red-nosed reindeer

Oh yea, they have gotten this one right.  Scientists have now determined that Santa’s reindeer are female!  Of course they are.  They never get lost, and if they do, they stop and ask for directions.  They pack great for trips, but there is that antler thing. I thought that meant boy reindeer.

Not so, it seems that male and female reindeer both grow antlers, so they definitely could be girl-reindeers.  I guess the most convincing part of their argument for girls over the guys is the red-nose.  Females do like accessories, while it would be tough to get a boy to sport some shiny red bling on their nose.

And of course, there’s that verse about how they called “R” names and wouldn’t play with “R”.  Sounds like girls, right?

 

Debuking popular myths

The British Medical Journal just released a report debunking several popular myths.  With things being so busy this time of the year, you may have missed their report:

1. Poinsettias aren’t toxic to people or animals.

2. Suicides don’t increase over the Christmas holidays.

3. Sugar doesn’t make kids hyperactive.

4. Wales winning the rugy grand slam doesn’t influence the death of popes.

Every Christmas the Journal publishes this Christmas edition which is  a compilation  of wierd and light-hearted papers written over the year. This same edition included a report of a lady who fainted everytime she ate a sandwich.

I’m not a 100% sure what the British Medical Journal’s position on these published items says about national health care, but I do think  there is a lesson we can learn from it.

What do you think?

 

Only one Christmas…

Florida – December – Yankee Stay Home

It’s 75 today, another reason I love Florida, especially this time of the year.

 

That's Christmas

From Andrew Pearce, “….this is a project we have been doing at St Helen’s Church, Bishopsgate, London and ask if you would be willing to add the attached video to your blog? We have created this video to help people understand the real historical biblical Christmas story.

It is our hope that it would cause Christians to have confidence in the real eye witness accounts of Jesus’ birth and be something they would forward to friends . It features Australian Dr Paul Barnett and we are quite pleased with the result.”

Please spread the news of this amazing film…it’s worth it.
