This being the 3rd of December, means there's only 22 shopping days till Christmas.
For some reason, this year, this season is not as joyous as seasons of years gone by, maybe the reason is that more of our jobs are being outsource to other countries.
In fact a candy producer associated with Christmas, Hershey is moving over 3,000 jobs to Mexico.
Seeing that I'm now living in Pennsylvania, those are jobs that are going to be missed by the State.
Coupled with all that is the war in Iraq and its drain on our economy, the national debt keeps growing, now every man, women and child part of the debt is over $30,000, and it growing more by the minute.
Well, at my age, I won't be paying much if the national life expectany is 71.
I'm four years away from 71, than life might throwing me a curve, and I will live a few years past 71.
With that said,
I will now extend my Christmas greetins to all who lurk here;
"We seem too busy everyday
To say the things we want to say;
Our deepest thoughts we seem to hide,
Until we reach the Christmas-tide
'Tis then we send to friends again
Happy words in the Old Refrain-
'A Very Merry Christmas'"
(U.S.A sentiment, 1920's)
"Never a Christmas morning,
Never the Old Year ends,
But somebody thinks of somebody,
Old days, old times, old friends!"
(U.S.A 1920's)
A Christmas Prayer
Loving Father, help us remember the birth of Jesus,
that we may share in the song of the angels, the gladness
of the shepherds, and the worship of the wise men.
Let kindness come with every gift, and good
desires with every greeting. Deliver us from evil
by the blessings which Christ brings, and teach
us to be merry with clear hearts.Amen
~ Robert Louis Stevenson ~
We Wish You A Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
And a Happy New Year.
Semper Fidelis
