Monday, Monday

      Okay, so I had this whole entry typed up last night to enter and my darn cable went out right as I hit save.  So what do you think happened?  Ugh.  You know, ten years ago I didn't even know what an Internet was, and now I'm so freakin addicted.  So basically I just gave up and decided you didn't need to hear my ranting anyways.  Lucky you, lol.

Got out this morning with my DH and went and did a little Christmas shopping.  Gotta take the kiddos out so they can buy for Daddy, and get some gift cards for Dirty Santa, but other than that done.  That got me to thinking.  How do you feel about the whole PC Happy Holidays thing?  Makes me just a tad bit irritated.  To me there is no holiday without remembering why we are celebrating in the first place.  So, it's Merry Christmas in my house.

My friend, Tina had a thought or two about this subject:  "Here is the way that I see it.  Being a Christian is not always PC.  There are areas in the world that being a Christian will get you imprisoned, tortured or killed.  And we as "Christians" worry about saying Merry Christmas?  I am going to say Merry Christmas to everyone I see, because my Grandfathers, Uncles and Brothers put their lives on the line for me to have the right to do so.  Even if others want to exercise their right to not do so.  I think that if someone in China, Africa, Pakistan or wherever can put their life on the line to worship Christ, then I can risk someone getting offended at my say Merry Christmas."

So what are your thoughts?

Hugs, De

Just wanted to ask if you guys would pray for Betty (lv2trnscrb).  She recently lost her mother and the funeral was today. Betty may be absent from AOL Journals, but she is still in our hearts.  Love you, Betty!
