Merry Christmas

It is amazing the lengths people will go to in order to avoid appearing religious, or politically incorrect.  I have been wearing one of those buttons from the Knights of Columbus that says 'It's OK to wish me a Merry Christmas!'  Several times in a store recently, the cashier has said, 'You're like the 4th person today with one of those buttons.  I think they are pretty cool.'

'Great', I thought.  'Next she'll wish me a Merry Christmas!'  But it never came.  So when I finished my transaction, I wished her a Merry Christmas.  To which she replied, 'You too!'  She STILL did not say the words 'Merry Christmas!'  How bizarre!

So, having just returned from the 'Mass at Night' as it is now called, I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas.  May our new-born King fill your heart with his peace, love and joy!
