    I believe that as HE (calarmai) who edited the post and bolded the part of the sentence regarding gifts and commented upon it. But thanks! And, good for you in pointing out that your Mohammed pre-dates Christmas trees!

    Not my Mohammed Sprightly, and that was unnecessary. Seasons greetings.

    He said that gift giving has its roots in Christianity. I don't know where he came up with the tree stuff.

    The wise men came to the house where they were, not the stable. Matthew 2:11. It could have been several months after Jesus was born.

    We had some of Mrs. Wzds 'Brown Pickle' today along with her 'Mustard Pickle' and pickled onions to accompany our traditional Boxing Day fare of 'Bubble and Squeak' and cold turkey, ham, chipolatas and stuffing, etc... phew! stuffed again.

    Regards to Mrs. 'B'.
    You have just described my lunch, minus the chipolatas! I get to cook the Bubble and Squeak!

    The lab will eat anything except people up to and including corn cobs and raw venison entrails, the silky is more like me...... carnivorous. If a 200 lb man takes 80 mg of Lipitor a day how much should my 10 lb mutt get???

    Merry Christmas to the evangalical. And the Papists, too.

    And the secular, like me, who celebrate it. Willingly or not.

    And the rest of you, um, have a nice Chinese dinner and a movie...

    Speaking of secular, do you celebrate Festivus? For those not familiar with the culturally popular traditions of Festivus -

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festivus

    I love the "airing of the grievances " tradition. . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoirV...e_gdata_player

    We had two (boys) picky eaters, too.
