Remembering What It's All About
Basking in the post-holiday glow, as a public service I just want to remind everybody, with all the crass and rampant commericalism that the holiday has acquired over the years, what Christmas is all about. Here's a little clip from Full Metal Jacket to remind us-- it's all about the birthday of Jesus Christ.

Good lord, that's in German. That's just creepy as hell. I like Gunnery Sgt Hartman better as a scary redneck than as a nazi.
I could only understand about a third of what he was saying, but it wasn't terribly Christmassy.
Jesus might be a plastic action figure to you, but to some of us. . .he means something.
Bubs- Yeah, I could only find it in Italian and German-- at least in the German, the "Happy Birthday Dear Jesus" was in.
Barbara- It wasn't. I don't know if you've ever seen Full Metal Jacket, but one of the points of the scene was the contrast between the Sgt's enforcement of the worship of Christ with his absolute failure to grasp Christ's message.
Jesus wants anonymous to enjoy irreverence and genießen Sie.
Thanks Dale-- glad someone said that.
