Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Christmas Over The Years

I whipped together this montage fairly quickly right before Christmas to show everybody on Christmas Eve. It’s not my best work – my first attempt ended up with the music I picked not working properly.  Then I tried to use YouTube’s Creative Commons music but couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to […]

Secular Sunday – Why Do Atheists Celebrate Christmas?
