NOM

As we welcome the returning sun with joy, may this Solstice and the turning of the wheel bring you health, love, peace, and good fortune in the coming year!

Edit:

I like this one:

I have no great meme, but the conjunction of Saturn with his son Jupiter on the winter equinox clearly indicates that the gods have forgiven the inhabitants of Earth for the sins which they identified at the beginning of this year.

Just kidding. 1 in a million happens about 3 times per month.

However, as our days get longer, I hope everyone's happiness increases. I'm glad the planets don't control our destinies, not even planets orbiting distant stars with weird pseudo-Egyptian names.

Love these!

Here's wishing you all good thoughts and feelings during our shortest daylight hours of the season. Here's our year round dead painted gold juniper tree, decorated with toilet-paper-roll ornaments, glass crystals, a few lathed wood ornaments, some led lights. The rest of the traditional decor stayed in boxes this year, just not in the mood; not sure where we'll be next year.

Cheers!

Wow! I love your tree! Very cool!

I love your tree. It is exactly the kind of thing my mother did. Once when I was a kid, she picked up an old dead Joshua tree trunk in the desert of Southern Utah. A few years later, she got in a “bah humbug” mood about all the work to get ready for Christmas, only to have to clean it all up, and that was our Christmas tree that year. With colored lights, gold tinsel, and red ornaments. And everyone got such a kick out of it that it was the Christmas tree for several years. So much less work and it didn’t drop needles that get stuck in the carpet until February. And when the neighbors would ask if we had a “real tree” for Christmas, without batting an eye, she told them yes, we had a real tree. She was the kind to serve pizza on Thanksgiving, and put turkey pepperoni on it, and claim it as “turkey with all the fixings” when anyone asked what she was fixing for Thanksgiving.

Hope everyone is doing well. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year

Joy to the NOM, let us our songs enjoy!

She sounds like my kind of person. I love the non traditional and happily serve pizza, BBQ, anything for Thanksgiving but that stuff we’re supposed to feel obligated to eat.

The infamous Starbucks cup that was front and center in the War Against Christmas. They removed the previous year's snow flakes and holly berries and thus, apparently, offended Jesus. Why? I dunno. For one thing holly berries are a traditional pagan symbol.

It is a two-fold affront to Mormons. Snowflakes: no. Coffee: yes:

Let us raise our cups, berries or not, in celebration of Christmas. Personally I think Jesus would have been exactly the kind of guy who would love to sit down with you over a hot cup and share some seasonal love.

That's a great rug, it really ties the room together.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all my fellow nomies !!!!!!! Its been a challenging year to say the least but we are still here together !!!!! I have done much studying this year about Mormonism and have found that its even worse than I had ever imagined!!!!!!!! Shawn Mccraney shed light on what I had been missing and all I can say is Wow !!! I had only scratched the surface on my own . I am a liberated man in so many ways now, gone is any guilt I may have had when I see an organization dedicated to deceiving the followers who are only doing their best to be faithful !! May God bless you and your families in the coming year .

Cheers, NOM. We've almost made it through 2020. That definitely calls for a celebratory beverage of your choice.

Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas! Happy Festivus! And all that jazz.

I truly hope you are all happy and well this week!!

Merry Christmas to all of you out there... hope your day is a good one. I still enjoy the day even if I view it differently... no reason not to embrace a holiday that is about family and being good to each other even if the underlying story isn't real.

A day late and a dollar short of course.
