"Merry Christmas" is back!!


check this story out!

i have to say that i catch myself often making
the correction to "happy holidays" and i have to
say that i hate that!

recently, with a friend i went on a little rant
about what's going on with this country and so
i think i'll share it.

first, i am a loving, giving, God fearing, tolerant
person...that said, i don't let most things get to me.
however, i related this country to marriage recently
and it goes a little something like this...
when did things go south?
when did americans become the 2nd class citizens
in their own country?
when did persons get to request their nation's
food items be added to an american thankgiving
meal at a homeless shelter?
i could go on...
well, what concerns me is that those that have
"dreamed" of coming to america to live the "dream"
are now creating a nightmare.
here's what i see happening;
you want to come here because it beats the heck
out of what you had where you came from...that's fine.
but now you want things to change to suit your needs.
(this is what i see as a conflict)
soon we will be the nation that no one wants due
to the fact that so many changes have been
implemented that we don't even recognize ourselves
as the "free" nation that we once were!

like the marriage where the woman spends years
making all the needed changes to her husband only
to realize one day, that he is not the man she
married....hmmmm. are ya with me??
wheeeeew. see what i mean?

i'm sorry if i've offended anyone, it's just that
i love my country. i loved it more the way it
was. if you celebrate Hanuka, i'll wish you a
happy Hanuka...I have a calendar. if you celebrate
Kwanza (which by the way does not show up in spell
check), i'll wish you a happy Kwanza.
But please let me have my Christmas back!

After all, it's Jesus Christ's birthday. :)

That is what is beautiful about our country free speech...you have to take the good with the bad. Let them ask all they want...kid's ask for lot's of stuff but we don't give it to them.

I wish you could be Abbey's date Saturday we would have SOOOO much fun.
