Last night in my small town in Central Florida (red county) the police and fire departments drove through all the neighborhoods with Santa Claus. The speakers played Christmas carols. Santa Claus yelled “Merry Christmas, everyone!” I heard them coming, ran out and waved and thanked them. There were people on the sidewalks, old ones, young ones, all ones!

It was like a little oasis in the midst of the madness.

They’ve done it for years, maybe in your town too. Last night though was especially poignant somehow. I was wiping tears away while I walked home. I wasn’t the only one.

I think some of our tears were for people like the ones at Ole Miss...

Just had the Christmas concert at the high school here and all songs , including Jesus were proper Christmas songs.\

Old Miss stopped calling themselves rebels, tried to ban Confederate flag and now this. The board has been taken over by liberal lunatics

Yep. Scenes like that are beginning to fade, like old movies that are no longer televised. For those of us who can see what is happening, it's difficult to avoid getting tight in the throat.
