It's a pagan evergreen dating back to before Christ was born. That is all

The fruitcake, also, is a lie

The written word is a lie.

Anger is an energy.

That's pretty damned creative.

Awesome idea

It's a Saturnalia miracle!

But what about this?

"Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and gold; they fasten it with nails and hammers, that it move not" (Jeremiah 10:2-4).

BEVETS little help please

I was just suggesting it would have been a more appropriate headline to stay in the theme of the Cake is a Lie meme, with a holiday touch. I have never had fruitcake and I'm not in a position to comment on it, but it's got a reputation for sucking so it also fits the spin-off. I meant no offense to your mum's cake, mate.

Merry Christmas to you too, though!

Alright....

I've been thinking...

When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade.

Make life take the lemons back!

Get MAD!

I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these?!

Demand to see Life's manager! Make Life rue the day it thought it could give me lemons.

Do you know who I am!?

I am the man who is going to burn your house down! With the lemons!

What does Jeebus have to do with fruitcakes, shopping, and Santa Clause?

There's always some Godless Grinch on Fark trying to ruin the spirit of Saturnalia.

Thanks, it was my daughter's idea. Even though we're all big Whovians my wife made me take it off last night, said it gave her the creeps }:)
