Where has Christmas Really Gone

You see all the lights and the decorations, but where has Christmas really gone?  We sometimes forget the real reason for Christmas and just concentrate on the needs of our family and friends. Some of us go to Church on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day and complain on how crowded it is and some of us don’t.

 Christmas seems to be forever in danger of being lost by all the bustle and promotion of the season. We wonder have I spent enough on that person, are they going to like my gift? Kids ask us is that all? Come January we look at all the credit card statements and wonder where we are going to get the money to pay for it.

 Ever wonder about an “Old Fashion Christmas”?  Its all about family and friends getting together for the Holiday and celebrating life. The tree is real, because it was cut in the woods. The decorations are strung of popcorn and cranberries. All the gifts are special because they are home made and come from the heart. The meal is cooked and not catered. The desserts are baked and not bought. There is laughter and not fighting. It will be something to remember, but alas that also seems to be lost.

Maybe Next year I keep saying.

Merry Christmas vs Happy Holidays

I don’t know about you, but I would really like to be greeted with Merry Christmas instead of Happy Holidays. The only way I feel Happy Holidays is appropriate is when you are not going to see someone for both the Christmas and New Year holidays.

Holiday shoppers, as they have for several years, would prefer to be greeted with signs reading “Merry Christmas” rather than “Happy Holidays” this season.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of American Adults shows that 70% prefer that stores use signs that say “Merry Christmas.”

So with that being said – Have a Very Merry Christmas!

Prayer for Our Troops

“Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need.

Around the Holidays our troops and their families especially need your prayers.

God Bless our Troops and their families.

Who’s The Best?

A Soldier, a Sailor, an Airman and a Marine got into an argument about which service is “The Best.” The arguing became so heated, that they eventually ended up killing each other. Soon, they found themselves at the Pearly Gates of Heaven. They meet St Peter and decide that only he would be the ultimate source of truth and honesty, so they ask him:

“St. Peter, which branch of the American Armed Forces is the best?” St. Peter instantly replies: “I can’t answer that. But, I will ask God what he thinks the next time I see him.”

Some time later the four warriors see St. Peter again and remind him of the question and ask if he was able to find the answer. Suddenly, a sparkling white dove lands on St. Peter’s shoulder. In the dove’s beak is a note with glistening gold dust. St. Peter says to the four men,

“Your answer from the Boss… Let’s see what he says.” St Peter opens the note, trumpets blare, gold dust drifts into the air, harps play crescendos and St Peter begins to read it aloud to the four young men:

MEMORANDUM TO SOLDIERS, SEAMEN, MARINES, AND AIRMEN

SUBJECT: Which Military Service Is The Best?

“Gentlemen, all the Branches of the Armed Services are ‘Honorable and Noble.’ Each of you serves your country well and with distinction. Being a member of the American Armed Forces represents a special calling warranting special respect, tribute, and dedication. Be proud of that.”

Very Respectfully,

GOD, Chief, USN (Ret.)
