Today we are fighting, or should be, for our right to say a simple phrase of "Merry Christmas."  Are we kidding? 

We need to ensure we maintain our heritage. What heritage is that?  one based on the great traditions and teachings of Jesus Christ.

During this time of the year it is nice to be recharged and examine what it means to be a follower of Christ. To live as He would want us to live, with peace in our hearts and love in our words and actions.

Christmas has always been a time of great cheer and to reset our "synic" clocks....if you will, that we live for good, that the world can be good, and that we need to spread the love that is Christmas...that is Jesus.

So, Merry Christmas.  I plan on saying it not as a punch line, or a line to intimidate or coerce, but in the meaning that Jesus would want it said. Now is the time for us to love each other, take care of each other, and know that we are not  "it" but HE is everything and we have but to serve Him by loving each other.

Merry Christmas, and, to coin a Phrase, "God bless us, everyone!"
