Sunday greetings everyone.
What do you buy for the woman who already has the greatest gift? Rev. James Snyder is not the only man to struggle with that question. You can read about his quest in "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" at:

Thank-you to everyone who is praying for Flower and helping her family. Flower is recovering from a fever which ended up in a trip to the doctor for a prescription. She is having a follow-up visit today. It's a risk for her parents to go out on these outings because of the possibility of being picked up by the authorities. Updates about Flower and her family are posted at this link.
There is a new Christmas video in the FunBlog today. You might think some puppets singing the Christmas story to the tune of Bohemian Rhapsody would be kind of cheesy, but I think this is really well done! You can decide for yourself by watching "Bethlehem Rhapsody" at:

It's that time of the year again for a couple of my pet peeves. One is Christians being all rude and snooty about keeping Christ in Christmas. Of course I want keep Christ in Christmas, but let's not be jerks about how we argue for it.
Another pet peeve is the returning echo of people saying the story of Jesus is simply an adaptation of other stories of other "gods" before him. I've added a video to Cybersalt that take a fun look at those claims. You'll find "Horus Ruins Christmas" at:
