Ok, so I'm a loser!!!
Yes, I'm horrible at blogging it appears. Pretty much the same way I've always been with diaries as well.
So, what is on my mind? Right now I'm so over the constant bickering in the local Christian community over people "taking their rights away." Last I checked they still has the freedom to chose what religion they wish to follow, what church they go to, what holidays they celebrate, how they can decorate their home, what cards they wish to mail out, what bumper stickers they want to put on their car, what tshirts they wish to wear with whatever sayings they desire --- sounds pretty "free" to me. Doesn't it? So why the craziness over saying "Happy Holidays" over "Merry Christmas?" It just gets them going over and over again... and then you start hearing things like, "Oh the NONBELIEVERS are just taking over, they are taking our rights away, they are taking Christ away from all of us" and "yadda, yadda, yadda, blah, blah, blah." :::: sigh :::: I'm really over it all. It makes me just want to say "FRIG IT ALL! BAH-HUMBUG!" and cover up with a quilt and hibernate for the winter.
I don't know where this is all going in our country, this constant fight between the Christian right, and the rest of "us" -- especially we "non-believers". I fear what the future of our country will be in the next 20-40 years. What will it be like for my child, for all of our children? I just don't know.
So, I sit here in my living room, a non-Christian, with all of my "Christmas" (Yule really) decorations up, including our tree and such -- believing in my heart of hearts that all this hoopla over saying " Happy holidays" or "Merry Christmas" completely misses the point of Spirit, the Gods, the Ancestors -- and the fact that we are all interconnected, and "in this" (meaning life on earth) together -- pondering what will come next in this cold winter time.
... maybe something yummy like "Abuelita's" hot chocolate. Hey, I'm a dreamer after all.
