Merry Christmas!!!

I hope that everyone is as happy as I am today. I am surrounded by most of my children, and everything I hold near and dear is within an arm's length of me. I hope that you are surrounded by the people you love and care about, and that every thing you wish for is available. I also hope for peace and prosperity to fall upon everyone what the heck-we've earned it!! I hate when some one wishes me "Happy Holidays." I always reply with a Merry Christmas to them. It's almost as though they are afraid of offending someone by wishing them a Merry Christmas. If Christmas isn't your thing- just let me know- I'll be more than Happy to wish you a Merry whatever it is you celebrate! I don't understand some Walmarts that have even discouraged associates from wishing customers a Merry Christmas. Do they understand that having the associates wish every one Happy Holidays can be offensive to the diehards looking to be offended? Holiday is simply a shortened way of saying Holy Day or hadn't they noticed? I think the majority of the population is some form of Christian-whatever happened to the majority rules? Again-if you celebrate something else-just tell me what it is, I'll be happy to wish you a merry one of those. The thing that confuses me is when the ACLU has to get involved. What is that about? I'll tell you a little story about those wankers at the ACLU. A friend of mine was arrested for something she didn't do. The police in the town she was in made up the majority of the police report because her husband rolls odometers for them. When she was falsely arrested and spent a night in jail, she contacted the ACLU to see if they would help her. The representative for the ACLU said "the problem is, you are white and this happened in a predominantly white town. The cop that did it was white, there is nothing there to generate publicity for us. We only take cases that will generate the maximum amount of publicity for us so that we can generate the most fund raising from that. Sorry..." At least they should print that on their letterhead so you know it going in. "Caucasian need not apply for help" doesn't seem like a very catchy motto for them does it. Honest, yes, just not catchy. But I digress. Merry Christmas to every one that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ and Happy Holidays to whoever celebrates anything else. And thank you to the people who come in and read this every day. God bless you all. Now go spend the day with your loved ones, you'll thank me later!
