See that little guy down at the bottom? As you know, that's "The Thinker". But he doesn't have his hand under his chin like he is supposed to.
He is looking up at the Christmas Star.
For the many years that I have been using him, he has assumed this position in December.
As you may have guessed, at my house we celebrate Christmas. And I really don't know why some folks are trying to get me to do otherwise. People everywhere have their special holidays, and I'm not trying to get them to change the name of their celebrations.
Quite frankly, I wish I could convince them all to join me in celebrating Christmas - the real Christmas. I have good friends of many convictions that I would like to bump into up in heaven some day.
For all my life I have appreciated - and even fought for - the great freedoms we have. I have even mailed a Christmas card to the ACLU - just to remind them that I have the freedom to do so.
I'm hoping that each of you enjoy Christmas in your own way, and of course, I hope that you will also remember why we are celebrating. That's a part of our freedom.
And my "Holiday" wish - Peace on Earth and .....Merry Christmas.
