Thanks Jocon, but I don't think I could take too much more of the above.

Christmas blessings to you Boothead and thank you for sharing this memory on FR. Here is what Christmas means to me...

December 25, 2003: CHRISTmas (Cindy says, "Celebrate CHRIST everyday! Amen.")

Time changes, and so does Christmas.

you wipe clean the slate of all animosity

I like Festivus, where you clean the slate by telling off those who wronged you.

throw Tiny Tim upon your shoulder and ...

...and get busted for child abuse/endangerment.

Christmas is a day when ten cents talks.

Yes, it says, "Me and three dollars will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks."

With a handful of pence, you can set in motions tiny wavelets

Yes, they aren't good for much more than throwing in the lake.

Deny yourself of just one cigar and make a kiddie glad,

True.  What the heck, you have 363 other days of the year to turn her little lungs brown with second hand cigar smoke.

To the little Christian five years bigger, it means firecrackers and rabbit shooting

No, the firecrackers are the July 4, and why ruin Christmas for the rabbit?
