We're celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.

I owe him everything I am and everything I have. I owe him my life.

I wish you all true peace that only he can give you.

No money, no power and no human love can substitute.

Be blessed, whoever you are - we are all equal before him.

It seems as you get older, you’re less likely to cry from physical pain, but more likely to cry from emotional pain.

There is no such thing as "nacho cheese", but clearly any cheese put on a nacho _becomes_ nacho cheese, so at any given moment you can fundamentally change the global understanding of nacho cheese by putting any arbitrary cheese on any arbitrary nacho. Brie? Paneer? Limburger? Cottage? There are no rules here. I have given you a new semiotic superpower. In the scope of all things "nacho" and "cheese" you are unstoppable, go forth and rend this narrow tex-mex world from its foundations.
