I told the story in a recent post about how the person that clued me in about Santa Claus was also the same person that first made me doubt the existence of God. So I thought the picture below was appropriate for today, even though I know that posting this picture today is sort of […]
Last year, I posted a series of videos during the week of Christmas so I thought I'd carry on the tradition this year. “JCB Song” is a great song to start with this year. It's not really a Christmas song but was contender for the UK Christmas #1 a few years ago. The song has […]
