Today, Lib and I went to her family Christmas. When we pulled up to her uncle's house, the "Keep Christ in Chrismas" sign in their front yard was half covered in snow, and I was thinking to myself that it was a nice sentiment if you wanted to make sure that "the reason for the season" was not forgotten in all the colored lights and materialism, but did it really warrant a posted sign that looked more like an election campaign? Were we voting somewhere to keep Christ in Christmas or was it an anonymous ballot in each of our hearts? But that is not the issue--as we walked in the house, the nativity scene in front was covered in eighteen inches of snow, and only poor Joseph's head was left peering out above the snow while Mary, yes Mary, the second greatest mother of all time (love you, mom--#1), and Jesus himself were burried under the snow. Now, if you're going to post that sign, if you really want to keep Christ in Christmas, then the first thing you have to do when it snows is dig his divine little butt out.
my family hates you too. regardless of christ's influence on them.
ReplyDeleteyou are hilarious and I love reading your blog, however it is a bit scary to actually know what is going on inside that brain at all times:) I often wondered, but rarely knew. So - you coming to Sidney for the holidays? If so, look up the Neus!
