December 13, 200520 yr DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner. If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself. Important: as the following sentence contains many naughty words I warn you not to read it under any circumstances; botty, knickers, wee, erogenous zone, psychiatrist, clitoris, stockings, bosom, poetry reading, dentist, fellatio and the department of agriculture. "I suppose outright stupidity and complete lack of taste could also be considered points of view. "

Kinda like the Christian version of the rainbow. A promise from God. The Yule log is usually part of the previous year's tree. A bit of continuity from year to year. Holly is the green ( evergreen ) symbol of the 'God in winter'( oak during summer ). It's colours of red and green represent the union of God and Goddess ( also represented by bloodstone ). Ruminations... When a man has no Future, the Present passes too quickly to be assimilated and only the static Past has value.
