There has been a dark cloud over hovering Boston, New England and I know in my heart all the way to Mesa AZ. The reason being that Johnny Damon, the sweetheart of the Boston Red Sox has signed with our arch rival New York Yankees. The prize for Damon is a four-year sweet deal of $52 million. For that he will cut his flowing hair and start wearing pin stripes. He sold us out. Yes, Johnny be gone. And the Sox are in trouble. He will be missed.
There is a problem with the FTP Space , so I am not able to put in a lovely Christmas picture. Just picture one in your mind as you read this.
I don't often haul myself up on a soapbox, but I'm up there now and here goes.
I'm tired of hearing "Happy Holiday." What is wrong with a simple "Merry Christmas"? Bob went to Safeway yesterday to pick up some groceries that we needed. While greeting the check out person, he said "Merry Christmas" and they replied "Happy Holiday." OK, one person's thought, but on the way out, another employee said "Have a nice day" to Bob and he answered "Merry Christmas." To this he got a "Happy Holiday." It seemed they had been told by management to use these words.
Last Sunday's sermon at church was just about this issue. The priest ended up suggesting to us all to take our grocery business to Basha Market as they were not afraid to play religious Christmas songs as well as humorous Christmas. We smiled at the time hearing this. But you know as this week went on, we decided to wake up and speak up.
Polls show that 96 percent of Americans celebrate Christmas, and to most of us, it is our most sacred holiday. So let's stand up together and fight back. Wish everyone a Merry Christmas and flood the ACLU with Christmas cards. See yesterday entry for address. Come on now, only cost you 37 cents and two minutes of your time. Don't let anyone take your Christ out of Christmas.
Love to all. I'll step down now. Thanks, and by the way....if nobody has told you yet: "Merry Christmas!"

Sorry I have not been updating, but I have a good excuse.
We had a computer problem. Really! Our DVD-CD ROM driver just disappeared. Some little thief in the night sneak in our motor home and must have taken it. I questioned all the neighbors and of course they all pleaded innocent. The thief even took the icon.
Well it took a few trying days to find out that it had become corrupt and needed to be installed with the start up CD, but here's the catch, the CD won't work without a driver. So we had to take it to the local computer shop, "Serving On-Line Seniors" and within 48 hours, we were back on line, for a reasonable fee.
Here's a link to my favorite Advent calendar. I thimk you will enjoy it.
