How many Christmas cards have you gotten?

[Skip Towne]

I'v gotten 14 but I'm still running anxiously to the mailbox each day.

[Saulbadguy]

None. I'm awaiting the one from my boss. Last year I got 2 from him, and they were very "Jesus-y" christmas cards, too. My other co-workers report getting only 1, or none at all. I wonder what that is all about?

I wish I had your address. I'd send you one as a joke.

Sounds like a lawsuit is in order.

[greg63]

Two, thats all so far. :shrug:

[Rain Man]

This year, or lifetime?

[sedated]

Zero, and I don't expect any.

I wish someone loved me...

[Skip Towne]

This year, or lifetime?
I meant how many did you get yesterday.

[luv]

Two in the mail. About 20 from employees at work so far.

[Saulbadguy]

I bet Skip still has all of his Christmas cards, and the invitations to Jesus' birthday parties.

No, I lost those during the war when Sherman burned Atlanta.

[Rain Man]

I'm probably running 8 to 10 at home, and maybe 20 at the office. I think I hurt my returns by not having time to send out personal cards last year.

[Eleazar]

I've only got like 2. But... being a guy... I don't usually send them out.

[Hammock Parties]

Zero.

You should have waited until Mr. Kotter outed you.

[Alton deFlat]

BTW, is that you running to your mailbox in your avi, or is that LJ?

[Iowanian]

The real question is, how many of those "Christmas letters" did you get?

You know....the ones written "by the cat" that brag about how they won the Pie contest at the county fair, and how Cousin Hajib got a watermellon stuck in his arse on the 4th of july..tee hee"

[Rain Man]

0.00

I'm surprised that you haven't even received a partial Christmas card yet.

[Lurch]

49, so far.

When I send mine out, it includes an order form in case people want reprints.

[Donger]

We got one yesterday from an old girlfriend of mine. My wife was not amused.

[Skip Towne]

What? Vlad didn't send you one?

[angel]

I've gotten 5 at work, 3 or so at my parent's house
and 1 that's actually for me and me alone!! I guess I'm growing up...

[Rain Man]

Does anyone else get conflicted about some of the business cards that they get? We'll get Christmas cards at home from an auto repair shop that we use once a year, and from our bank that undoubtedly sends out a million cards. I feel like it's cheating to put them with the cards from friends and relatives, because truthfully I'm not that popular, but at the same time I feel a little guilty about opening them up and then tossing them into the trash can. Does anyone else have this problem?

Considering that you paid for part of them, you shouldn't feel guilty.

[Demonpenz]

i always get head scratching christmas cards. Ones that leave me going WHAT THEE **** either because it's someone that i barely know or that they wrote something in there that i don't know wtf they are talkin about or the fun ones where i don't know who they are and i don't know what they are talking about and they somehow slip my name in there.

[Hammock Parties]

When I was in grade school my parents made me refuse christmas cards. ROFL

We usually have a few left over after all of the addressing and stuff, so I'll just send them to random people in the phone book. I figure that sooner or later I'll hit some lonely widow who'll put me in her will.

We just turned our lights off.

People who do that kind of stuff to little kids should be drawn and quartered. Were you allowed to trick or treat? I'll bet not.

[Kerberos]

WTF ..... Didn't any of you Schleps get a Non-Denominational Holiday Greetings Card from the KC Chiefs???

I get one EVERY year with the team on it.

Being a Season ticket holder has some perks I guess.:shrug:

:D

[Demonpenz]

His trick or treating involved a bible and getting pushed off the porch

[Eleazar]

Did they let you have birthdays?


At any rate we should merge this thread with the ladies of chiefsplanet thread and they can all send me Christmas cards :D

No xmas, no birthdays, no easter, no nothing.

[Donger]

Dang, I'm starting to feel a little bit of sorrow for gochiefs.

[Area 51]

Just picked up the mail, 6 more today to add to the total of 22. That would be 28 so far.

I have sent zero for the past 3 years and the incoming total seems to be diminishing. I wonder why?

[Eleazar]

No xmas, no birthdays, no easter, no nothing.

So you were a JW then. How come the kindgom halls don't have windows? I've always wondered that.

And what was so evil about a birthday? I can see the religious holidays, but why no birthdays?

[Hammock Parties]

The windows, I dunno. There was probably some incident with people throwing crap through windows at some point.

As for birthdays, there are two birthday's mentioned in the bible. Something bad happens at both of them (i.e. at herod's john the baptizer got his head chopped off) so the JW's interpret that as god telling us not to celebrate birthdays.

:spock:

[Hammock Parties]

This is direct from the official JW site:

4. Birthdays: The only two birthday celebrations spoken of in the Bible were held by persons who did not worship Jehovah. (Genesis 40:20-22; Mark 6:21, 22, 24-27) The early Christians did not celebrate birthdays. The custom of celebrating birthdays comes from ancient false religions. True Christians give gifts and have good times together at other times during the year.

I've always wondered how JWs get around the only 144,000 getting in heaven deal.

Wasn't there a celebration on Jesus' birthday? I thought I read something once about some shepherds and such.

[Hammock Parties]

Wasn't there a celebration on Jesus' birthday? I thought I read something once about some shepherds and such.

From the link:

3. Christmas and Easter: Jesus was not born on December 25. He was born about October 1, a time of year when shepherds kept their flocks out-of-doors at night. (Luke 2:8-12) Jesus never commanded Christians to celebrate his birth. Rather, he told his disciples to memorialize, or remember, his death. (Luke 22:19, 20) Christmas and its customs come from ancient false religions. The same is true of Easter customs, such as the use of eggs and rabbits. The early Christians did not celebrate Christmas or Easter, nor do true Christians today.

It has it's roots in the bible somewhere.

[Iowanian]

I'll bet the 144,001 member on the registry is pissed.

No birthdays.
No windows in Church.
No Christmas presents
No Halloween costumes(now we understand why you like Vader so much)

144,001 to sign in.....No heaven.

But it could be worse...

Just think of the disappointment of a terrorist who blew his baows off with a belt bomb, only to get there and find out that gochiefs was 1 of his virgins.

[Donger]

It has it's roots in the bible somewhere.

Yes. Revelation.

But last I checked, there are significantly more than 144,000 JWs.

[sedated]

No xmas, no birthdays, no easter, no nothing.

sounds like a fun family...jesus f*cking christ

I bet those party animals loved funerals

[Hammock Parties]

Yes. Revelation.

Yeah I know. Apparently most of them don't care about getting the shaft.

BTW, the basis for knowing you're one of the "anointed" is total bullshit.

Apparently you just "know."

I would like to find out who keeps track of how many slots are left.

[sedated]

f*ck all this religious talk, I just want my iPod

[Skip Towne]

They sure don't have any problem with invading other people's privacy. I'm rude to them when they knock on my door.

[PastorMikH]

I think we've gotten somewhere between a half dozen and a dozen and a dozen. Though it seems most of the family waits until they get ours first to remember they need to send them. We'll probably end up with 75-100.

[PastorMikH]

Revelation 7:4. However, this is in reference to the Jewish people and Jewish people alone and pertains the the number of Jewish people that will flee to the Mount of Olives when Jesus and His heavenly army returns to wage war on Satan and the Anti-Christ.

Try telling that to a JW. They'll accuse you of being a false prophet and leave.

[PastorMikH]

You know, I bet this all came from some Board Members trying to save $$

"Say, if we make a rule that says no windows in church, not only will we not have to buy windows, we will also save on the heating bill"

"Say, if we say no birthday presents, no Christmas presents, Halloween costumes and so on, our minister won't have as many expenses and we won't have to pay him as much." "Say, wait a minute, that also means we can save $$$ at home too! All in favor? I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I"

That's funny considering they are the ones taking the passage out of context.

[Skip Towne]

Those are really nice. especially that one with Lenny throwing a pass with no helmet on. That has to be worth some money. Do you actually own all those cards? My mom threw away about $600,000 worth of rookie Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra and Roger Maris cards after I moved out.

I just got those paticular cards as Christmas gifts from my B-law who drew my name in the Christmas drawing. He's a fun dude and he came up with the 'Eight Days Of Christmas' and he's been gifting a little at a time. There are three "days" left and I'm pretty sure the last gift is gonna be a Fat Head......As a Springfield Chiefs Fans i'm an easy mark for Christmas. As a 44 year old it seems silly to some but I dig this kinda stuff. Of course any gift I recieve for any occasion no matter who gave it I'll keep it forever. I'm funny that way.

The real value in recieving a gift is knowing that a person thinks enough of you to give you something and then being able to cherish that and showing them that you do. As far as i'm concerned nobody should spend their money on me because I have more then I need. When i do recieve gifts though I cherish them and make it known.

Bob Dole just received his third. This one from the State of Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration. It reads in part:

Under authorization of federal law (Section 6103 (D) of the Internal Revenue Code), this office has obtained information from the Internal Revenue Service that you used an Arkansas address on your Federal income tax return for the year 2002.

We have been unable to locate your State income tax return for the above tax year(s). Please check the social security numer shown above with the social security number used on your Arkansas return.

blah blah blah blah...

Any tax due reflected on the return(s) will be subject to penalty and interest as provided by Arkansas Code Annotated 26-18-508 as ammended.

blah blah blah...

Merry Christmas.

Here's a couple of thoughts...

Why don't you reference your own ****ing Arkansas Code Annotated 26-52-601 and learn that residents of Texarkana, AR are EXEMPT from your stupid income tax. And while you're at it, instead of spending the time and money to mail stupid form letters right before Christmas, and instead of wasting yours AND Bob Dole's time and money mailing forms back and forth and making long distance phone calls, hire a damned programmer to write the one line of code required to kick out returns originating from the 71854 zip code.
