For those of you who aren't me…and I've noticed a surprisingly large number of people who aren't.
Oh, how I love this joyful time of the year. There are colors everywhere. There are lights on the houses, and hundreds of inflatable giant things all over people’s lawns. Although, I’m not sure what inflatable Minions and Mickey Mice with Santa hats have to do with promoting Christmas cheer. I mean when I walk …

Excuse me, but how does that great old Christmas song go? Oh yes, I remember it. It’s that time of year when the world falls… for the biggest scam of them all. We’ve done it for years, and you’d think we would learn, but we love the scam. We don’t care that we’re being scammed. …
Well the year from Hell is slowly coming to a close. We have heard all the bad news we can stand, and yet more keeps coming every day. As a concerned citizen it makes me ask a question. Should I heap, even more, bad news upon your beaten brows and get it all out of …
I would like to take a moment of silence for the forgotten holiday in the United States. I’d like to, but I forgot about it. Not really but it sounded good. The forgotten holiday is Thanksgiving. I’m not sure why the great Abraham Lincoln established a national holiday dedicated to overeating and football, but there …

I believe in Santa completely. I’ve …
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the placeDad’s annoyance was growing. He had a red face. The stockings were hung in the corner by stringOne wonders why tradition would make such a thing?The children were nestled all snug in their bedsWhile electronic visions danced in their headsWith mom in her jammies and me …
Oh, by gosh, by golly, it’s time for Mistletoe and Holly, and I think It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year. Time to get out the Oh, Tannenbaum, and set up the Jingle Bells. Let’s sit by the fire, on a Silent Night, and her stories about Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and what happens Up On the Housetop. By the way, …
I was listening to the radio last week or so and a delightful, heartwarming story came on. The host was asking folks when the Christmas season starts for them. Some said the day after Thanksgiving, others the first of December. Those in retail think it starts in early October when the lighted trees arrive and …
