Some weird things I've seen in the last couple of days while out either working or going to the store shopping or a whole variety of things...
First, I saw a baby Jesus in the manger scene outside of a funeral home. It was a full sized one and it was right in front of the mortuary. Took up most of the front lawn.
Second, Someone on the other end of the phone calling their kids some four letter words and then when they realized that I had answered, changed their tone completely to that fake, over nice "oh how arrrrrrre yooooou?" Made me want to tiger-chunk...
Third, I saw a sign that said 'Jesus is the Reason for the Season'. Not out of the ordinary at this time of year. But at a Kentucky Fried Chicken???
Finally, another manger set-up. This one took the cake. It was in a bar I stopped in to get a bite to eat. I sat down, ordered some chicken, turned to my right, and did a double take as I saw the three wise men, Joseph, Mary and the baby Jesus in their usual display, only this time instead of an animal barn, they were brought to us by the fine folks of Miller Lite. I sat there with my jaw agape, and didn't make heads or tails of the whole thing... they were part of a beer display??? No wonder I don't drink that watered-down, moose pee from Milwaukee. I'll never move up there because it's socialist, but when it comes to quality brew and respect for the season, I'll tip my hat to the Canadians anytime... Hope you finished your Christmas shopping... I'll begin mine tomorrow... gotta luv it!

i had a friend steal my baby jesus out of my table-top nativity years ago. he held it hostage for 3 years.
We've always had our fair share of nativity scenes down here...we sorta do our own thing down here when it comes to celebrating Christmas. Cajuns are pretty blasted hard headed that way. But I can say that I have heard "Merry Christmas" this year much more often that the standby "Happy Holidays". As for hearing four letter words, (ain't talking about 'love' here), yesterday some guy cut me off in traffic, nearly hit my truck, and had a big enough set on him to actually stop, get out of his truck, let loose with a stream of unmentionable 'pleasantries' all the while flipping me off with BOTH hands. And I'm sitting in my truck, amazed, because this guy cut me off! Road rage is an amazing spectacle to behold at times. Merry Christmas, Mik.
