Dear KMAG: 20191224 Open Topic

This DELIGHTFUL DECEMBER [1224] CHRISTMAS EVE & EVE’S EVE open thread is VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA / KAG! / KMAG world (KMAG being a bit of both MAGA and KAG!).



You can say what you want, comment on what other people said, and so on.

Free Speech is practiced here. ENJOY IT. Use it or lose it.


However, we have a new policy. Starting 20191110. Keep it SOMEWHAT civil.

We have a new board – actually a new SITE – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation. NOT HERE.

This board will remain a REFUGE for those who need civility, either some or all of the time.


Our rules began with the civility of the Old Treehouse, later to become the Wolverinian Empire, and one might say that we have RESTORED THE OLD REPUBLIC – the early high-interaction model of the Treehouse – except of course that Q discussion is not only allowed but encouraged, and speech is considerably freer in other ways. Please feel free to argue and disagree with the board owner, as nicely as possible.

Please also consider the Important Guidelines, outlined here in the January 1st open thread. Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven.


SPEAK THE FIVE WORDS BOLDLY TO OUR PRESIDENT!

I AM PRAYING FOR YOU!


AND WHAT TIME IS IT?

TIME TO….

DRAIN THE SWAMP

Our movement

Is about replacing

A failed

And CORRUPT

Political establishment

With a new government controlled

By you, the American People.

Candidate Donald J. Trump

Also remember Wheatie’s Rules:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Let’s begin this CHRISTMAS EVE’S EVE (and some of CHRISTMAS EVE) thread with a great song just posted by Gail Combs!

This morning and afternoon – TODAY – is when you need to finish all those preparations – unless you’re going out for Chinese!

But even then, you may still need a few LAST MINUTE PRESENTS, and other things.

And what about Christmas Eve services? Anybody going? I’m actually very surprised by how MANY families I know, don’t go to church ANY other time of the year, but they ALWAYS go on Christmas Eve!

It’s good to know that people are staying connected to God with other people – even if it’s just once a year. There is a hidden BASE out there – just waiting!

Then there is CAROLING on Christmas Eve! Which may be INDOORS…..

OUTDOORS…..

On a truck in Miami in the distant past….

In a park in New York City….

Or in the same church as the one for Christmas Eve services….

And then there is the REALLY BIG QUESTION…..

Did you open DOOR 24 on your ADVENT CALENDAR???

JUST KIDDING!!!

No – the real question is this. Are you “wait and open presents on Christmas”, or are you “go ahead and open presents on Christmas Eve” in your family?

I think I may be able to convince the “WAITERS” that the “CHEATERS” ain’t such bad people with this charming video!

Because we can ALWAYS keep in mind this PSA from SANTA HIMSELF….

And trust me – I have that on Good Authority from Santa’s Air Safety Commander in Chief!

So ANYWAY, let me give you just a hint of what it’s all REALLY ABOUT…..

Coming….

SOON!

W

PS….

Gotta have some SHOUT OUTS at the end, too. They are WHY WE ARE HERE.

A Merry Christmas to Q….

A Merry Christmas to Q+ and “Q++”, the latter seen here preparing GIANT Q ORNAMENTS!

And last but not least – not by a long shot – Merry Christmas to those who are away from their friends and family, serving this nation and their countrymen – wherever they may be.

We saved the best of us for last.

Where we go one, we go all.

PEACE ON EARTH | Little drummer boy | HD With Lyrics | DAVID BOWIE cover by Chris Landmark

Come they told me
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
A new born king to see
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Our finest gifts we bring
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Peace on earth, can it be
Years from now, perhaps we’ll see
See the day of glory
See the day when men of good will
Live in peace, live in peace again
Peace on earth, can it be
Every child must be made aware
Every child must be made to care
Care enough for his fellow man
To give all the love that he can
I pray my wish will come true
For my child and your child too
He’ll see the day of glory
See the day when men of good will
Live in peace, live in peace again
Peace on earth, can it be
Can it be

Alison

Beautiful, Michael. Much appreciated ✝️

Great Christmas Eve thread, boss!
😄🤩👍🎄🤶🎅🦌🌟
Ya know…I really wouldn’t mind having Chinese takeout for Christmas.
Hah. 😄🥡🥢🥠
I love Chinese food!
We always let the kids open ‘one’ present on Christmas Eve night…but they had to wait till morning to open the rest of them.
Now they are grown and doing the same thing with their own little ones.

michaelh

Wheatie I ordered Chinese take out tonight for the wife and I 🙂
Mmm it was good too. Broccoli Beef, Sesame Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Spring Rolls, Fried Rice, Lo Mein noodles…
I ate my egg rolls dipped in asian mustard… mmmm so good…
The kids of course got pizza 😉 Convenient that the Chinese take out and the Pizza shop are right next to each other – and both run specials!

wheatietoo

Haaa…cool.
That sounds yummy!
So I’m not so weird after all.
😄
I know what we’re having the day after Christmas!

Gail Combs

T-BONES!
Forget the turkey….

CM in TN

Doing ribs tomorrow for my wife and I. Keeping it simple this year. We usually do the ham and big dinner for the rest of the family, but we are going skiing in CO. for a New Years vacation and don’t want to wear ourselves out before we go.

grandmaintexas

Wheaties, that’s what we’ve always done too! Each child, grown or not, gets a new set of pajamas for morning photos, and then gets to open one gift.

cthulhu

That’s what we ended up with after I was about ten and my sister was five. I think it was to help abate the competition.

Gail Combs

In my family, Dad’s family celebrated on Christmas Eve and Mom’s on Christmas day. So we kids got TWO Christmases and a chance to celebrate with both branches.

rayzorbak

Ours is still similar……
2 places = 2 days.
Play “Dirty Santa” at both places.
Everyone brings a gift…….
Put them all in pile….
Draw numbers….
Pick a gift……or
take someone else’s 🙂
(After gift is taken twice, it is locked down and can’t be taken away)
Person #1 gets to choose to keep what he/she has or take one from another.
Game over.

rayzorbak

BTW…… the Kids still get there loads of gifts.
The “Dirty Santa” game is for the adults)

Deplorable Patriot

Christmas Eve at our house was the one night of the year Mom insisted we dress for dinner. I mean dress. China and candles on the table. Some fancy pork roast with a sauce Emeril LaGasse makes with bacon and shallots.
Then, we’d go to the Christmas Eve Mass, come home, and one present.
That’s in the years AFTER we no longer had a Christmas Eve shindig at Aunt J’s house. That was when we were little, and we’d come home. Dad would get us in bed. Mom went to sing Midnight Mass, and she would pick up our loot, uh, presents from the baby sitter’s house. See, she’d pay the baby sitter and her sister to wrap them. At about 2 in the morning it was all done, and we were up by seven.

Alison

Wheatie, thanks for all your comfy tree havens this year 🥰🎄🎄

I ran across this Santa Claus gif…and loved it because of the irreverence toward the Steve Spielberg signature icon.

Dressed in holiday style
In the air there’s
A feeling of Christmas
Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every
Street corner you’ll hear
Feliz navidad

Feliz navidad, prospero año y felicidad
A-ha!
I want to wish you a merry Christmas
I want to wish you a merry Christmas
I want to wish you a merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart!

Wonderful Christmas Eve opening post, Wolfie! O Holy Night is such a magical song and this is a lovely version.
Christmas Eve was the big deal in my home, always. It is THE time for Christmas celebrations in Scandanavian culture. Christmas Day was always a big dinner with extended family, but Christmas Eve was the gift exchange, church, lights, candles, music—the magic.
My Christmas celebration will be very scaled back this year. I almost didn’t even put up a tree, but I finally did that today. It will be simple, but we’ll honor Christ’s birth.
Merry Christmas to each one of you.

cthulhu

Thank you, Sylvia. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Our local mall (Westfield Valley Fair) was just nuts — I had to drive by it to get to somewhere else and the traffic was hideous.

kalbokalbs

Decades ago when Westfield Valley Fair, was Valley Fair, fun times. Ride bikes there as a kid, then drive as a teenager.
Great memories.
I am guessing San Jose, Stevens Creek as I recall. Was a fun place to grow up…back in 60s… have not been back since mid 90s.

May not be the same occasion, but…..

Fun little bit for Sci-Fi fans…..listen for the “Atreides”.

Progressives Officially Redefine ‘Hate Speech’ As ‘Speech We Do Not Like’

…”A lot of people are getting the wrong idea about hate speech,” a representative from Instagram said. “They believe hate speech actually has to be hateful to qualify. So I think we need to clarify terms here. For instance, we just deleted a post that a lot of progressives did not like. It wasn’t hateful or anything, but they did not like it.”
.
.
.
After the motion passed, dictionaries quickly updated their definitions to read:

Hate speech – (noun) – speech you do not like or speech that offends you in any way // That guy said he disagrees with me. What awful hate speech!

At publishing time, the coalition had clarified that this definition does not apply to conservatives.

If it weren’t for Bill Whittle, I was ready to go “all-in” when Andrew Breitbart left us. I continue to regard him as a saint and a martyr.

A LOT of work went into that vid.
It is amazing how much support President Trump is getting from some very creative and talented people.

Deplorable Patriot

EVICTION FAIL! heck, YEAH, baby. Go Bannon go.

wheatietoo

I agree with Matt Gaetz here:

patfrederick

we definitely need that second step–for the Senate committees to start investigating and doing their part to expose the Dem corruption as well…

kalbokalbs

It’s almost as if the Senate, house for that matter canNOT chew gum and walk at the same time.
House, impeachment and nothing else.
Senate Judges and nothing else.
Please don’t get me wrong, I am ecstatic about the Judges, AND would NOT trade Judges away.
Just find it ODD, these over paid, under worked fools in Senate and House can seemingly only do ONE thing at a time.
AND, AND, yes, it is way past time the Senate did something about corruption. Admittedly, Senate and House investigations are 99.99% bluster.
WILL settle for MOAR Judges, shred impeachment AND AG BARR investigations yield impeachments, trial and jail for bad guys.

patfrederick

when these congress people run again, what on earth can they point to that they are accomplishing for their salaries? what peoples’ business are they doing?

kalbokalbs

Yea. Short of Judges, and that is huge, Senate has done nothing that comes to mind. House can claim impeachment, a farce it is.
Inept fools.
ON THE POSITIVE SIDE…this morning…
– Sent President Trump may daily thank you email.
– Daily email DART between the eyes of my democrat socialist Senator’s Masto and Rosen.
– AND, donated to Trump 2020.

patfrederick

you’ve had a productive morning!!
in my Christmas card to POTUS and the First Family, I remembered to send holiday greetings to the Secret Service…LOL…and say hey–it’s me again…LOL

Gail Combs

With the House doing NOTHING for months on end, except looking for a crime to hang on President Trump, The Senate is shackled. Therefore Yrutle has put the time to good use by pushing through multiple judges a day. Mitch also said, on the impeachment, he would leave how it is handle up to President Trump and his lawyers.
We really do not need any more meaningless ‘show investigations’ instead we need INDICTMENTS and I think we will be seeing them shortly.

Gail Combs

As far as I am concerned these ‘Show Investigations’ muck up the REAL trials and may in some instances make it impossible to try a person because the jury pool (the entire USA) is so badly tainted. That is one reason the AG NEVER mentions much about DOJ investigations.
The fact Barr HAS brought up a few, like Soros would indicate the indictments are very close.

Dora

so now our homes are racist…Democrats are the spawn of hell…maybe I just need coffee…
FTA
“Single-family housing zones would become two-zoned,” Samirah told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Areas that would be impacted most would be the suburbs that have not done their part in helping out.”
“The real issues are the areas in between very dense areas which are single-family zoned. Those are the areas that the state is having significant trouble dealing with. They’re living in a bubble,” he said.
He said suburbs were “mostly white and wealthy” and that their local officials — who have historically been in charge of zoning — were ignoring the desires of poor people, who did not have time to lobby them to increase suburban density.

Gail Combs

Isn’t that lovely, move in the drug dealers, thieves and rapists into your neighborhood while taking your guns. Virginia is about to become a California type HELL HOLE.

patfrederick

agreed…

Deplorable Patriot

Splitting up big houses into multiple family dwellings is a massive fail any time it happens. Trust me. And it isn’t just the pathologies the ghetto dwellers bring with them. Zoning is only the half of it. All utilities are designed for single family dwellings, and may not have room for twice the capacity.
It looks to be an asset grab. We’ve had issues with that here. Long story that involves the latest effort to put the city back into the county. Turns out they wanted county municipal assets. NO WAY JOSE. The city comes back into the county, they are just one more big municipality. No confiscating equipment and parks.

patfrederick

when the little town over upgraded their water/sewer facility they had to determine possible population growth in their planning to figure out the if the size plant they were planning could fulfill possible future requirements. you simply cannot double an area’s sewer usage and not expect to overload the wastewater treatment facilities…that’s one of the local zoning board’s function: to determine if the proposed structure can comply with existing utilities.

pgroup

“Planning? You must be daft. How would we create exploitable crises if we plan?”
— any petty tyrant with a title

patfrederick

there are some who plan with an uncanny eye for the future tho…
the county seat here was in the stages of revamping their wastewater treatment plant years ago and someone on the planning board had an eye to the future–they thought fracking might boom in this area, and recommended building a facility that could not only handle the borough’s wastewater but also treat the brine water that fracking would produce.
now their system is the only around in a large area capable of doing so and it has brought tons of revenue to the borough.

Christmas music is a special cultural achievement of Christian civilization. The lyrics of so many Christmas songs are beautiful poetry, and the melodies memorable and moving.
My personal belief (not required to be believed by anybody except me) is that Christmas music is inspired of God every bit as much as the Gospels.
One which means so much to me is The Holly and the Ivy (video and lyrics below).
The imagery of the refrain describes a Christmas morning from hundreds of years ago. You can picture a family approaching their church, feeling the exhilaration of history’s greatest fact, the life of God among us.
And the song describes that life perfectly, the Incarnation repeatedly presaging the Suffering and glorious Resurrection. Just as Mary labored to give Jesus life, Jesus labored to give us Life.
I have seen the question asked why the Holly gets the “crown” and not the Ivy. I must admit, the very obvious answer eluded me longer than it should have.
The ever-green Ivy represents Eternal Life with our Savior, basking in the Love of God.
But that Eternal Life was given to us by the events perfectly and beautifully reflected in the Holly. Almost as if God meant it that way.

The holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown
O, the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
The holly bears a blossom
As white as lily flow’r
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be our dear Saviour
O, the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
The holly bears a berry
As red as any blood
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To do poor sinners good
O, the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
The holly bears a prickle
As sharp as any thorn
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
On Christmas Day in the morn
O, the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
The holly bears a bark
As bitter as the gall
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
For to redeem us all
O, the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
The holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown
O, the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir

Deplorable Patriot

This one of my favorites that I never get to sing because the current music directors don’t like it. I don’t get why.

CM in TN

My wife and I are in our Church choir. Christmas is my favorite time for singing. Agree, the songs are all beautiful.

To me there is something very sad about this. 🙁

patfrederick

wow! BOMBSHELL email…LOL…the SMOKING GUN…finally!!! LOL
FTA
This email is so “explosive” that it completely contradicts the Democrat narrative.
Notice what it actually says. In the second sentence, Duffey says the hold is temporary and will not interfere with the execution of the final policy direction. What that means is that this hold was never meant to go past the legal date by which the aid was supposed to be released. This was not an email laying out a nefarious plan to go around Congress and break the law. It was a ho-hum advisement of a completely legal, brief pause.
There is nothing new here. We already knew that the administration wanted to hold the aid temporarily until they got reassurances about Zelensky as the new leader of Ukraine. There’s nothing improper about that, nor was it improper for the President to have concerns about corruption within the country, including involving Hunter Biden. The Democrats still lack evidence of any intent to do anything impeachable here, much less an actual impeachable act itself.

ICE picks up a paroled “refugee” convicted of murder in CA…article mentions a “private government contractor” = bounty hunter?
FTA
A 2017 California law bars local and state agencies from cooperating with immigration authorities involving cases against those who have committed certain crimes, mostly misdemeanors. The rights groups say it also applies to the state prison system.
Ton was picked up Monday by a private government contractor in what immigrant groups contend is a violation of federal law, his attorney said. Newsom this year vetoed a bill that would have blocked private companies from picking up paroled immigrants in California.

Soros Roasting (with help from TheseTruths)
So, after hours and hours of back breaking work this afternoon, here’s my aria . . . uh, modified a bit ‘cause TheseTruths is singing harmony.
Soros roasting on an open fire
All his bank accounts froze
Hunter and Joe behind barbed wire
And the fat cat Dimms are deposed
Everybody knows, indictments and some prison time
Will help to make the season bright
Corrupt Dimms and turncoat RINO’s
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Durham’s on his way
With lots of cuffs and perp walks any day
And those Dimms and helpers and allies
Are goin’ down with the agents and spies
And so I’m offering this simple phrase
To all you members of the coup
Although it’s been said many times, many ways
PTrump’s gonna get you!

Great post, Wolfie.
Christmas Day get togethers, Christmas Eve, it matters not.
What I do miss are the several days long get togethers…. chance to eat leftovers together.

patfrederick

that’s one of the reasons we always have our Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve–so mama gets to enjoy Christmas Day too—we make cinnamon buns for breakfast with coffee while opening gifts, then holiday movies and leftovers to relax with in the afternoon…

daughnworks247

That makes sense.
One year, I was maybe 5-6yrs old, still believed in Santa. Grandparents came to our house for Christmas in Chicago. We were so happy to see each other, we opened presents that day, Christmas Eve.
As Grandma’s story goes, I said, “Wow, my presents are all so terrific, I can’t imagine what Santa would bring me?”
Grandma and Grandpa looked at each other, blank stare.
They couldn’t NOT have any toys in the morning.
Thus beget one of Grandma’s favorite stories, “The Midnight Run to K-Mart on Christmas Eve”
It was a blue-light special Christmas for the two of them.
They sent very little money, but Grandpa found an 8’long wooden shuffleboard combo set. Played over 200 games. He bought it for $7 and it was one of my favorite toys as a kid. It was the year of the Easy Bake Oven, on sale, turquoise blue, my JANE doll, as tall as I was, a dart board with REAL pointy darts – tuff I layed with for years………
When they came home from KMart, they were laughing and giggling, the car was filled with BIG boxes of stuff. Mom and Dad frowned at the extravagance, according to Grandma, but it was one of their favorite moments as a couple.
Grandkids are great.

patfrederick

we have to do our family holiday get together earlier in December due to schedules and traveling 200 miles in the whatever weather December cooks up–so from the very beginning, our Granddaughter knew that the gifts we gave her then were from us–and the gifts she received on Christmas morning were from Santa…
thus began the Labor Day tradition of making Grandma & Grandpa’s Christmas List. She and I conspire for hours figuring out what to put on her list–going thru every catalog I can find and then online. We get to pick whatever we want from the list and then we pass the list on to mom & dad who distribute any leftover ideas to other family members…we have fun…and we never wonder to get her…LOL…poor mom and dad have to figure something else out…

Deplorable Patriot

We get a lot of C&E (Christmas and Easter) people for Mass this time of year hence a lot of the uptick in music making. Various choirs I’ve been in over the years have gotten notes from some of them as to how inspiring it is, and how it helped the journey back to the Church.
That being said…one of the reasons I love this time of year with all the music, is that we connect with the past in ways we don’t normally. The oldest piece we still use is “Of the Father’s Love Begotten,” a 5th century chant. Frankly, this recording, musically speaking, is stilted and note, note, note, but this is the way it was written.

The others came to us as the centuries went on: Veni, Veni, Emmanuel is 9th century, Adeste Fideles 15th, and then there was an avalanche during the Baroque period. Still, we connect with the past.

To answer one of the questions in your post, I just got back from midnight service.
Not many have attended in recent years. (Twenty-five years ago, it was standing room only, and our church can hold a few hundred people. Midnight service was where one went after the pubs closed. No longer, even though we still have the same pubs.)
Tonight, I would say we had about 45 to 50 max. This one was 50% regulars and 50% who 'haven't been in a while'. Several asked for a blessing rather than Communion.

Not to appear too cynical but I think they this private group needs to send their members to a few human psychology courses. They could benefit from an informed perspective. It might save their donors some money as well.

I will give the inhabitants of their ‘model city’ less than six months — A LOT LESS— to tear out the TVs, copper wire, plumbing, doors…. and anything else salable and sell it for drug money.
I had a friend who was a ‘slum landlord’ He would buy these gutted places, fix them and sell them. The horror stories he would tell, like the cat lady who died leaving a house with inches deep cat feces and dead cats behind the appliances…

A quick Thank You for prayers re: health & traveling. We are all Amazed at how well I did over the trip and even now. Postponed the dr. appointment I had made for yesterday prior to leaving “knowing” that I would be in great need as soon as I got home. Not feeling perfect but doing well enough to not want to go through the down day or two post treatment since the down days from yesterday would be today and possibly tomorrow. Doing well enough I will postpone for a few days.
Considering the incidents I experienced on trip to DC much less just the over all high level of activity + how I felt through the night Thursday and then Fri morning we are so grateful and so thrilled! I was able to bounce back and keep going, have a wonderful time & Much More Importantly, take my son into DC on Fri and not go on bedrest!
Our Fri afternoon was Exceptional, just blessed and God’s timing. Son chose to go to National Archives and we spent Hours there. So much I could share but Most wonderful were some men who worked there who spoke into his life on history, civics, etc., but also about life, entrepreneurship, work, thinking about longterm goals, etc. – things we have talked to him about and prepped him for those Fri conversations but hearing from different points of view, other people and reinforcing the seeds that have already been planted by us. Just an amazing afternoon! And we almost missed it but thanks to prayer we were able to get up and go. Thank you!
Home safe and sound. Wonderful trip. Would never choose to travel so close to Christmas. Got much of Christmas activities accomplished before we left but not all + missed church activities, parties, etc. esp. son and his groups. But Important and Impressive family event (graduation w/PhD – so proud of the hard work, dedication and accomplishment of this family member!) that we just wouldn’t miss for the world. By the time we traveled 2 days each for that + days spent there for the event, well might as well add a few more days on to the trip & give son time in DC & a vacation of sorts since we really don’t take proper vacations or travel outside of camping or visiting family. And it was all just wonderful!
But esp. with my health issues in mind it all went exceptionally well. Thank you all for being there when I & my son needed you.
Need to get breakfast and help for special things for tomorrow (directing others – I am the manager! ha) so can’t really share the actual DC part of our trip right now but do know that we wore our Trump hats often and our OT t-shirt from 2016 (lion emblem, etc.) in the White House….SO much good feedback! 🙂

I do NOT agree with everything or even most things Z-man says in this article or at other times, but he is a very good writer and has many great, provocative insights. He speaks approvingly of DiGenova (something I DO agree with) and otherwise presents a good analysis of what may be happening – – more of a summary of the competing POVs.
Z-man seems influenced by the Eeyorism of Sundance, particularly about the Rosen case, which remains a seemingly disturbing fact of Deep State Privilege.
But his explanation of possibly why “nothing has happened” explains a lot which is very encouraging and hopeful. Short preview – – the Obama corruption is so deep, so entrenched, so longstanding, that the investigation is taking far longer than the “mere” investigation into the Brennan-organized coup:

We did this one this year and 2 years ago. Always a good one to perform!

MAGA Mom

Just took a minute to look at the actual intro to the thread. We have done a Christmas Eve present since son was
t-tiny & it is always something he can do quietly but happily by himself while the adults visit, read Christmas cards, listen to carols, drink eggnog, eat special desserts and look at pictures of Christmases passed, refinancing, etc. A lovely but to a child boring evening.
We have gave him a fisher price style nativity set when he was a toddler and then lego sets (small to med size – big enough to keep him busy and happy but not so big as to overshadow the big set he received for actual Christmas). Funny thing was that about 5 yrs old his Christmas Eve set starting being lego knock offs that were army themed – he really liked them, they were historically accurate (always the homeschool mom even on Christmas Eve). The tradition became funny as here is Christmas Eve, we are reading the Christmas story, carols, Christmas Eve services, etc. and son is building and playing with WWII jeeps, tanks, soldiers and guns! And sometimes they mixed into the nativity play set when Herod’s soldiers were coming – ha!
Now he is receiving wooden brainteaser puzzle sets as he is purposefully maturing out of legos – but I just know he secretly would love to get a set on Christmas Eve.
(Like this:

He is at that age that he feels like he can’t follow his heart because some of his fun is too young by most people’s standards and is now waiting to be old enough that he can again do childhood things and have it just seem like a hobby. He and my husband will be present but also partially occupied through the visiting of Christmas Eve.
Wonderful to see them mature and grow through stages but almost hate to see him let some things go because he thinks he is “supposed” to at a certain age. Growing up so fast!

Pictures Of Santa Coming Down The Chimney In Blackface Surface
December 24, 2019
from The Babylon Bee
https://www.sgtreport.com/2019/12/pictures-of-santa-coming-down-the-chimney-in-blackface-surface/
NORTH POLE—Santa Claus has become embroiled in controversy yet again, this time as new pictures have emerged of the magical fat man sliding down a chimney in blackface.
The pictures, sent to news outlets by the Easter Bunny, clearly show Santa Claus popping out of multiple chimneys with his face covered in offensive dark makeup.
“Santa is canceled!” one blue checkmark wrote on Twitter. “Christmas was already an oppressive holiday celebrating the birth of a child when our climate is in peril and there should be no more humans coming into the world. This is just the last straw.”
“This is extremely offensive,” said Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. “Rather than dress up in an authentic African-American disguise that respects their culture, Mr. Claus has culturally appropriated dark skin and incorporated it into his European-inspired red outfit. He didn’t even get the skin tone right!” Trudeau then offered to help Santa Claus apply makeup correctly the next time he decides to dress in blackface.

And remember, in this time of Raclette and other warm, cheesy foods, Fondue unto others as you would have them Fondue unto you 🙂
(dodges flying chunks of bread, hot melty cheese, and empty bottles of Kirschwasser 🙂 )…
And if you’re serving Tex-Mex, may you be the Taco the town…

gil00

Fondue….oy. We arent having anything that fancy but I hope youve had a nice non halal Christmas!

Cuppa Covfefe

Thanks. Hope you and yours are having a Happy Christmas!
We had tacos tonight (reminder of home), fajitas tomorrow (aka leftover) and then on 2te. Weihnachten (Boxing Day) we’ll have Fondue (basically Cuppa’s adventures in cheese 🙂 )… The taco meat is decidedly non-halal, a mix of pork and beef. Just made me think of Chile Verde with Pork…hmmm… have to try that… (just need a recipe)…
It’s actually kind of common here in the cold part of the year, with even ALDI carrying Fondue mix (sort of like Trader Joe’s) – they even had a packet of “authentic” Fondue like they have in Switzerland… we did the bargain route, and then added chunks of whatever else that was lying about that would melt 🙂
Sometimes it gets really interesting, especially with cheeses that have a bit of a rubbery consistency, like Mozzarella or Provolone… you go to take the bread out of the pot (stuck to the fork, of couse), and the cheese keeps going, and going (and stretching) and won’t let go… There’s a comic book called Asterix where they visit Switzerland and have to eat Fondue, and mayhem ensues (as it usually does for Asterix and Obelix).

The Best Ways to Enjoy Dark Chocolate When You Have Diabetes

The flavonols in dark chocolate may help lower blood sugar and reduce the risk for heart disease — two pluses for people managing type 2 diabetes.
….One of the most widely believed myths about living with type 2 diabetes is that all sweets are off-limits, and upon receiving a diabetes diagnosis, you may feel forced to say goodbye to all the after-dinner treats and 3 p.m. pick-me-ups you once loved. Fortunately, it’s actually true that some sweets are safe for people with type 2 diabetes — and in the case of dark chocolate, a moderate amount may even lead to some significant health benefits, including lower blood sugar.
Among the possible perks of noshing on a square of the dark stuff are improved brain function, blood pressure, cholesterol, and heart health, according to the American Diabetes Association…

A sq of 85% Cocoa chocolate doesn’t seem to spike my insulin like a lot of other ‘sweets’ do. Also Cinnamon seems to help keep the insulin spike in check BUT too much is bad for the liver.

I am SOOOOO grateful for this! They did not ignore this after all. Those dogs had been neglected and abused even after the first interventions. No dog deserves this, especially from a “partner” country.
This is a great gift. Now they should take back the dogs still there.
“WASHINGTON  — 
 
Military dogs like Conan, who took part in a recent U.S. special operations raid that led to the death of Islamic State founder Abu Bakr Baghdadi in Syria, get headlines and a White House visit.
But other U.S. working dogs are deployed overseas as well to sniff for drugs, ferret out explosives, guard civilians and do other important tasks. Many are under the control of local handlers.
A new report by the State Department’s inspector general says some of those dogs are dying from neglect, heat stroke, poisoning and disease. The report did not say how many dogs had died, but it appeared to be about a dozen.
State Department officials, who oversee the dog program through the Diplomatic Security and Counterterrorism bureaus, said Monday they were alarmed by the report and were taking measures to ensure better conditions and the safety of the animals.
After initial resistance and the additional deaths, the U.S. has suspended new deployments of non-military working dogs overseas and will send veterinarians to sites where the animals are posted, the officials said.
“We will take every measure possible to prevent this from happening in the future,” a senior State Department official told reporters. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because, apparently, the death of dogs is a sensitive topic.”

Barr says he was there to make introductions. He also says he is not involved in Durham’s work and not involved in the Ukraine nonsense he was only in Europe to make sure leaders understood just WHO Durham was and that he was authorized.

The takeaway is EX-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, BLOCKED VISAS per Rudy BUT Barr can 😁TRUMP😁 her blocks… So we have a lot of theater and misdirection via Rudy while Barr and Durham are quietly doing the real work.
And now we have George Soros and his CORRUPT foundations showing up in the news.

After Receiving Green Light From Francis: The German Bishops Start the Aberrosexual Revolution, “Homosexuality is Normal”
(Rome) Pope Francis announced the next revolutionary “resolution” for 2020: to “normalize” the relationship of the Catholic Church to homosexuality. On this point, too, he appears to be a compliant, driven man of the Church in Germany.
Pope Francis gave to understand that the “normalization” of homosexuality is in his program for 2020 on December 16th, the day of his 83rd birthday. The President of the German Bishops’ Conference, Cardinal Reinhard Marx, Archbishop of Munich-Freising, immediately followed and announced the revolution as an early “Christmas present” in 2019:

Cuppa Covfefe

Just a quick note (it’s late here), the “rank and file” are rather less than thrilled with this latest development; and the more conservative Catholics are being silenced, probably by Merde-Kuh’s “agents”. Kardinal Marx (no accident, it seems, that it sounds like Karl Marx) is a FLAMING leftist (looks like Burl Ives), and München-Freising is a liberal envlave (student area for one), with 20% non-Germans, and 44% non-Christians (let alone Catholics), many of which are Atheist or note no religious affiliation (perhaps to avoid church tax).
We Evangelicals don’t have it much better: the “leader” of the EKD, Heinrich Bedford-Strohm, is at least as bad, or worse. He considers “St. Greta the Greenhearted” to be a prophet(ess). More like PROFIT. I call him Bedford-Stromausfall (stromausfall means power failure in German)… I don’t know where they keep picking up these idiots. BOTH Marx and Bedford-Strohm are from Bayern, which is typically the MOST CONSERVATIVE state in Germany. But, they are politicians first, and clergymen second, if at all. Kind of a perverted inversion from when the Church installed the kings…

Christmas Eve Prayer
Loving God, Help us remember the birth of Jesus,
that we may share in the song of the angels,
the gladness of the shepherds,
and worship of the wise men.
Close the door of hate
and open the door of love all over the world.
Let kindness come with every gift and good desires with every greeting.
Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings,
and teach us to be merry with clear hearts.
May the Christmas morning make us happy to be thy children,
and Christmas evening bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts,
forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus’ sake.

My son is in a social experiment, for school. He has to wear a “Bernie Sanders For President” T-shirt for two weeks to see how people react.
He’s been punched, kicked, spat at, verbally abused, and had a bottle thrown at him.
I wonder what will happen when he leaves the house.

Have you all seen Boris Johnson’s Christmas Message? It’s available on YouTube and I would love to post it, but can’t seem to do it. It is quite surprising to me, his reference to the birth of Jesus Christ and his stating his concern about suffering Christians.
I couldn’t believe his quoting the Iliad in Ancient Greek. Now, this message.

And he is such a gracious host to those ungrateful press curs!
He gives them nice quarters and feeds them well, there at Mar A Lago.
They don’t deserve his generosity!

First Pig-Monkey Chimeras Were Just Created in China

…A team of researchers generated the pig-primate creatures by injecting monkey stem cells into fertilized pig embryos and then implanting them into surrogate sows, according to a piece by New Scientist. Two of the resulting piglets developed into interspecies animals known as chimeras, meaning that they contained DNA from two distinct individuals — in this case, a pig and a monkey.
“This is the first report of full-term pig-monkey chimeras,” co-author Tang Hai, a researcher at the State Key Laboratory of Stem Cell and Reproductive Biology in Beijing, told New Scientist. Eventually, Hai and his colleagues aim to grow human organs in animals for use in transplant procedures…

😬😖 This just seems so…wrong.

you know that research is going to be used for EVIL.

It has no possibility of being anything but wrong.

Post humanism. Its a movement.

Part of this exhibition that opened recently in Beijing:
https://ars.electronica.art/export/en/human-unlimited/
A collaboration between Russia, China, Korea, and the West. Check out the subject matter of some of the exhibits: radar mapping of the Black Sea, distributed review of videos for possible war crimes, etc.
These US exhibitors should be operating under an active FISA, IMO.

The linked article says that they previously created pig human chimeras that had to be killed at 2 months for fear that the pig could develop human consciousness. Disgusting.
Isn’t one of the most basic principles of being green to not create waste in the first place? Some research should never happen…

I know it’s Christmas but OANN is having a series of reports back-to-back. Topics are the Cabal & NSA, the LV massacre, and Trevor Loudon on antifa. I bet they will re-run them tomorrow.
We used to be able to take a breather from regular life for Christmas but that may no longer be possible.
God bless America because we sure ain’t gonna make it on our own.
Merry Christmas – remember that it’s what you give that matters.

Members of the military are being advised not to use consumer DNA kits, which have private companies collecting the information.
According to a Pentagon memo, take-home DNA kits could pose security risks to U.S. service members.
Companies such as 23andMe and Ancestry sell testing kits that require consumers to send in a cheek swab or saliva sample to get a DNA profile.
The memo said military personnel are being targeted by some DNA kit companies offering discounts.

This is a British Royal.

He’s rotting from the INSIDE out.

That is very sad. Everything eventually comes full circle, and there is no escape.

I think he’s about to falloff his perch anyway.

I wonder what his wife…the queen…thinks about him making a statement like that.

ozzytrumpster

She was of a generation that divorce was unthinkable for. See hr uncle Edward the eighth. There was a period of estrangement for some time where he was rumoured to have had affairs but they did their duty in public with iron determination and discipline.
Phillip was a very harsh strict father .
I’m undecided on the queen.
Regarding the significance of her not wearing the crown at parliament . It is Very heavy and she has significant osteoporosis-note the dowagers hump. It would be very painful for her.

He wants the herd of commoners thinned now there are so many labour saving devices
