The last couple of months have turned out to be quite busy in this neck of the woods. Some of the kids are gearing up for the play they are in on Monday (Frosty). We are looking forward to our upcoming school fair. And as one might expect, getting ready for the Christmas season. Which brings me to my topic of discussion, or rather, rant.
I don't like to watch the news. I get what important info I need from my husband and my local newspaper. Therefore, I did not hear the stories about our president wanting to take Christ out of Christmas. I hear he wants to call the white house tree a"holiday" tree. WHAT!! I thought the whole reason for the season was in fact Christ. It's His birthday celebration. I do not know the details about this, but it makes me sad. So as I was driving in Morgan City, a town across the river from me, I noticed the very large "Merry Christmas" banner hanging over the bridge. I am so happy that I still live somewhere where He is still king.
So to all of you out there, Catholic and not, MERYY CHRISTmas!!!!! Go have your St. Nicholas parties, enjoy decorating your Jesse trees, light your Advent wreaths, have a great birthday celebration of our Lord incarnate!!!!

I love that Christmas banner hanging before you cross the bridge....and what I love even more is how long the word "Christ" hung up after Christmas was over. It was almost like a welcome sign hanging there for when Christ comes back.
ReplyDeleteMy girls attend a Christian Dance School in Houma, and one of the songs they dance to is "His Banner Over Me is Love" They sung that song every time they drive the bridge, and His banner hung over them.
