WhAt??????

It’s a great tradition. Also, homemade tamales are almost worth dying for.

@esther-c

Ah. That makes sense. We have turkey and ham for both, so we have dressing at both.

@esther-c

So, does your family have dressing or stuffing (or neither)?

We usually have cornbread dressing, although we have family up north who have stuffing, and I like both. The debates over which is better are fun to listen to.

We also have a bonfire and fireworks on Christmas Eve. It’s great fun.

@esther-c

Really? My family usually has a more traditional Christmas dinner with cornbread dressing, potatoes, turkey, ect. But we did barbeque one year with extended family, and enchiladas another.

I’m born and raised Texan, and yeah. Tamales especially are definitely a holiday food here. Although that doesn’t mean we don’t eat them year round,…[Read more]

@stephie yessss

@theducktator Executed for treason? Yikes. I’d hate to be the pecans.

Hey! That’s me!

oh so I guess you’re Sniper and Huntress’s child, then. (RAE’s told you about them right?)

@ellette-giselle LOLLLLLLL

they would so do that though

@theducktator

It just wouldn’t be Christmas without a Fisherprice nativity.😃

Agreed. XD

@esther-c

Random side note because I did recently find this out. Easter is mentioned in the KJV Bible (Acts 12:4), but it was an incorrect/imperfect translation. Most other translations use Passover.

We also have a new tradition where we eat a different cuisine for dinner on the three(?) nights leading up to Christmas.

That’s awesome. A lot of…[Read more]

Oatmeal cookies are celebrated on April 30th!

@ellette-giselle

Why? Aren’t oatmeal muffins (Or anything oatmeally) worth celebrating? 😊🤤

@theshadow
Remeber, humanity wasn’t created for ourselves. We where created to bring glory and honor to God, and eventually be his bride.
Us humans where made in the image and likeness of God (Gen 1:26-27), and “the LORD God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” (Gen 2:18). That “good” could pos…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Depends on what you mean as rough, and the time period.

If you mean worn; mismatched/replaced buttons, fraying hems, taped glasses, scuffed but clean shoes, fraying laces.

If you mean hardworking: muddy shoes, rolled cuffs, denim, flannel, holes in pockets/knees, strapped gloves.

If you mean from the hood? Worn clothing, denim, T-…[Read more]

Romans 14:5-6 ESV — “One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor o…[Read more]

@liberty

Doesn’t bother me since the 14th is already past. 😆

How about Dec 19th (National oatmeal muffin day!)

@linus-smallprint What I meant by “breaks immersion” is that I didn’t really want to pay attention to the spells. They have no use to me. They’re deeply evil in Alan’s world and useless in mine, so what reason do I have for needing them in my memory?

Also the part about the writer changing them didn’t make sense to me. Why not just not write…[Read more]

I’m kinda in between Whaley and Ellette on this. They both have good points I agree with.

It’s your call, Linus. Your story is the one on the line.

@whalekeeper I get that and to some extent agree. It’s just the inclusion of a detailed description of the spells kinda broke immersion for me a little. It didn’t seem THAT necessary.

@ellette-giselle

Oh why! Must it be a hand or foot? And why talons! Can’t you just restrict the movement! This is horrible. If he and Martha do get married, how is he supposed to hug her without slicing her back?!?!?

*feels slightly offended for the 90% of my characters that have talons*
