I find the sheer volume of kindred spirits to be reassuring, this is good for the country I love.<br /><br />You know I'm agnostic. That doesn't stop me from honoring Judeo-Christian values and traditions, which are the bedrock of this nation.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10997257.post-35707551330696113292010-12-21T11:14:34.712-06:002010-12-21T11:14:34.712-06:00Awesome post Lou!

Such beautiful pictures and illustrations of Old and New Testament stories. I saw things I missed the first time around. We read the books to our boys when they were young. Now I wonder how or if they will do the last books in the CS Lewis series.joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11456465195258073699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10997257.post-39007603591333006422010-12-21T08:35:44.765-06:002010-12-21T08:35:44.765-06:00Outstanding post!

From all-out hook line and sinker celebrating...to "don't need that pagan junk"...to understanding the whole thing much as you do.<br /><br />Now we celebrate like he want to. Sometimes with some decorations. Always with a gift for each of the boys...but something simple (read cheap).<br /><br />Pam and I rarely gift each other, but I am buying her an iPod, because she's taken up bicycling for exercise, and wants one.<br /><br />Well said!<br /><br />Merry Christmas!Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945901944078164054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10997257.post-33848644801398986732010-12-21T08:14:51.371-06:002010-12-21T08:14:51.371-06:00Thanks Lou.

I pretty feel the same and don't understand why it is that so many people have a hard time with me NOT doing the whole Christmas thing. It's basically just turned in to a commercial feeding frenzy instead of what it started out to be.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03989290418471519434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10997257.post-25516662663319461662010-12-21T08:05:17.226-06:002010-12-21T08:05:17.226-06:00Excellent post, Lou!

I think Christmas has became just another commercial event; too much worrying goes on about what to buy one another than why there is even a CHRISTmas Day in the first place. <br /><br />Another thing I find interesting is that so many people don't want to call the holiday "Christmas" because it might offend somebody, but those same people have no misgivings about having the time off work because its Christmas. Know what I mean? If you don't believe in the Christian holiday, then don't use it as an excuse to celebrate. And I won't use Ramadaan or whatever. :)Stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09853546274996763802noreply@blogger.com
