"Christmas"..the time when I spend days and days errecting lights and
decorations just for that wealth of seeing a few kid's faces light 
up when they see them. The time when I can point out tom my own 
kids just how rediculous business can make a joyful time appear. Time
for me (us?) to examine our roots and discover the bonds between us
and our heritage and relatives that has been erroded away during a year
of doing battle against the system. A time to look at where I am and
decide if I want to change course or keep straight ahaead. A time to
sit back and be thankful (just thankful, not necessarily towards any
religious symbol), just thankful for my kids, my health and my whole
family. Sure, business has taken a religious holiday and made it a sales
event, but they haven't taken away the REAL things that come from the
holiday...and they have only the religious extent that each of us
individually give it. 
  
As my roof lights scroll..."PEACE ON EARTH".....let's hope so.
