Not only that, though; my wife's scratch pumpkin pies and oatmeal raisin cookies keep me gaining weight from November through just about this time every year. <br /><br />Most people say something to the effect that shepherds wouldn't be in the fields at night with sheep in the dead of winter, so that leaves spring through fall; then they work from some other events that can be pegged a bit closer in time of year and work to separate conclusions. Fall and spring both seem to be popular choices, but I have read some guys who say a birth some time in December could well be right. <br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-38604287627460559382013-12-29T13:24:49.210-05:002013-12-29T13:24:49.210-05:00Last week I heard an explanation somewhere that th...Last week I heard an explanation somewhere that the birth of Jesus was calculated in relation to his death, and that it has nothing to do with pagan anythings. It was a fascinating and thought-provoking explanation the details of which have completely gotten lost in too much pecan pie. Pecan pie is frickin' awesome.<br />-bravokiloAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-57260321983042461782013-12-25T15:37:36.914-05:002013-12-25T15:37:36.914-05:00Merry Christmas, Graybeard.Merry Christmas, Graybeard.Borepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029434172945099693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-2355318600149030012013-12-25T14:24:46.778-05:002013-12-25T14:24:46.778-05:00Merry Christmas.
