Christmas Eve

A friend of mine recently said, “I feel so sorry for atheists.  They don’t have many holidays.”  I explained to him that he shouldn’t worry.  I celebrate them all.  Kwanza, Hanukkah, Eids, Festivus--what’s not to like.  Besides, the message of Christmas is a good one.  Peace on earth, good will to men and women.  
To me, Christmas is a secular holiday.  I don’t worry about keeping Christ in Christmas, although I do have some concern about keeping Christ in Christians.  In the meantime, happy holidays to all of you, no matter what your persuasion.

  1. Marie and I missed you and Linda at Church last night.
    Thought that you might be there. You would have enjoyed the service and songs.
