At the risk of dating myself, and coming across as some old codger…which I am quickly becoming but that’s beside the point…I have decided to point out a few things that today’s whipper-snappers would not believe.

First off…”whipper-snapper” is most definitely something an old codger would say, and not a term I have ever used outside of being snarky, and secondly, “today’s whipper-snappers” would refer to anyone  not old enough to remember the apocalypse that the world prepared for called…Y2k.

I won’t get into those clues, or into the condensing and altering of the story here, but I did write a piece on that topic in 2017, entitled Politics and The First Christmas which you can read here.

If there is such a thing as divine providence, clearly it played a most important part in the events surrounding the founding of this nation.

For those who wish to separate Christmas from the politics of the day, I am with you but, one must realize that without connecting the two, we may well not have a nation at all.

When one thinks of Christmas, the true and first Christmas, one thinks of tiny Bethlehem. That’s where it started. Bethlehem.

So too, perhaps via divine providence, is Bethlehem a key to our nation’s birth.

It’s that time of the year when visions of sugarplums start dancing in one’s head and our thoughts turn to the festive gatherings of families and friends.

Christmas…from the reason for the season, to jolly ol’ St. Nick…from the giving of gifts, to food, fun, laughter and decorating.

Christmas is a time for celebration unless, of course…

You’re a liberal.

With that in mind, allow me to provide, not so much as a set of rules, but more as a source of information…

The Liberal’s Guide to Christmas.

Here we go…
