Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, from all of us at Shadespinner.
May there be peace on earth, good will towards all.
It is my hope that the light of this season follows you and your communities throughout the new year.

Good fortune go with each and every one of you.

Alright, this just doesn't make sense. . . .

I have been reading up on this, and even after all the research, this still sounds weird to me.
There are these things that have popped up in Cary. They look like Christmas trees, they act like Christmas trees, but they are not called Christmas trees. That's right, in Cary's town hall you have your glorious Community trees. Wait, what? *checks script* That cannot be right. . . Political correctness is behind this, as you've probably already guessed, and the trees have sparked quite the debate. Some say, that this is political correctness gone way too far, and that, as they always have, the trees should be called Christmas trees, and that they should place symbols from other religions near the trees. Others say that there is nothing wrong with having a community tree and that people should just leave it alone. And of course, there are those who say that there should be no trees, no symbols, nothing. The last one probably would be the most politically correct, I personally agree with the first argument.
What is your view on this "critically important" issue.

Hopefully some sanity.

Yes, this is what I call a regularly updating schedule, I'm sorry.
Are the holidays sneaking up too quickly on anyone else or am I the only one?
Hanukkah is in full swing, Christmas, Kwanza, the Winter Soltiace and New Years are not far away.
My family celebrates Christmas, and, like last year, people are ignoring my wishes. The one thing that really drives me crazy about my entire family is they refuse to see reason on that one point. When I say "I don't want anything for Christmas", that is exactly what I mean. It's not that I don't like presents, I love giving and receiving small and/or practical ones, it's just the fact that I think there are better purposes for the money that they spend.

But I am not here to complain. I have more important updates to get to.
I have decided, that what this blog needs more than anything else, is some sanity. And a lot of it. So that is what I plan on supplying.
All right, all right, you can stop laughing now, I am capable of being relatively sane. I survived November, didn't I?
And as my first order of business, I would like to thank you, all of you, for being brilliant and also, for putting up with me. It means a lot to me.

My second order of business is . . . . . . coming up in a later post.

G'bye.
