It’s Christmas time…

Editorial

Not a time of peace of course, because it never is, but we hope you all get the chance  over the next few days to put the worst of the world’s woes aside for just a little while,  be with those you love, sample some Christmas cheer, eat some festive food, and at very least stay warm and safe.

Thanks all of you for being here. Thanks for reading. Thanks for caring enough to support us. The world needs more people like you.

Merry Christmas from all of us.

Does christmas die, and if so I want to know why,

I took a look, in a book, but all I saw was a hook,

I gazed at the rear view, but that too, was w/o you,

I woundered outloud, in a clear cloud, but was not wowed,

So if your better days are behind you, and you no say,

Just pass the torch to the youth, this Merry Very Christmas day.

In 2025, people’s comfort-bubble will burst. And Off-G will be carrying the needle.

Merry Christmas to those without their eyes wide shut.

I found this a nice Christmas eve story– except Goose looks more like a duck to me; I’m accustomed to MUCH bigger geese.

If there’s one thing that pisses me off around Christmas Time it’s that every
store, supermarket, & shopping mall has the same limited Christmas song
playlist blaring… How can a mental torture technique encourage the Season’s
Spirit ? They are such a turn-off, yet there’s so many others tunes they could
play, for examples:

Though the list doesnt include:

I recommend: “PLAY LOUD !” … (1960s folksinger) …

As contemporary Christmas hymns go, I can’t find fault with this one:

I mean, it’s a fair point.

I hate doubt too.

Well. it’s Christmas Day already here in Sydney (Australia). A Big Let Down !!
There was nothing in my stocking . So i wondered what naughtiness i got up to
that pissed off the Woke Big Guy (aka – Santa). I tried to recall – Nothing revealed
itself to me. But then i remembered: “This place doesnt have a chimney !” (so
you’re forgiven, Santa).. Then i was free to wonder “In Gaza, do they know it’s
Christmas ?”…
Queen Liz wont be giving Her heartwarming Christmas Day fireside chat this year –
and i so much wanted to hear what she expected would make 2025 an Annus
Horribilis for us Common Folk…

“Spirituality” is a contemporary neologism that means nothing. People use it when they don’t want to take a side. Religion is real. Spirituality is whiny middle class having coffee klatches with potpourris and doilies.

The English word “religion” originated from the Latin

Oops.
‘Religion means to join or bond.’

In other words, religion ties one down or leaves no space for searching until Truth is found. Religions are a man made belief barrier to Knowing.

I’ll never forget when Paul Bowles mocked Terry Gross for asking if North Africans were “spiritual.” He said spiritual is a nonsense word that means nothing. Then he says, “Do you mean religious? No, North Africans are not particularly religious.” They scrubbed that interchange from the re-peat, because it made Terry Gross sound like an ignorant clown. It now only exists in my head.

Millions of people spend Christmas all alone. Some on the street. Some in hovels. Some in THE hospital. Some in nice apartments and houses.

Christmas celebrations are canceled in the city of Jesus Christ’s birth for the second year in a row.

On Friday in Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank, Reverend Munther Isaac of the Evangelical Lutheran Christmas Church delivered a sermon titled “Christ is still in the rubble.”
