Two Christmases this year: December 9th and December 25th. Two new births. Well, a rebirth and a new birth. Each under a blanket of snow. Stille nacht, heilige nacht, alles schlaft, einsem wacht....
Two Christmases? One with the gift of a heart restart? Or is there something else happening the 9th that I don't know about? Google is no help here.
The most unusual I could find was this:
1872 – In Louisiana, P. B. S. Pinchback becomes the first serving African-American governor of a U.S. state.
Nicholas Lemann, in "Redemption: The Last Battle of the Civil War", described Pinchback as "an outsized figure: newspaper publisher, gambler, orator, speculator, dandy, mountebank – served for a few months as the state's Governor...
You got it, MamaM. December 9th will be the Christmas "with the gift of a heart restart." Or a heart rebirth. Don't worry, I'm not gonna go all schmaltzy, but what could be more appropriate to the spirit of Christmas?
I read somewhere that nuts are great, That nut eaters go on forever. So I started eating nuts With dried fruit thrown in To break the monotony. But they went through me like a roto-rooter. So I guess I'm gonna meet the lord sooner Than forever.
Well, there you go, it's all about sound and fury for me. I find the word schmaltz to be much more appealing sounding than schvartz, so it must boil down to the three letters in the middle and intent.
I'm gearing up for some schmaltz, looking for anything beside baseball, which mirrors those back and forth and around the diamond motions recently presented in illustration of male brain activity as it differs from female.

I hate Sarah Jessica Parker, Robin Williams, Tim Robbins, Susan Saradon, the BJ Hunnicut guy, brussel sprouts, the Boston Red Sox, commies and well, lawyers.

I never noticed before the similarity b/w Santa and Obama, but they both take credit for giving people stuff that somebody else actually paid for.
OTOH, Santa actually meets his deadline, every single time.
And he stays the fuck away for most of the year.
So, really, hardly any similarity at all.
What do Santa Claus, La Befana, and Bronco Bama have in common?
An El Pollo blog post for every occasion.
@Chip - And with rare exception, people want what Santa brings.
Don't disrespect Santa. He gives away his own toys. Toys that he and his elves work hard all year to build.
Obama just steals from one group to give to another.
Santa didn't build that!

Santa Claus wears a red suit. He's a Communist.

He always kept Christmas in his heart...

A virgin birth?
We don't believe in you-know-who
But we don't let the kids know it
We're parents
We're grownups
There's a line, we have to toe it
By the way, Trooper, Brett Favre will be in a championship football game this week.
Ah Nuts
I read somewhere that nuts are great,
That nut eaters go on forever.
So I started eating nuts
With dried fruit thrown in
To break the monotony.
But they went through me like a roto-rooter.
So I guess I'm gonna meet the lord sooner
Than forever.

Sounds Bukowski-ish.

With TY poetic contributions, I know to look for the something more that has been added to what already exists.
With ricpic's, origin itself is a mystery.

Stay away from the chicken fat.
