this I must continue to remind you all that it's not Jesus' birth that is in question, but a pagan Roman Catholic holiday that was never practiced by any first, second or third century Christians.

My you all have fun in your celebrations of Dec 25th I'm just saying that the holiday is man's tradition and not God's.

I don't think there is a debate there, at least not from me. I just don't think there is anything wrong with celebrating it.
By the way, are you getting each other anything? Would you like one of the VERY rare Reckart Fisher Price cartridges, Vol VIII?

Yes, we know you believe He was born. That is very important. Blessings to you.

Is that Fisher Price toy hard to find? What's it really called, I mean the real one not the one that has the Cohen.

It's just called the Fisher Price movie viewer.
I tells ya, they may show a baby on the box, but this was THE toy to have if you grew up in the 70's!


This was (I think) the last official version to sell. Obviously marketed at a slightly older crowd.

I think that the trees, whether evergreen, pine, fir, Scoth pine, or??, they all look absolutely gorgeous "au-naturale" {no need for artificial adornment, the little birds of bright colors, alighting on its branches, do it well! } right where GOD placed them., and they SERVE us..too, by osmosis..or some process where they promote clean fresh air for us to breathe! Ahhhh, air......................you gotta love it!

Now I remember it, the kid next door had one. I think it got left out side and it was ruined. Something like that.

Some of the coolest things I had growing up was a Rupp Roadster, a Bell helmet 500 TX and a pair of buckle up Buco scramble racing boots.

Are you looking for these items? I mean, are you looking to make a purchase?
