I don't know. Does it get older? You tell me.

Elvis & UB40 said it too...sorry - I thought we were re-living Inky's "watch the green dude thread..."

I figured Mac was trying to be "PC" about Christmas & cover all the bases.

Me likes:D

I'm pretty sure that's a scene from Ralph Bakshi's far superior animated version of Lord of the Rings. The Council of Rivendell meets to discuss Frodo's diaper fetish.

Aw, look. The King in the red crown has brought a nice bottle of Château Cos d'Estournel Saint-Estephe, 2003. I hope the other two have brought cheese and crackers!

Also, who's the moocher in grey kneeling by the manger?

Meanwhile, what the hay happened to your avatar, Kevin?

Should be interesting to see what Mac comes up w/, tomorrow. I mean, what's left...I too like the fact that Mac's covering all the bases. It's called fairness to everyone.

The representative shepherd, silly.

'Tis the first Christmas, and the reason for the season.

Yep. That's a shepherd all right.

It is! It's a pretty picture.

But I think King-in-red looks a little fed up at kneeling for such a length of time. I think he's gonna get to swingin' very soon.

He's genuflecting. Prayer is not anger.

I actually ran Internet Explorer (I need to wash my virtual hands now), and indeed the pic and banner ad are on the left. In Firedox they're centered at the top of the page.

AW needs a "Best Viewed with Firefox" icon!;)
Does it get older?;)

Not sure about the pic, but I've read this story, and ...BIG SPOILER ALERT!

the baby lives to age 35 or so, but then, well, without giving it ALL away, the name "Judas" became infamous for the ultimate betrayal.

This part of the story (depicted by the baby pic above) is documented in the made-for-TV Special "A Charlie Brown Christmas," but it seems the cannon is incomplete, as I don't recall a Charlie Brown Easter.

It's actually got nothing to do with being PC, even though it's no real secret I'm a bleeding-heart knee-jerk commie liberal. :)

When I was a kid, a big part of the Christmas season was hearing stories and traditions from different cultures, religions, and regions. My mother read to us (she'd given away the TV set when my little sis came home from first grade and declared she saw no reason to ever learn to read) and she'd read everything from historical pieces about St. Nick, to traditional regional winter/solstice/yule recipes and traditions, to the nativity story straight from the book of St. Luke.

It's just how I grew up celebrating Christmas. So if anyone wants to post a pic or tell a story about their own childhood holiday seasons, I'd love it.
