Merry Christmas

The PoliGazette crew wishes you and yours a merry Christmas!

Of course, the van der Galiën family also wishes you a merry Christmas and a blessed and happy new year (click on link to watch short, funny video: to the far right my father, next to him my girlfriend, next to her my mother, and then me)!

UPDATE

And there’s more!

Jules Crittenden has some Holiday observations, while Michelle Malkin explains what Christmas is all about, as does HCDL at Wake Up America. Meanwhile, Tully also weighs in: are that actually Clinton, Obama, Rice and Bush dancing together? Why, yes! It’s Christmas: everything’s possible! Finally, there’s also this great, personal post by Marc Moore right here at PoliGazette. That’s what life really is all about, isn’t it?

Let me just say that I too encourage everyone to read at least one of the Gospels today – Christian or not, if you’ve got a Bible in your home (and I consider this required reading material for every single person on this earth), pick it up, and start reading.

Tip for Lynx: don’t start with Genesis. The first couple of books are, and I’m sure that some Christians will say I shouldn’t say this but, hey, it’s the truth: boring. Start reading in the New Testament first. Once you’ve read a bit in that – start off by reading two of the four Gospels, the first letter by John, and some letters by Paul, then you can read some books in the Old Testament. What’s more: don’t hurry. Take your time.

    Very cute! We did something similar from JibJab- a snowball fight with our family’s heads pasted onto elf bodies.

    Gee, I liked my version, but maybe that’s just the effect of too much politics and the need to make fun of it. ;-)

    lol, good one Tully. Christine: it’s awesome alright, isn’t it? Pity you can’t embed the vids in a blog, just linking, etc., but cool nonetheless.

    Merry Christmas y’all.

Link spam, trackback spam, and propaganda spam will be instantly deleted.

(5) Public figures are considered open to all substantive criticism of their policies and statements.
