May the meaning and joy of Christmas fill your heart with peace and gladness.
I'm taking a few days off to give those I love some undivided attention. I have the luxury of doing this because on a cold night in 1776, better men than me gave up their Christmas.
Count your blessings, love your loved ones, and I hope to see you back in a few days.
Merry Christmas.

What does this Jesus shit have to do with a Pagan and secular holiday ?
ReplyDeleteMERRY CHRISTMAS, sacrilegous thief.
I was going to delete this, but you know what? Francois illustrates what he is all about and that illustration is worth sharing. He wants attention,and he has no compunctions about being a rude guest in other people's "houses". That reflects on him, not on anyone else.
ReplyDeleteI will turn the other cheek. If he wishes to make a spectacle of the hatred consuming him, so be it.
Joyeux Noël, Francois.
The greatest wish I could have for you is that some day, you will mature enough to be ashamed of your current behavior.
Merry Christmas, David, and thanks for your work on this blog- it's an essential read for me. Hope you and your family have a great holdiay.
ReplyDeleteAll the best.
Thanks for sharing your convictions and insight. I look forward to reading your blog in 2006. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteGentlemen, I say ye, David Codrea!
