How about this one???????? How about Santa never being a factor in Christmas? How about people, including myself, as Children, being taught the real reason for Christmas, instead of some fictional character that all too soon, we realize never existed?

How about Children being taught that Christmas is a time of giving. Of course, we as Parents can never give as much as God did, but we can show them what Truth is and not just some fantasy. We can instill in them a symbol of Love and giving, the same way God did with Christ.

To me, this seems like a much better approach to life rather than teaching them an untruth, which in my opinion, could impact their view of God in general.

The war on Christmas is as real as Jesus and Santa can be. Santa is hell-bent on making sure that every good little boy and girl gets their Christmas wish fulfilled even if that boy and girl are Muslim, Taoists or even Hebrews. Santa is the King of the Secular Christmas and long may he reign to lead his legions of elves to battle the plastic, plaster and wooden nativity scenes on public lands from sea to shining sea. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus and he's coming packing heat.

I'm just pasting this from another source. Santa comes in any color you want. It's usually involves green since Christmas is all about money.

"Snow can come at any temperature. But both north and south poles are regions of high pressures and there are few precipitations. The reason for that is very simple: those are the coldest parts of the world and cold air is dense and sinks, thus increasing the pressure.

The opposite happens over the warmest part of the world; the equator. That is a place of low pressure since warm air rises and decreases the pressure. That is why we have a rain forest belt around the earth at the equator.

The north pole, being on ice that move with the currents, cannot have any weather reporting station as the south pole has. It is therefore difficult to say if precipitations come as anything else than snow.

The closest weather station to the north pole is New Alesund, on the Norwegian Spitsberg islands and, during the summer, yes, they experience sometimes rain. This happens when a low pressure over Iceland and a high pressure over Siberia, pump mild and humid air toward the north east, following the Gulf Stream that brings warm waters all the way to latitude 72 north.

When that happens, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the precipitation over the north pole comes as rain or melting snow. "

Information overload! I know! :lol:

Well, actually, His Mom (Mum in English!) wasn't white. She was Jewish, and so was He. Not white, but not black either.

So he looked like Obama ?

Hi travelwp No, I don't think so! As far as I can gather from the opinions of most Americans of both parties on this forum, (and he is your President, so I don't have an informed opinion, I just pick up on what I read here) most of you seem to indicate that Obama's origins are Kenyan. If so, the majority of Kenyans are black, and if you check my reply above, I said Jesus was not white, but not black either.

he isn't?????????

travelwp Loc: New Jersey

OK, not white, not black. If the comments about Obama's mum say she was white, then Obama would look like Jesus.

You should have mentioned Sammy Davis Jr. In this photo he looks like Obummer looking at the latest polls.

I don't know what your point is. Obama has nothing to do with the color of Jesus skin tone. Jesus mother was Jewish, like Jesus, her skin tone was neither white nor black. More like a deep tan that most white Americans wish to have.

As for Obama, his skin tone was much lighter than his darker skin father because of his white skin mother.

What color is Jesus skin now? Like his father. And it does not matter.

The war on Christmas is over for now. We are busy breeding our bunnies to prepare for the war on Easter next. Muahahaha!!!

I don't know Bangee5. I thought he died a long time ago, what skin?

That is my point...
