What happened to the real Christmas?

What ever happened to the “Partridge in a Pear Tree”?? As a youngster, we always used to sing “The Twelve days of Christmas” at this time of year as a Christmas season carol, and we celebrated it from December 25 until January 6.

Nowadays it seems that we “celebrate” Christmas (or the so-called purpose of it) beginning sometime around Thanksgiving – when all the sales begin, and Christmas trees appear on corner lots – (and artificial ones in cardboard boxes).

Then, on December 26th, when the REAL Christmas season begins, they all disappear, and what folks received as gifts go back to the store to be exchanged for what they wanted to begin with!

Respectfully, but somewhat saddened,

Rev. (Fr.) E. A. Thompson

Michele Fiore is upset that the taxpayers are no longer paying her not to work as a Pahrump justice of the peace. She has only herself to blame.

The most dangerous lies are the lies we tell ourselves and all the ways we look to justify them.

I am happy that the election campaigning is over, but most of all the absence of political ads from both parties, blatantly lying about their opponents.
