Thanks Dr.
Another malcontent. At least the first one had the common sense to leave. This one apparently doesn't.
Anyone know if the Pageant of Peace will be shown on Cspan tomorrow at 5 EST? It is not posted on their website, but I know they usually carry it. Do I have the date right? I guess cspan is just being ccrap - as ALWAYS!!!
DrDeb might know.
Gosh! Hyde & Warner look like they're half ready for the grave! Where in the world have all the REAL men gone!
To show how times have changed, when I was a kid, we'd get stockings with nuts, an orange, a candy cane, and some small toy, earrings or cosmetic item depending on age. Simple little food items that we were ours and that we didn't have to ask adults for.
When I did that with my son, once he got to a certain age, he complained about it. I think that walnuts, oranges, etc were special to the season back then. We just didn't see a lot of them at other times of the year. Now, other than the candy cane, few treats are special; everything is available all year. I guess that's good in some ways, not so good in others.
Just hit abuse if he comes back, don't post to him.
I remember the walnuts and oranges too. I never understood what they had to do with Christmas or the Holidays, LOL.
I know, lol. They've been up there forever. The president looks twenty years younger than all of them.

Oh, yes, we always got fruit in our stockings. We weren't that crazy about it, but I guess our parents considered it a treat.
I always put fruit in my kids' stockings but they always ending up having a fruit fight with it.
It wasn't pretty.
So I bought plastic fruit and now I use that. It's good year after year.
You can't have a stocking without plastic fruit and nuts!!!
There are a lot of REALLY ignorant people on this forum, McGavin.
And when you mix them in with trolls, there are a whole lot of ugly posts about the President.
That's why it's so important to keep posting the truth about him.
I agree though in Britain there are still quite a lot of things for children in particular that are special to the Christmas season.
Like chocolate money, chocolate santas, selection boxes and of course chocolate decorations for the tree.
