Merry or Happy






OK, I too was surprised and annoyed by "newsworthy" flap over the expression of "Happy Holiday" as somehow anti-Christmas, anti-Christian. Well, if demonstrating tolerance / appreciation of our diversity of beliefs and showing respect for our fellow good people is somehow anti-Christian, count me in.
This strikes me as just another example, albeit small, of a pervasion of evil. Yes, evil, as in the form of intolerance (there must be a biblical equivalent for this term), with the smell of fear and threat of hatred. If goodness is most closely embodied in love, how does this demonstrate love?

Enough. It's a beautiful winter night here, I just returned from a brief but solid visit with my son and I am looking forward to most of the human contact of the coming days. I hope you do as well.
