Christmas is Real

Our family is in Camp Arnes for Christmas. I'm at home working each morning which sucks, but that's the life I've chosen. Mom is very thank-ful for each day we have with her over Christmas. We left last night and the party will go on till Thursday noonish. I've been struggling of late with words and thoughts to express(which explains the Charlie thing) but I've decided that during Christmas with all the crap I hear on talk radio most of the time, it's time to respond, and for us to stop being weenies about our faith and step up with our purpose in life. It's the 23rd and all I've heard is debates about the corporate world taking Christmas out of the holidays. "Happy Holidays" greeting cards are everywhere, and most of us don't even realize what's happening. "Merry Ho Ho" Wow! That really warms the heart! Let's not forget the gay/lesbian debate and the definition of marriage. SantaClaus and weight watchers. That's right let's take Christ out of Christmas and call it XMas. What does that mean? Kind of like My Xwife and I?
Have some guts Dale, and put the "Christ" back into Christmas. Stand up for what's right. Support fellow Christians and stop winning about poor me. The world really needs God's love, and it's up to us to give them that.
May God's love shine in your home this season and Bless you in the new year!
