Time to track Santa

Thanks to the trackers at NORADSanta, we are able to know where Santa is on his trip this year....

Enjoy, stay safe and do not light a fire and burn Santa up, use the Video Yule log.

Just how big is Santa's sleigh

If you are not on Twitter... this just in from NoradSanta... on Twitter

noradsanta Santa's sleigh is 75 cc long, 40 cc wide. 1 cc = 1 Candy Cane

Well is that the large or small Candy Canes.....
I am glad to see that NORAD Santa is upgrading its stuff, Annie used to love to check out the page with me each hour.

Nothing says Merry Christmas like..... superheros???

First a little Batman

 

Then a little X-Men thrown in for good measure:

 

And then a little more Batman to round out the festivities

 

..this time with a Christmas Carol

 

Matthew 1:20-21“But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” Brought to you by BibleGateway.com. Copyright (C) NIV. All Rights Reserved.

More Stupid Christmas Gifts

Got to love the global warming mug!

Do not know what to get that special person on your list.  How about these two items from the top 10 list of stupid gifts.

How about a Barack Obama 'Yes We Can" opener? It was number 7 on the list.  My personal favorite though was:

2. Wealth Redistribution 2008 Holiday Ornament:

This tree ornament announces that the ornament that used to be there has been removed and given to someone who needs it more. The Redistribution Holiday Ornament will let everyone know you're spreading the wealth whether you want to or not.

Gonna be a great Christmas I can tell!

You know it must be Christmas time

As if the crazy stuff that happened on Black Friday was not enough to tell you it is Christmas, FOX News is telling the story of the cost of the 12 Days of Christmas.  This story comes out every year. 

That's this year's cost, according to the annual "Christmas Price Index" compiled by PNC Wealth Management, which tallies the single partridge in a pear tree to the 12 drummers drumming, purchased repeatedly as the song suggests. The price is up $8,508 or 10.9 percent, from $78,100 last year.

Now for more serious news I guess.....

John 1:1-2, 14“[The Word Became Flesh] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” Brought to you by BibleGateway.com.

Be good for goodness sake!

From Fox News comes a story about Christmas and another group trying to get Christ out of Christmas (though they say that they are not).

The American Humanist Association is spending $40,000 to encourage people not to believe in God.  While I applaud the fact they are urging people to be good, I find it interesting that they want to solve a problem that should not be:

"We are trying to reach our audience, and sometimes in order to reach an audience, everybody has to hear you," said Fred Edwords, spokesman for the humanist group. "Our reason for doing it during the holidays is there are an awful lot of agnostics, atheists and other types of non-theists who feel a little alone during the holidays because of its association with traditional religion."

Ok, so the reason they feel left alone is that the holiday is religious.  Why should that bother them?  If there is no God then people are celebrating something that does not exist.  They have two choices.  Join the celebration of people they think are foolish for celebrating or ignore the holiday.  If they truly believe there is no God, they why should this holiday bother them?  Or is it that it does bother them and they have a nagging feeling that maybe there is a reason for the Christ in Christmas?

Colossians 1:9“For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.” Brought to you by BibleGateway.com. Copyright (C) NIV. All Rights Reserved.
