As an old curmudgeon I remember that this time of year meant peace and goodwill to all. This was the time that children learned about babies born in mangers and 3 wise men offering gifts. We used to sing or listen to carols and hymns.
I’m not a Christian any more in a strict sense. I do remember hearing this sung once at midnight mass by one unaccompanied priest and I swear the hairs on my neck stood up. It still brings a lump to my throat when it is done well.

ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas Chucky. God Bless you and yours.
ReplyDeleteKev B.
It truly was A.P. I sometimes have to tell myself to stop reading into the deep meaning of things and simply enjoy beauty as it is.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kev. I hope for peace for all and the sooner the better. May angels watch over all of us.
We need to hang on to the good things, even as "they" try their best to pollute everything good and decent.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Chucky and all your readers too.
China Living Our Forefather’s Dream, Printing Their Own Money
ReplyDeleteYes that is right sports fans. It appears China is printing their own money without paying any interest on it. You know kind of like the American constitution talks about when it says only the congress has the power to create and print money. You know that used to be the case here until Lincoln, Garfield and Kennedy were murdered. Actually Andrew Jackson routed the bank and during his attempted murder both pistols did not fire. He later had ti inscribed upon his grave “I killed the bank.”
At least the Chinese are now living the American dream Perhaps they are just better than we are.
Ever look around at fellow Americans, try and discuss what is going on in their country with them? Notice is is like trying to reprogram Fox News. It doesn’t compute. Most of them only believe what they are supposed to believe. You know the little support our troops ribbons on their cars. They think people are dying to make them free. Does the old liberal vs conservative debate make you simply want to wretch? The stupider and more cowardly they are, the more they think they know.

All the best to you chuckyman!!
ReplyDeleteAnd, a prosperous snow free new year?!
Many thanks for your support Suraci. I hope you keep up the good work also as you have many supporters and admirers out here.
ReplyDeleteHi DM. I hope you have a good Christmas also. I think the Chinese describe their civilisation as having had a few bad centuries but now they’re back (grin). I still think the Rothchilds are working them like glove puppets. I hope I’m wrong.
ReplyDeleteHowdy Penny and thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteI sincerely hope the fortunes of all of humanity improve in the year ahead.
PS I’m still a fan of snow (grin).
