I love it that Christmas is in the middle of the week this year. It makes every thing stop. It nearly makes Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday meaningless.
Right? Tuesday is Christmas Eve. I am invited to a cousin's this year that begins their holiday at 12:00 noon on Christmas Eve in preparation of everyone else coming to the house by 3:00 PM for dinner. Then the dinner is finished and they all sit around the tree exchanging Christmas Eve gifts and singing carols while the piano plays. I mean mistletoe in the door between the living room and the rest of the house. This is the cousin that has hey rides on Halloween so all the neighbor children have a safe and fun time.
Right? To the hilt.
I sincerely believe the political dialogue in the country hurts this nation more than it helps. So, for now. Right now. I believe stepping back from the dialogue is more important than you have idea, because, a season of love should be enlightening and a time of rebirth and renewal. That can't happen if the old ghosts still walk the haunts of our minds.
Good night.
