Who is Santa?

SPONSORED AD

A lot of different Christian traditions created what we now call as Santa Clause. St. Nicholas, Bishop Nicholas, Santa Clause, are all born of the same traditions, but are different societies ideals of good, generous, and joy.

The entire tradition started with one man. Bishop Nicholas, was a real man. He was kind to the poor at a time when the life of a poor man was worth less than a good hound. Lords demanded a seven year old boy swear fealty for the rest his life. Fealty meant ‘a life of slavery.’ This was a time when a woman had no rights to her body. If a Lord took her, and she became pregnant, she and her bastard child would be cast out to die. This was the world that Bishop Nicholas lived in. The world of Martin Luther, of a new awakening of the bible, which was soon to be squelched and abridged by King James. It was a time when a woman could rule for an entire lifetime without being a regent – for the first time in modern history.

It teamed up with Universal Studios Home Entertainment to insert a running tally of the destruction into the recent HD DVD release of "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift." As cars smack into one another in Tokyo, a display in a small window keeps track: "Roof repair: $209, taillights: $451, fender: $618.' (Which, my son watched, and thought it was much better than the first)

Do You Wear Scrubs? Even if You Are Not a Doctor?

SPONSORED AD

Scrubs, the uniforms worn by doctors and nurses – and people like me. You see them worn on the medical shows. Go to scrubs to see what I mean. This website offers thousands of designs, styles, colors, and fabrics available. Surgeons and Surgical nurses can now wear coordinating separates and patterns.

I know a few people who wear scrubs. Vets wear scrubs. I wear scrubs. They are comfortable, easy to clean, and last a long time. I use to wear a scrub jacket in the house. I never owned the pants, just the jacket. Scrubs are comfortable, easy to clean, and loose around the shoulders. I wanted something comfortable and relatively warm to wear around the house, and I found the scrub jacket perfect. Then, I started wearing it when I was cleaning the house.
