Where in scripture are we directed to celebrate anyone's birthday? Especially since no one's birth date is ever mentioned... “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
I don't believe we are directed to celebrate anyone's birthday. "I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces.". Étienne de La Boétie
also, interesting is the Statue of Liberty origin.
To question is to value the ideal of truth more highly than the loyalties to nation, religion, race, or ideology.
You are directed to celebrate my birthday. : ) I would like a Roku, some new seat covers, a bit of wine, some song, a season snowboard pass, some dark Belgian chocolates, olive oil and some duct tape.

Shoot. You done took all the fun out of it. We was gonna surprise you this year. "If ignorance is truly bliss, then why do so many Americans need Prozac?" - Dave McGowan
aac. Olive oil and duct tape.
Regardless of it's pagan origins, I still enjoy the Christmas season. I even went to Advent services at church in the evenings as a kid. It was all a big part of my childhood.
I can only imagine where she's going with that...

A few weeks ago, I read that an estimated 7B would be pissed away on Christmas presents this year. Last year Mrs.L's family finally saw the light and decided to draw names, and to limit the price of that one person's gift to $50. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.

Cooking and repair!! Not slippery, yet secure.!!: ) " If you cannot govern yourself, you will be governed by assholes. " Randge, Poet de Forum, 1/11/11 "Life's tough, and even tougher if you're stupid." --John Wayne
Happy Winter Solstice. The 23.5 degree tilt in Earth’s axis of rotation creates a rise and fall appearance of the sun over the course of a year. During the winter solstice, the Northern Hemisphere is pointed at its furthest distance from the sun, bringing less light and colder temperatures. The winter solstice occurs at a specific time, not just day. This year, at 12:11 p.m. EST on Saturday, Dec. 21, the sun shone directly over the Tropic of Capricorn, the farthest south the sun reaches. In the Southern Hemisphere, it was the longest day of the year. So then what happens? After the solstice occurs, days grow longer for north of the equator, as the sun appears farther above the horizon. This movement culminates in the longest day of the year on June 21.
