What about Christ's birthday? Nobody reads?

Re: Oaks complains about the Christmas cards he gets
I'm not sure what the big deal is. Elder Oaks has a following of people who believe that he is an especial witness of Jesus. For all we know Jesus gave him the idea for the post after helping him sort all the cards. I know plenty of people who will take his words to heart and will make their cards more Christey next year. I can can hardly wait!

Hi Finn! 
Welcome to the board!
Speaking of next year - I am going to send one too!
It will be signed "Ceeboo from the MDB" - Surely this will create a 4th pile while sorting next year.
Peace,
Ceeboo

I am sure elder oaks would not have received that card well- patton got taken to the woodshed by 4 star bruce palmer us army Vietnam deputy commander over it as I recall.

Now that's ballsy. Any chance you still have that card?
no- but wiki might have or allude to it in write up on patton jr- I will search my army buddies but no promises. by the way patton jr was as crazy courageous as his ole man- jumping out of choppers as a colonel firing at the vc running out through rice paddies-also wore black sun glasses and a scarf with jungle fatigues as cdr armored cavalry regiment- he never was meant for a desk job!!!

This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

That is a good question.
