For those of you who do not know the origins of the New Year Holiday, ti became the first of the year under the Christians. They wanted a day to celebrate the anniversary of Jesus’ circumcision.
Of course, that brings me to another story … two years ago from Goldy at HorsesAss.
1 Samuel 18:25-27
“Say to David, ‘The king wants no other price for the bride than a hundred Philistine foreskins, to take revenge on his enemies.’” Saul’s plan was to have David fall by the hands of the Philistines.When the attendants told David these things, he was pleased to become the king’s son-in-law. So before the allotted time elapsed, David took his men with him and went out and killed two hundred Philistines and brought back their foreskins. They counted out the full number to the king so that David might become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him his daughter Michal in marriage.
There is a saying in the holy book of faces, “What Goes around Comes Around.”

I hope he didn’t smite the ones whose foreskins he had aareldy cut off. I’d consider them aareldy smitten.Seriously, I expect his priests read goat entrails or some other traditional method to communicate with Yahweh. Much more dependable than tweeting.
