1) Who the hell is Santa Claus?

| should you trust this man? |
Sadie Says: From my experience, SANTA IS A PEDOPHILE. Why else would an old
man put up with sniveling kids sitting on his lap? As usual, the
Catholic Church ignored that fact. They spun a story about this guy,
Nicholas, a Bishop who lived in the fourth century (we all know what went on in
those monasteries) and made him a saint.
2) What do the colors red and green have to do with Christmas?

Sadie Says: GREEN has been part of winter celebrations FOREVER. Ancient Romans
exchanged branches of evergreen in January as a reminder of spring and life, because in the dead of winter everyone was ready to
commit suicide or hop into an arena with a gladiator. Back then they had no internet, no TV,
not even electricity. Conversely, RED symbolizes blood and death, duh. BTW, in ancient
Rome a favorite method of suicide was to slit your wrists in the bath tub … just like my mommy did.
3) What's up with those dreidel things and Hanukkah?

| what else can you do in the dark? |
Sadie Says: Most people associate menorahs and nine candles with
Hanukkah, but in case you don’t know, a
dreidel is a four sided spinning top with Hebrew letters inscribed on each
side. Rabbis have tried to come up with explanations for the dreidel’s
association with the holiday and many say the letters (nun, gimmel, hey,
shin) stand for nes gadol haya sham, "a great miracle happened there."
But the true story is: after the Jews drove the Greeks out of Jerusalem, they
threw an orgy that lasted for eight nights and used dreidels like dice for gambling and playing spin the bottle.

Hey Z, that handbag is awesome. Would go great with my red Christmas dress.
ReplyDeleteYes, Suzanne. It's quite the fashion statement for psychos. Better hop around the blogs so you can get one too!
ReplyDeleteI really need the handbag. I think it makes a great Christmas shopping statement.
ReplyDeleteI certainly understand, Michelle. And the blood makes it soooo festive!
DeleteMy favorite part of the holidays is just the entire Christmas experience.
ReplyDeleteYes, I know what you mean ... of course, everything is relative, especially at the holidays. But, as Sadie likes to say, even the toughest relative can prove to be tender. Just remember to marinate.
