A DT Christmas

Years ago though. We don’t live here anymore

and we have cats now so no Christmas trees.
I’m not a church-goer; I don’t consider myself “Christian”, mostly because I find the corporate structure of churches somewhat nauseating with middle management (preachers) not trustworthy. And a few other reasons I need not go into here. But I will acknowledge “something” is there.
However, tonight will find me in a church … out of respect for some friends – and for the purpose of maintaining contact with others having similar feelings of our nation.
Stolen from Kim Du Toit of “Splendid Isolation”
“allow me to remind you that while religion itself has little interest for me, I am absolutely firm in my support for the Judeo-Christian culture and heritage.
And I am even more supportive when I consider the alternatives of atheistic totalitarianism (i.e. Communists) and, even worse, radical Islamism. They both suck big time, without reservation.“
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Very nice. I didn’t know you were familiar with Kim. His is the 2nd blog I visit every day.
We’ve had cats along our 40+ year journey and our fake, almost 40 year old , Christmas tree has managed to survive them, but our “Big Ol’ Gurl”, Caramel (now gone) tried her best to kill it. More than a few times she’d hoist her 22 pound self 2/3 of the way up in that tree before it toppled.
Little bit of duct tape and a piece of bailing wire and it was good as new again, and though temporarily scared, Caramel would dust herself off and plot her next move.
There’s a handfull of blogs I visit daily. It’s one of the reasons I don’t do too many current events; someone else has already said the same things – I’d feel like a parrot. I do see your fingers in several of the same pies … 🙂
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Words and photos.
Merry Christmas.

Heading for Lisbon Portugal presently at 6:30pm EST
That’s very cool. Almost hypnotizing. He was over Wisconsin a few minutes ago. Over 6 billion presents delivered.
@ 6am the job has been completed sometime over night.
Looks like he touched down at Santa Fe but it doesn’t say when.
That had to be a quick visit because there’s so few that deserve anything here. But Santa KNOWS who’s good or bad, so be good for goodness sake. A Merry Christmas to you and yours, my fine dude.
