These past two months retail stores have been balancing shelf-space between Halloween costumes, Thanksgiving decorations and Christmas gift-ideas. I suspect the 'real' Christmas gift purchasing push begins 'Black Friday,' the day after we Americans overindulge in food and football. It's a good thing that we spend energies and money shopping because we would otherwise sit on our fat asses and count the days until the two really big American celebrations: News Year's Eve and the Super Bowl.
Actually, I refer to this time of year as 'The Season of The Boogieman.' This 'Boogieman' is the illusive, mythical and evil guy who wishes people 'Happy Holidays' instead of Merry Christmas because he is on a secular mission of 'taking' Christ out of Christmas. Some of the Boogeyman's family members spend their time fighting public nativity depictions while others protest against religious Carole's sung in public schools. It's a propaganda season...just watch Bill O'Rielly and Sean Hannity, two of our finest examples of tolerance and Christian teachings. These two fine men speak only the truth and will help all weak thinking folks to 'see the light.'
