Heh... AMEN to that.... so sad, but true.

There were some really good historical things on the lesser watched channels
tonight about the meaning for the season.
Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas, and do take the time to give God
thanks for being in a position to take part in the commercialization of the
holiday in the first place.
If you're interested in the abridged version, here is a quick history of
Christmas from the Christian standpoint. There are others (pagan rituals)
that occur at the same time and sometimes get confused as "Christmas".

And yes, it will do SSB and cover all subspace frequencies.

I long ago grew weary of the commercialism applied to Christmas.
Every year it becomes harder and harder to fined any evidence of the
true meaning of Christmas. People tell you its our "Duty" to go deeper
into debt to buy horrendous amounts of "gifts". I heard a kid tell his
mother he was going to call the state of Florida's child welfare group
and claim he was abused if she didn't buy him a very expensive toy.

I don't hear any true Christmas music. "White Christmas", "Jingle
bells" and other secular music is not Christmas music. It is simply
politically correct BS trying to mask the fact that Jesus Christ was
born.

Sorry, I don't know of any relatives in Canada. My dad's mother died
when I was little. She was the family historian, going back four or five
generations, so very little of our family history was written down. I
was born in Kentucky, and raised in SW Ohio.
