What's great about the Christmas Song is, there is no mention at all of Jesus birth. There's the pagan yule log, and other pagan rituals, no Jesus. Wonderful.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Well, it is called the "Christmas" song... I'm glad it is a blessing to you Bob. |

Symbolically only. Very few people associate Christ with Christmas anymore, except in passing, In a hundred years, nobody will because the name will have been changed. Enough with celebrating myths, Jesus wasn't even born in Bethlehem. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

When I turned 21 my girlfriend at the time game me 21 lottery tickets. That already was about the worst gift you could give me. However, I held my tongue and said "thank you." Then she added that she bought seven tickets at three different locations, to improve my chances. This was almost too much to bear. I didn't want to seem ungrateful for the effort and it took everything I had to not give her a lecture on probability, so I just nodded. Suffice it to say that the eight-month courtship didn't last much longer. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

She's heard about people winning all the time, it's easy.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
