Merry Christmas ya big lugs!!!
From a guy stuck in the middle of aaaaa, ummmmm, uhhhh interesting place, you guys are many times my only source of outside contact with non ummm uhhhhh people that mostly live around here. (see avatar on left, you'll get it). Don't get me wrong... super nice people, I just don't play on the team so I am the black sheep.
Thanks for the fellowship and I wish you all a Merry Christmas and prosperous new year.
Here's to 10's or 11's for your cars, peace in your homes and lives and $$ in your bank accounts in 2010.

Careful with the religious jokes, the j/k doesn't exactly change what was said.

Although I do make WASP jokes. And my spouse makes Jewish jokes. It's a way to make light of some of your own culture's idiosyncrasies.
Happy Holidays!
p.s., I will say this and then let it rest: you guys brought up the thing about being an outsider, etc.. Of course you're outsiders, Utah is the birthplace of the Church of LDS. But by talking about it, and Jim making certain that we know he's not Mormon thru his avatar, etc., then it becomes kind of like you are treating Mormonism as some sort of disease. Them vs you, etc.. Does it matter so much that you are Mormon or not? It sounds as though you're implying that there's something wrong with Mormonism.
It's like me being sure to say: yeah, I'm from Rome but I'm not Roman Catholic, or I'm from Abu Dhabi, but not Muslim, or Tel Aviv but not Jewish, etc.. It's saying that you are not one of "them." It's equally inappropriate.
Anyway, it's a good time of the year to be conscious of these sort of things and reflect! Again, cheers and happy holidays to all!!

Of course, you're quite right. And the reality is that very few LDS are actually polygamous. Freedom of religion is vital to a democracy.

I know a lot of people in Utah, both LDS and non-LDS, and it's definitely a different atmosphere. Never lived there, but there seems to be a lot of stereotypes and judgments based around an area that is dominated by one religion, both by members of the religion and those that aren't.
Oh well.... Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, however you say it, may you have a safe and wonderful day and a Happy New Year.
