That Coca-Cola, makers of a fizzy drink usually served cold, got it indelibly associated, in the minds of the gullible and thick, with a midwinter festival, and even convinced many people that they invented the modern image of Father Christmas.

From today's "Word on Fire" gospel reflection:

The King comes as a helpless infant, born of insignificant parents in a small town of a distant outpost of the Roman Empire. He will conquer through the finally irresistible power of love, the same power with which he made the universe.

The true miracle of Christmas

And, after loads of advice from Auntie Beeb, I /still/ haven't watched an episode of Gavin and Stacey.

Turkey done the Australian way in birds of a feather.  It took off and landed in the front garden. But it was funny fireworks and all.....

Dear Squeak,

Quoting your own quotes👍 and how do you know they never had turkey, Joseph might have went out and shoot one with his shotgun, or, OR one of the three wiseguys ( Italians ) might have brought baby Jesus one.

Gavin and Stacey, what was that all about :o
