And serious question: why specifically go on Christmas? If one believes in some sort of deity, wouldn't said deity be perfectly fine with a little chat at any moment of the year instead of that one day where half the world suddenly wants to talk to him? Because I love the carols, the atmosphere and the general feeling of goodwill. I don't go to church most of the year (maybe on Easter too). Tradition counts for a lot in my enjoyment of things associated with Christmas. It's not just about going to talk to God, at least not for me. Though I do go up to the crib, say a prayer and remember my loved ones no longer here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even heywoodu must realize Christmas is kinda more important than a casual Sunday during the year I genuinely don't understand why someone who doesn't normally go to church would suddenly go on one of those days. But sure, 'what would family say' So very happy I don't care much what my family would say If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Olympian1010 7,541 Posted December 25, 2019 #625 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Got some nice custom made things for Tokyo this summer: Got a nice 4K monitor just in time for the YOG too . I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, and realizes that gifts are fun, but not the most important of the holidays. I normally wouldn’t make a post about mine, but it seemed to fit the theme of the forum. Merry Christmas hckošice and dcro 2 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Agger 1,598 Posted December 25, 2019 #626 Share Posted December 25, 2019 And the Danish Christmas dinner. Duck with 2 kinds of potatoes, creamy brown sauce, pickled red cabbage and stuffing And for dessert: Risalamande (rice pudding with cream, almonds and vanilla, served with cherry sauce) In the dessert there's a single whole almond. The one who gets it wins a present (in some families it's a part of the "game" to hide that you've got it). For the first time in a bunch od years, I got it and ended up hiding it in my glass of port (one of the classics) hckošice and Wumo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
