I apologize to all my readers out there (all 2 of you) for the delay in posts, but I was on holiday in not-so-sunny California where it has become quite cold and even snowed at my parents house. Anyways, its good to be back in suprisingly-cold Arizona, and it's fun to type with hyphens! Let's have 3 cheers for thanksgiving as it continues to press on as the least commercialized holiday. The only constant blemish on it's record is that people are still being taught that the Pilgrims and the Indians ate together. Come on now people! That's all folklore they taught us in grade school. Maybe a few on each side formed some sort of bond, but do you really think a group like the Pilgrims would befriend a race of people that they would most certainly deem ungodly? Thanksgiving actually starts with good ol' Abe Lincoln who christened the last Thursday of November as the day that we should get together with our loved ones and give thanks to the Creator. Go Abe!!! Now on to Christmas for which I love and hate at the same time. I love it because it's a time to celebrate the birth of the Savior (which actually probably happened in April) and another time to be with family. Unfortunately, it has become a capitalist's dream as we strive each and every year to accumulate crap we don't really need. Cheers...
