Tis the season

Or not!

Can you say shopping daze?

Gentle Reader,

Every year at this time I try to write something that you can carry through the holiday season. This year will be no different except that I want you to think about your place in the world in which you live and whether or not you have a responsibility to not only your own needs but other around you. Those at work those with whom you share common interest and what about those half way around the world. Remember my blog about the "Butterfly effect"? If not dust off my archives and reread that little gem.

What We see around us is aischrolatry {that is worship of filth, dirt, or smut } and when you play in the dirt you get dirty don't you. Remember "Pigpen" of Charlie Brown fame?

Whoa now Denis, how are you going to connect Christians , the butterfly effect,Christimas together?

Very carefully Gentle reader, the only persons who won't get my blog are those that I call infrequent visitors (those who drop in thinking this is where you get pictures of Paris Hilton.

Christians are by far (in the opinion of most non-Christians) just plain naive. Well those individuals may be right. I mean We believe in Christmas with all the trimmings, gifts, good will and some Christians even believe in trying to carry over that good will, you are trying to cram into 30 days, throughout the year. But it's hard Gentle Reader, when we are deluged every day buy the worship of Aischrolatry, as well as autolatry { self-worship} Ever heard of the "Me Generation"?

The intelligent person (can you say christian) will tell you that December 25 is not the Birth of Christ {who Christians call the Son of The Most High God}. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called WONDERFUL, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. {Isaiah 9} However if for one season we can be a little kinder to not only family but friends and dare I say Strangers? Then all the better. So for now lets all just bask in the glow of the season and wish every one Merry Christmas, happy holidays, or happy Chanukkah festival of lights. whatever your chosen belief system and be kind to one another... Try it you may grow to like that feeling.

Well maybe just for a (as you say a wee bit) I'll try to be kind but just to get you off my back Denis!

To be continued...
