		<description>Trust Billy Bonkers to ruin a perfectly good Christmas thread.

Merry Christmas one and all (even though mine&#039;s delayed to tomorrow for the dinner) and a successful and prosperous 2010. Yes, even to Bonkers.</description>

		<description>Seasons greetings David. Thankyou for another year of a terrific blog where most can indulge their bias, intellect or stupidity and if they accept your tolerant attitude can have a debate unequalled in the genre. From a wonderful family xmas  in the sunny Hawkes Bay I would wish ALL those who visit here all the very best.</description>

I thought it was Christmas every day :-)

Yeshua was born at Christmas ( well prob Octoberish)
http://www.khouse.org/articles/1995/105/

So he could die at Passover for you.
Because G-d Loves you.
So be blessed as you are ALL special even porky Borker.

Count your blessings as it could be worse.

		<description>The kids let us sleep until 6am- they are getting older. Merry Christmas to all.

From &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bib-arch.org/e-features/christmas.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Biblical Archaeology Review&lt;/a&gt; comes this summary of how Christmas was dated; I found it quite interesting, as I had always thought it linked to mid-winter.</description>

		<description>In the US and Canada, they actually sell &quot;stockings&quot; that are as big as a pillowcase! Otherwise, when I were a lad :-) we used my mother&#039;s old run-laden stockings. Don&#039;t know about the US.</description>

		<description>Anyone with kids....

Do you put out pillowcases for Santa to fill?
Was talking to someone from the US and they thought that very strange. They do &#039;stockings&#039; of course.

Maybe it&#039;s a Kiwi thing. Trust us to use the bigger bag to get a bigger haul...lol</description>
