Christmas is for everyone

We have our local citgo. It's the place I go almost every day for some thing. I know them well enough that if I'm short changed for something I'm buying they will just give it to me and tell me not to worry. Our community is small so we all seem to know each other. I make it a point to acknowledge their Muslim holidays. I decided to get my 3 citgo friends a Christmas present. I walked down to citgo yesterday afternoon with my grandchildren to deliver their gifts. Omg they were so excited. One young man jumped over the counter to hug me. It was so wonderful for me to see how happy they were. I have no political point to make. Merry Christmas to all it's a time for giving

And you are so right, that's what Christmas really is all about - no matter where you come from or what you believe, it's the season for giving and you sure set a wonderful example!

the Christmas tree is a pagan symbol. Then again, probably not. They don't seem to realize much of anything. Sheep are like that.

As the tree is part of the pagan inheritance of the Holiday! What next, no Easter Bunny for you, either!

And that friends is what this country is all about.

Could this be why we are all democrats? We know the true meaning of sharing and love of one another.

Merry Christmas to all of you. May your New Year be full of good health and blessings.

We will prevail.
