Christmas Time is Here Again!

Well now that the Turkey has been eaten, and we again celebrated stealing the land from the Native Americans. It's time to move on to my favorite holiday of the year, Christmas. Every year I battle, mentally not physically, the people who are too afraid state why they have this beloved time of year off. It is called CHRISTmas for a reason, not the "winter holiday".

Now I am all for supporting whoever you want to support or not support, but the reason for this holiday is because it was when Christ was born. I am not going to go off on a religous tangent, you guys are smart enough to believe whatever you choose to believe, all I am asking is recognition as to why we celebrate this time of year. You may not like Christianity, you might not celebrate it, but you definitely do enjoy your time off from work, or all the presents. If you are Jewish I'm sorry about the present thing, I did not create the rules.

If you do not celebrate this time of year, that is fine too. I am not someone to tell people what to do. I had a close friend in High School that did not celebrate it because of his religous beliefs, I did not judge him or his family. However he did enjoy the time off from school!

I am done ranting now and I will not bring this up again until next Christmas season. For those of you who celebrate it, do it for the right reasons. Not gifts of money, though they are nice, but for the time you get to spend with family and friends. That is the best gift of all. For those of you that do not celebrate the holiday, may you have a happy season anyways and I hope it is good for you and your family as well.

As that late great Crooner Bing Crosby would say, "Merry Christmas Everybody"!
