For your enjoyment :-)

[Desdemona]

Silent Night is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, but do you really want to hear it three times a day for a month? You reach the point where you don't enjoy it; you want to offer it up.

Absolutely true bump.

[Aristophanes]

Smokin' Joe has nailed it again.

Every year at this time I make a point of wishing everyone a Merry CHRISTmas. (And don't forget the Mass part.)

What if these people said: To Christians, Merry Christmas; to Jews, Happy Chanukah; to others, Happy Holidays.

Doesn't inclusive mean ACKNOWLEDGING DIFFERENCES? It doesn't mean: SUPPRESSING DIFFERENCES.

[Salvation]

**In short, Christmas is the season when polite people make every effort to avoid mentioning Christ. They seem to be afraid it would spoil the festive mood of our pagan holiday season. The modern world actually treats our Lord as an incongruous figure at His own birthday.**

And it will remain so. Despite efforts to squelch it.

Thanks for typing this in. I tried to find an online version after reading it at home, but couldn't and gave up.

Thanks again.

One observation this year is the (over) use of the song

Feliz Navidad

ad nausium.

.

Merry Christmas everyone!
