(read: this member of...Amen and preach on Brother! (read: this member of the choir fully agrees!!)<BR/><BR/>It isn't about Jesus. It hasn't been in so long. Yet, you have these folks (alas, my MIL is one of 'em) who feel 'persecuted', that there's a "war on Christmas" going on. If you don't say "CHRISTMAS", max out your Discover card, and put gaudy lights, tacky backlit Santas and stupid animated/lit-up reindeer all over your property ... that somehow you're not Christian. <BR/><BR/>Canned Holiday SpiritĀ® ... I love it. It makes me want lots and lots of spirit, but the other kind. And I don't drink.<BR/><BR/>No, it's about MONEY. Not Our Lord And Savior. Hasn't been for a long, long time. Good gawd, even THE SALVATION FREAKIN' ARMY set up their kettles early in November. <BR/><BR/>Today we're going to spend some time with my brother and his family down at Dad's cabin outside of Andalusia. Then we'll be taking in a drive-in flick outside of Dothan. Lots of driving, but it's all about family. <BR/><BR/>And, more than Jesus - I think the holidays are supposed to be about FAMILY. After all, family is what God intended for Man.<BR/><BR/>Your heart's just fine. At least you have one.<BR/><BR/>-TGTalmadgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02398182312942014436noreply@blogger.com
