WE (Blog) wish you a merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all you bloggers. Thanks again for your contributions to this blog and for your interest in politics and public policy. Special blessings on those of you who also gave your time and money to area charities this year. And comfort to those who are dealing with sickness, loss or who are separated from loved ones this holiday, particular those serving in the military overseas. May this day be merry and bright.

    Merry Christmas to all and I hope next year is so boring that we end up talking about the weather.

    Merry Christmas to the staff at the Eagle. I echo writerdog’s wishes for a boring and bloodless 2007 - today is a day when we should at least hope. By the way, thank you for running the column today about Christmas Eve at the end of WWII. It was a wonderful piece of history and a timeless message.

    Merry Christmas, folks.

    Here is my favorite Christmas song, Stevie Wonder’s version of “Someday at Christmas.”

    God bless, y’all.

    ***********************************

    “Someday at Christmas men won’t be boysPlaying with bombs like kids play with toysOne warm December our hearts will seeA world where men are free

    Someday at Christmas there’ll be no warsWhen we have learned what Christmas is forWhen we have found what life’s really worthThere’ll be peace on earth

    Someday all our dreams will come to beSomeday in a world where men are freeMaybe not in time for you and meBut someday at Christmastime

    Someday at Christmas we’ll see a ManNo hungry children, no empty handOne happy morning people will shareOur world where people care

    Someday at Christmas there’ll be no tearsAll men are equal and no men have fearsOne shining moment my heart ran awayFrom our world today

    Someday all our dreams will come to beSomeday in a world where men are freeMaybe not in time for you and meBut someday at Christmastime

    Someday at Christmas man will not failTake hope because Your love will prevailSomeday a new world that we can startWith hope in every heart

    Someday all our dreams will come to beSomeday in a world where men are freeMaybe not in time for you and meBut someday at ChristmastimeSomeday at Christmastime.”

    Merry Christmas to all. Traditional MidNight Mass last night with the family. Boys fell asleep, no real surprise there. Heard from their daddy that Santa was good to them. Will have them here for dinner again this evening.

    FAMILY. The REAL key to a Merry Christmas.

    ksfarmgrrl,

    I see your DU posting about our present and future, and I raise you one catastrophic, dystopic view of our revised future in which everything turns out…fine. Beautiful, even.

    Ben,

    With 3 of 4 of my kids grown and gone (2 married with kids of their own & 1 engaged), Christmas takes some fancy choreography. They started their morning with Santa, then we all got together for brunch and gift exchange (including my 84-year-old mother), and those of us who aren’t expected elsewhere will be together for dinner later tonight.

    So glad you were able to share the joy with the little ones!

    Now for the shock: while I did see a cop at Mass last night he was getting communion. He didn’t arrest us all. So much for the “war on Christmas”!

    In his note he asked me to email to Santa, my son expressed his wish that all people everywhere have a merry Christmas.

    I could not be more proud.

    And so on behalf of myself and my son? Here is hoping that we all carry the spirit of this day in our hearts all the year through.
