Religion

Just a week from today and it is Christmas.  I love Christmas, I love the lights, I love the snow, when we get it. I love the trees and the decorations.  I love the cards and letters. I love sharing gifts with friends and family, although I admit the shopping part is not my favorite thing.
Some of you probably started watching Christmas movies on TV right after Halloween. Some of us love the Charlie Brown Christmas Special, or even the Grinch.  Some of us love baking and cooking, some of us just love the eating part.

I don’t know about you, but just about every day I hop in the shower.  The thing is, that even though I shower every day, I always need another shower the next day.  
Some days we get sweaty and muddy, then it might take another shower to clean up at the end of a day.  But  a lot of the time it is just that life gets a little grimy from time to time.  Whether we work in an antiseptic hospital or in an office cubicle, whether we are on an assembly line or out working on a road crew, by the end of the day a little dirt has accumulated.

As long as I can remember I’ve been celebrating Thanksgiving with my family.  As a kid I remember going to my grandparents and sitting at the kids table.  I remember that Pop-Pop’s prayers always seemed way too long.
