History Forum / General / British History / December 2007Merry Christmas!
How many observe Christ's birth-day! How few, his precepts! O! 'tis easier to keep Holidays than Commandments." -- Benjamin Franklin (Poor Richards Almanack, 1743) Reference: Poor Richard: The Almanacks, for the Years, 1733-1758, Intro by Van Wyck Brooks (111) "How many observe Christ's birth-day! How few, his precepts! O! 'tis easier to keep Holidays than Commandments." -- Benjamin Franklin (Poor Richards Almanack, 1743) Reference: Poor Richard: The Almanacks, for the Years, 1733-1758, Intro by Van Wyck Brooks (111) > "How many observe Christ's birth-day!

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Reference: Poor Richard: The Almanacks, for the Years, 1733-1758, > Intro by Van Wyck Brooks (111) I just wonder what the three wise men would bring baby Jesus today? Instead on Franksense, gold & mir; I think they might bring A Wii, a $50 Best buy gift card, and a Chia Pet? "I like to picture Jesus in a Tuxedo shirt. It says I want to be formal, but I'm ready to Party."-Cal Naughton jr. From Talldega Nights..... > How many observe Christ's birth-day! Merry solstice/saturnalia ! > > How many observe Christ's birth-day! > > Merry solstice/saturnalia ! Sorry I'm so late, but I've been sick....AGAIN! Happy Solstice indeed! And Merry Christmas, Hanukah and Kwanza. And a Happy, healthy and successful upcoming New Year (which for some began on November 1st, but we shan't split hairs) As my daughter said Merry/Happy Christmayulekwanzukah and a Prosperous Ukrainese New Year! > How many observe Christ's birth-day!
