A humongous pork belly has just gone on. After four hours simmering in tangerine juice and chicken stock (with some other bits and pieces) we will be dining on Sir Oinkalot or Mohammed – not sure which one it came from. Overindulge and enjoy yourselves today. Merry Christmas and Happy Pagan Tree Ceremonies to you all.

Am I the only one to be outraged that the ‘openly jewish’ DPF should be hijacking the purity of our Christian festival on his very biased pro-zionist so-called ‘blog’?

And well, to top that off, imagine my shock to wake up and find that some guy called ‘Santa’ had ’emptied his sack’ all over my living room floor. . . .

Have a good ‘un one and all – be safe. let’s hope that little nine year-old girl in W. Auckland starts to see some light at the end of the tunnel this coming year. . . (and indeed all little ones who are mistreated – yeah I know – but we can wish can’t we?)

Merry Christmas Kiwiblogites! Have a great day!

Mine started with a surprise – the newspaper arrived.

The Christchurch Press took the unusual step of publishing a Christmas Day edition.

Commendable. But when I picked it up it was hard to find much “Christmasy” about it.

On the front a giant picture of Korean taxi driver who generously feeds the hungry in Christchurch. Nice guy, and certainly showing Christian spirit, but the newspaper doesn’t make it clear whether this is indeed a Christian charitable act. It could be a Buddhist one and he might be amused or offended by having it described as a Christian one. Or perhaps his motivation was mentioned in the newspaper months ago.

The next big article inside shows a group of Red Chinese who are bidding for control of the country’s second biggest agribusiness – PGG Wrightson. With them is one of the country’s leading business Scrooges (as far as small shareholders are concerned) – George Gould – so I guess that’s a Dickensian Christmas touch.

There’s a report describing how the Hare Krishna ignore Christmas and another about how the country’s 10,000 Jews acknowledge Christmas. Another warning about boozy breakfasts.

But I can’t find much about Jesus Christ. Not even the “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Christmas” the newspaper used to wish its readers on December 24.

Has the MSM gone multicultural mad, or are the country’s ten or more taxpayer-funded journalist training schools madrasas of atheism? They obviously graduate students who know more about Matariki than about Christmas.

Or am I being uncharitable, and the rot is at the top?

Lights of Franklin Road, Auckland were great. As were the carol singers up and down the road. Maybe if the atheist lobby was inspired to do something like that more people might convert to their religion.

Merry Christmas, peace to all people of Good will.

Santa missed me out and I’m pretty sure there is a heap of beer missing too.

Sitting in the sun in our movan on the North bank of the Rangitata we can hear Christmas rushing up and down SH1 and I hope all get to their Christmas safely.
All the very best to all those who visit here, have a great one.

Merry Xmas all.

(One of my presents was a satirical religious take on social media, called “Jesus on Thyface: Social Networking for the Modern Messiah” 🙂 )

You’re better off just enjoying the few good aspects of your religion rather than being bitter about those perfectly capable of doing the same without the need for believing in fairytales.

I have to say that 4.5 kg of pork belly pretty much disappeared. It was an Emeril Lagasse recipe I saw on Cooking Channel.

“Nice guy, and certainly showing Christian spirit, but the newspaper doesn’t make it clear whether this is indeed a Christian charitable act.”

Surprisingly Sth Korean supplies the world with the largest number of Christian missionaries, not the US.

But that effort will be dwarfed in the coming decades as China’s 100 million Christians (and rapidly growing) break out of China and start converting its Muslim neighbours.
Then there’s the 400 million Christians in Africa expected to be 650 million in 20 years.. its from there we may expect the next leader of the Anglicans and soon enough the next Pope. These are not milk and honey Christians.. they are forged in oppression and bloodshed and are converting 6 million Muslims per year.. they are going to give the world a right old shakeup in the decades ahead.

What has happened to Islam, JC.
It seems just the other day we were being told it was the fastest growing
religion in the world.
Maybe its the christmas ‘spirit’, but I am a little confused.

Fred,

Overall Islam is still growing faster than Christianity (but remains numerically smaller) because it has that huge Asian base of fertility.

However, the pivot point is probably Africa.. in 1900 there were just 9 million Christians, but 380 million in 2000. Islam has about 470 million these days but is obviously struggling with that momentum established by Christianity.

At the current rate of expansion Christianity should dominate the continent in the future with Islam holding the North and places like Sudan the battleground between the religions. Not surprisingly the list of free and partly free African nations are mostly Christian, and pushing up from the South. Perhaps most important of all the North produces sand and Allah but the South has the agricultural and mineral potential.. along with Jesus of course 🙂

The moving target of the warmists. Not long ago they were predicting no snow and warmer weather, now is exactly the opposite but for the same reason: AGW.

These “scientists” and peddlers of falsity are exposed as the liars and controlists they are: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1341388/Global-warming-Britain-longer-colder-winters-melting-sea-ice-plays-havoc-weather-patterns.html
