Seasoned Greetings
Merry Christmas, Happy Yuletide To You ALL
From everyone at Thewhitesettlers Croft
I underlined the word “all” because some people may, like me, not be into all the Jesus and God stuff, in fact sometimes, and this is only a personal opinion, it spoils Xmas a bit. I like all the Santa and Sleigh-bells stuff, and the giving and receiving of presents, and all the eating and drinking stuff that goes on. I like all those bits of Xmas. There may also be people out there who are not Christians, and believe in a different God, who isn’t into all the Santa stuff, and just wants you to worship Him all the time, if that’s what floats yer boat, then fine carry on, but don’t poke yer nose into my Xmas to try and spoil it. You are quite welcome to celebrate Xmas along with everyone else ( when in Rome, and all that, ye know what I mean!) that’s fine, but don’t go about saying that all the Xmas celebrations offends you. Then get some eejit councilors to try and change Xmas, by calling it Winter Festival, and banning the Nativity. These things are part of this country, it’s a time when people actually speak to each other nicely, until Boxing Day when, well arguments start, and well it’s not called Boxing day for nothing.
Maybe you can make up a festival, or celebration of your own at this time of year. That would be grand, because nobody will complain, and if they do, you can point out that Christians hijacked the Pagan festival, and stole it, then called it Christmas.
Have A Cheery Xmas
All good things must end sometime

Extract from king George VI Christmas Speech 1939
I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year
‘Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.’
And he replied,
‘Go into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God
That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way!’
I like a good fairy tale…
Really???
Extract from Islander the first Christmas Speech 2009
And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year;
“So have you no paid yer electricty bill agin Mac?
I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year
‘Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.’
Are ye sure that’s fae an auld kings speech Mac an S.?
Maybe he was a forward thinking King, and could see the effects of the smoking ban. Like it is not all bad, that people start talking to each other, the art of conversation, even though they might start off with asking for a light for their fag ( a fag is a cigarette, in case any of our American cousins are reading this, and might think that we set light to homosexuals, whilst standing outside the gates, or pubs ) it is still a start……….
Maybe islander has got it right?
good grief,tws,your about and about early this morning
Always my dear Carol, been up since 3.15am….
Tcha! Boasting Tws…up all night
I said to the man who stood at the Catflap of the Year,
“Ye’ll never fit in there sonny, come away roon by yon gate. An here’s a blinkie tae licht yer way.”"
I’m feeling a bit poetical…
