Merry Christmas!

Hey guys,

I just wanted to wish you all a very belated Merry Christmas! I was away for yesterday’s post so unfortunately I couldn’t put anything new up on the site. Anyway, I hope you all had a great Christmas as I did and I hope your New Year is just as good. Getting sunny down in Australia so looks very nice to go to the beach soon.

Anyhow, hope you all had fun and were safe!

Bye!

The “CrapWrap” - Christmas Future?

Are you a guy? Now, I am looking for the answer of “yes” otherwise you can move on. To be honest, you can keep reading even if you aren’t. Now, if you are a guy; you would know just how hard it gets come Christmas time. Especially if you are assigned the job of wrapping presents. Even wrapping a present for your wife, girlfriend and son on takes time and is pretty difficult due to the normal nature of us men.

Having to get the paper; cut it straightly and then wrap it all up nicely - really is annoying even thinking about it! - Well this story does actually have a point. As you would know, women like the nice fancy stuff in other words: bows, nice wrapping paper, ribbons and so on. Considering we cannot be bothered; a new revolution has arisen!

You can get all that nasty boring stuff done for you for a small charge. The future of Christmas is here; no more taking time out of your busy schedule wasting time wrapping presents. FireBox is now offering a new service called CrapWrap to help you get this all done! They have literally paid 20 of there finest truck divers and warehouse workers to wrap presents; did I mention they are using nothing but little care, wrapping paper and brown duct tape.

The cost of this great service? An amazing $9 for this awesome work. Imagine that; all the free time you could have spare from not having to work on wrapping presents. They will also make sure to do the worst job possible for you, they will make a mess of it. Oh, and it doesn’t matter whether it is a DVD, sewing machine or even a microwave they will wrap it!

Be on of the 500+ that have already chosen to side with this offer.

Christmas In July

The Star of Bethlehem, possibly one of the most recalled happenings in the Christmas story; it is widely celebrated in books of Jesus, mainly in the bible and other Christmas stories. Now, scientists and astronomers have had to bring up the issue whether it was all because of the new born maybe king; or was it linked to some kind of happening amongst stars.

They cannot answer whether it was specifically there for Jesus, but they have come to a well explained answer about the start having some kind of appearance due to an astronomical event. The Star of Wonder labeled by ancient people in that time; has brought about in interesting story.

What has been said to believe is a few planets and one of the brightest stars came together. Also, it didn’t happen on December the 25th as most have said; rather June the 17th sometime in 2BC. Now the June Christmas star made a huge hit, but it got an even bigger boost when astronomer Dave Reneke, ran a few scans back around the time and certified that the pattern was almost identical.
