A Different Christmas

Brilliant Genius you are merry christmas dear Jess see you in the new yr ;) love and biggest hugs Jayne x x

this adds a whole new twist on miraculous conception... have a good holiday! Richard

And though you may consider this a "one and done" I believe it's worth cleaning up. Line six needs to be split in two and the conclusion of it smootehd out. The message, however, is as clear as it is relevant, which is why I want you to clean this up. --Jonathan Annoying the world, one person at a time (Group discounts available)

screwed up. loved it...

Loved the attitude. Can see you influences- Bukowski, Hunter Thompson, Hallucinogens - promote that off center (way off center) point of view that I love. And you do rhyme! very artfully. Great stuff - mike

A very good way of looking at christmas. everything about chrristmas story seems a liitle ambiguous but the religion and the fath will make us believe it as the way.

hi i luv the craefully chosen words in this and the possibilitys it throws out, speaking of aliens i once saw a ufo and no one belived me till was in the papers the next day but this was when i was about 12 yrs of age i`d luv to write about it but i have not felt the moment was right yet alot of other stuf in the head at the moment , chat soon happy new year i hope 2010 is everything you are hoping it will be ,,,,,,,,,,,ziggy

I just love this site. Holy days and holidays will never be the same for me great, home at last... happy Hogmany Seabhac

I love the way you have put this poem into what I feel is your view of xmas and yet there is a truth about it. We are all different and we do spend xmas in our own way. I found this witty and enjoyable to read. All the best for 2010. Lyz. XX

Surely not, lol. We are a mixed breed and I know our beliefs etc are too, so good on ya, still a great poem. Love Lyz. XX

Hi Jess, Hope the New year is treating you well. Solstice is a great time of year, admittedly I love christmas too, but thats because I have kids. It's the middle of summer for you isn't? Well I am going to take a leap and talk about the poem. Now the only problem I see with it, as one of your poems. Is that agree, and Humanity almost ryhme. The ending e, catchs the ryhme nerve. I find this not likly what you intended. I love a good ryhme though, I just always seen you on the side of anti ryhme. All good of coarse. I felt that it expressed your views very well. Thanks for sharing. Julie D.D.

All I want to know is how the fuck did I miss this until 2 weeks later? You are bloody brilliant, medicine man. You bring to light what ails the human condition. Love, Anna Coincidentally (or not) the last couple of nights I watched the Alien trilogy. All ripe with layers of meaning, esp. the last 2.

I loved this alternative. I wrote a poem on Yule and Solstice, titled Banquet. I would be honored if you would read and comment on it. Love Cat

like Thomas Merton, for example, and less capitalist consumerism, I say. (I felt like Aliens III was a a big letdown. Sigourney Weaver carries that girl through both of them, and she's just dead at the beginning? Come on.) Honest, interesting piece. GB

Now I'll never see Alien 1-3 in the same light. Or Christmas for that matter... Curse your brilliance!

Hi Weirdelf The way the world is heading it certainly won't be humanity that saves the world? I wouldn't mind spending Christmas with a wee cute nice alien. We could watch some less violent Si-Fi, although I do love the Alien films, seen them a few times. Before the more sophisticated Si-Fi. I loved Stargate. I've only seen the early series. I don't have Sky TV. Just BT Vision and Freeview. I love the idea of traveling into space to other planets. Xena

Christmas is a confused blur of too many traditions and other 'kitschy' agendas all at once. I wanted to celebrate yule last year not to replace the holiday or anything but to experience what the roots of the holiday is like. Where it not for yule, I wonder if Christmas would have any gift giving at all. Yay for pagan - christian assimilation holidays, always funny to think about.

a freind then had a subscription to fanlog or something so I got all the storyboard art and interviews Starlog maybe?? My uncle had a garage and at night we would walk from the house part to the garage and look at the chain hoists grease hydraulic lift and out back in the cold bitter moonscape the wrecked cars looking like alien ships and in the coffee shop where the buses dropped off passengers behind the drawn metal venetians on the plated glass was the paperback rack with all the science fiction covers pulp magazines the sleeping kitchen nearby with its stainless and pot lights here and there turned on I lived at home when everyone was away FM radio was like the radio transmissions I loved the ALIEN movies and the THING

so, so clever o weird one. (good movie choice too...ripley rocks) cheers p
