When most people travel or buy gifts to share with relatives and friends, some of whom they don’t like the rest of the year and would rather not meet them, but they are honouring family traditions.
For the young women and men, especially in my village, there is always an auntie asking when you will introduce a significant other and shortly they will be asking about grandchildren.
And finally, there are the atheists, agnostics and many others in between who over the years have come to detest Christmas with all the lights and the ads, especially the ads. I am here to rescue all of you. You see, we have evidence I was born on 25th of Dec. We have no evidence for Jesus or was he Emmanuel. What this means therefore, is, you can, instead of buying gifts for that aunt you don’t like, you can buy me. You can also toast a bottle to my long days or something. Or you can as well call me.
And this, my dear friends, is how you must celebrate my birthday. I have the birth certificate to prove it, just in case one has any doubts. Any Christian who has doubts will have to come with Jesus’ birth certificate before they can see mine.
Birth certificate or nothing hahaaaa

And it has to be the “Long Form” birth certificate! Or else I will posit that Maka traveled back in time to make sure his (non) birth was properly noted!
happy BIRTHDAY, ANYWAY! 🙂

more than happy to drink wine in honor of you. And you bring up a good point, who is this Emmanuel guy?

He is never called Emmanuel anywhere in the NT. He must be a guy with fake IDs

well, since no one could recognize him after he was dead, he must be a master of disguise.

That’s so funny, Swarn. How’s your own babe by the way. Must be quite big by now?

Haha…glad to provide a chuckle. 🙂 The baby is doing well, thank you for asking. He’s eager to walk and often stiffens his body straight as a board when you tried to sit him down. He’s very close to crawling too, but still not there. He desperately wants to go places though. Hoping he figures out crawling or walking soon, because I think he’ll be much more content…even if we’ll be constantly running after him to pull him away from the cat litter. lol He’ll be 9 months old in a week, and is definitely a good sized baby!

You have no idea what a gift you just gave me, Mak. I’m struggling with gift giving to someone I’m very cross with. So it’s a matter of a) – grit the teeth as a matter of family or in this case, friendship’s honour. Or b) give you the present. of course I choose you. But you will have to imagine the big hug I’m sending you. Were you really born on Christmas Day? How very wonderful of you.
