Tis the Season

Ok so I saw this hilarious video on YouTube and actually posted it here, but it is rather offensive (it's called Christmas My Arse) and PG rated for sure. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with the commercialism of the season and slip into Scrooge mode...but really I do enjoy the holiday, the celebration, the cookies, and my little Christmas tree. Dare I say thinking of the birth of a babe so far away and so long ago, one who impacted the world with his life and death and resurrection, well, really that's what Christmas is all about, isn't it? Not some fat guy in a white beard who in one night breaks into every house on the planet, even if he does leave stuff rather than steal stuff. Don't you think that's kinda weird?

If you'd like to see the video, rather than post it here, you can go to it if you like. Here's the URL, just copy and paste it in your address bar.

Other than that, I do have my tree up, lights on, and fireplace going. It's cozy and warm here in paradise, quiet and comfortable. Hope you all really do have a wonderful holiday season.
