Where is everyone #5

Supper, last night here.

 

Must not have been very good. It looks like you haven't even touched it. It's been a whole day already. It's gotta be cold by now.

 

I'm glad you're here.

 

You make it so easy.

 

Christian holiday season marking waiting for the “arrival” of Christ’s birth @ Christmas. You know, a pagan holiday celebrating lights (fire) and earth/ longevity (evergreen tree) and community benevolence (gifts/ generosity) during a similar time of the winter solstice. I’m sure the church had a lot easier time floating that idea to the pagans of Celtic areas that it was “almost the same!” In terms of symbolism as the center of the Christian faiths: the life of Christ/second coming of Christ.


Chocolate advent calendars are a thing. A great thing if you’re a kid. One small piece of chocolate every day! Shrouded in mystery (hidden behind a little cardboard flap) as to which kind of chocolate it is.


To clarify: my kids were pumped about the chocolate and the anticipation of what kind of chocolate- not anything religion related lol

 

Feel picked on yet ?

 

I fixed the quote smarty aleck.

 

Webster: a coming into place, view, or being; arrival: the advent of the holiday season. (usually initial capital letter) the coming of Christ into the world..... Celebrated with a calendar to denote each day of the countdown....

I'm not, even remotely, a religious man... but that's beer (an Advent calendar Steph assembled), I know it... and I'm not turning that away. That's just wasteful.

 

I’m used to it.

 

It's sat there so many nights already that the wife said this is your last chance to eat it before she throws it out ?
Is that what you meant ?
