Just Checking In

Christmas was very enjoyable, and I hope that it was for all of you as well! New Years should also be enjoyable, but then it's back to work - yes, I am on vacation, which is why I'm not around much.

I don't make "resolutions" - I just try to do better than I did last year. That's enough for me. What about you?

Send a soldier a Card

Go to this web site, www.LetsSayThanks.com, pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving overseas.

Although you can’t select who receives the card, it goes to a member of the armed services.
How wonderful would it be if we could get everyone we know to send one? It is FREE and it only takes a second.

Happy ???????

Beware - politically incorrect rant ahead.

I went to the hairdresser's last night. I brought a small gift, since I won't see her again until after the holidays. She proceeds to tell me how her boss got everyone together and told them they could not say Merry Christmas. Only Happy Holidays was acceptable.

I'm all for treating everyone fairly, and being aware of others traditions and beliefs. So where did MY right disappear?

I don't expect my Jewish friends to say Happy Holidays instead of Happy Hannukah. I don't expect my African-America friends to say Happy Holidays instead of Happy Kwanza. So how come I can't say Merry Christmas without being politically incorrect?

Christmas is part of MY heritage. And I don't care how incorrect it seems -

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!
