Merry Christmas; one and all!

Merry Christmas; one and all!




Well another Christmas is upon us kids dreaming of Santa, and adults thinking the close of yet another year. This year wasn't a bad year, and wasn't a great year ether, but I'm not here to review 2010, that will come in a few days. I'm here to throw out some thoughts of Christmas. There has been a lot of talk about this in the media as of late. About this whole notion of Merry Christmas vs Happy Holidays its BS I tell you. Cooked up by right wing and left wing pundits. To make talking points on Meet the Press, no one cares if you say Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas in the real world.
So this Christmas I set out on a mission to say Merry Christmas to everyone, from the person at Wal-mart (the great evil) to everyone at work, no Happy Holiday or Season Greeting. Merry Christmas and look them in the eye and say with meaning. Not one person say anything mean back to like you mean Happy Holiday or bah bah bah.... All would look at me and smile back and say Merry Christmas. It was true so were a little taken back, the smile would come out and Merry Christmas would come back to me. I was touched by this, they seemed to like hearing that, weren't piss off or what did you say to me!
My wife and I went to downtown Chicago to "Christkindl Market" in Daley Center. The woman that helped me with putting money on my CTA card. I said Merry Christmas her and I got a big smile back and a return a strong Merry Christmas sir ,and a Happy New Year!
So see all is not lost and I do not believe there is a war on Christmas, I believe that there are media people out there who are trying to make this in too something its not. And with that I would like to say, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" one and all.
May this be one of your best Christmas's ever.
I know that tons of people are out of work, and cash isn't what it once was, Christ is of the heart and no one can take matters of the heart away from anyone. As much as they would like, so if you believe in Santa, or the baby Jesus. Or any other of thing on this holiday. Its all Christmas, and its in the heart and not in what is said.
