It’s worth post thing this just for the cheer it brings to people I like and the splutter it will induce in others.
Merry Christmas!

My family and I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! I offer this to all because Christmas is a holiday for all, whether you are a Christian believer or not. The message of Christmas is full of hope, peace, joy, and the fellowship of all mankind; so I find it amazing that every year we hear more accounts of a ramped up “war on Christmas.”
How sad and ironic that a handful of grinches are at war with the annual celebration of the birth of the Prince of Peace, whose coming was prophesied centuries earlier and was then gloriously heralded by the angels with a blessing for “peace on earth” and “good will toward men.” Even if one doesn’t believe the story, can’t one at least recognize the beauty of the message? Or at the very least, let everyone else enjoy the season without throwing a temper tantrum at the sight of a Nativity scene? People who feel affronted by a baby in a humble Manger display or a few Christmas carols have truly lost all sense of proportion and seem to be most in need of some holiday cheer.
At a time when our country is divided on so many things, Christmas unites us. It’s a beautiful part of our culture, and for many of us it’s a beautiful part of our Faith. In fact, for believers it’s “the main thing.” In today’s tumultuous times we can remember the bible’s record of Three Wise Men from the East who received an angelic message of Jesus’ birth. They may have been unsure of the message, so they sought truth. They trekked to Bethlehem to find out more. There, they found Jesus and they honored Him. The story of the wise men reminds us that today wise men still seek Him. So in this season especially, let’s seek truth.
Let’s celebrate with family and friends. Let’s shout a cheery “Merry Christmas” to everyone we meet. Let’s remember our brave men and women in uniform defending us far from home. And let’s all pray for a peaceful New Year.
From our home to yours, Merry Christmas.

That was nice. I just got home after a long day of last minute shopping, sitting at the same red light for three and four light changes and spending way too much money. Was feeling pretty irritated and this made me feel better, thanks for posting, vm!
ooooohhhh. youre gonna blow our cover if you keep posting Palin stuff. “they” are gonna notice we are TeaParty Central.
Yeah. Why aren’t we covering the Jordan Weiner birth announcement instead?
I think I heard heads exploding as we speak.
Well that was fun. I just spent the past few hours at urgent care.
Diagnosis – cellulitis.
I am taking pills and going to bed.
Hopefully they told you to keep a close eye on it and to look for some improvement.The key here is that it starts improving. If it starts to get worse, make a u-turn and go back to the ER.
Ugh. How awful.
Feel better.
Yogurt might help the side-effects of antibiotics.
Yikes. Sorry to hear. But glad you got that figured out. Take your drugs and get rest. Mmm, drugs.
Not the fun kind.
Definitely not. Tell them to add more pain killers. Something to make these politics easier to take.
Hope you feel better soon.
Myiq2xu, sorry for your health problem. Got one myself. Seems every Christmas I get sick. Doc appt. tommorrow for me. Had to call her over Thanksgiving, don’t want to bother her over Christmas so I’m trying to head whatever I’ve got before it gets worse. They always say go to the emergency room. Can’t afford.
Hope you get healthy, glenn
Get better too.
Hope you both feel better. It seems like the change of weather knocks any dormant illnesses into something worse.
Feel better.
