Christmas Musings

Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year. I love all the little things about, right down to the shmoltzy Christmas movies. I am all about Christmas trees and decorations. Yet, as I Prepare to celebrate the birth of our Lord there are few things I need to Address.


1. Fake Christmas Trees:
For much of my life I grew up with a fake Christmas tree. Then my family had a glorious epiphany and realized how much better Real ones were.

The first real one we got was about 6 by 5-Six feet tall and five feet tall. While it did fall over, It was one of my favorite Christmas trees.

Fake trees do not capture the essence of Christmas. There is just something about treking out in the snow and cutting down your own tree. Plus, nothing beats that fresh pine scent.



2. Pink christmas Trees:

I will admit I got one for a friend for Christmas-All Be it begrudingly. Call me a traditionalist but Pink is not a Christmas color.

The nice things is that this can be kept up year round. However, pink does not say Merry Christmas-It says Hannah Montana wishes you a Merry Non-Sectarian non-denominational day Athiest kids get presents. I know that is harsh, however, that is the extent of my disdain for them.

3. Newsong The Christmas Shoes

I know I am breaking one of the cardinal rules of radio-never say a song is bad. However, this song just needs to go away. It is only promoting free loading in America. Although, the FM static version of this song is acceptable.


Now that I have griped, enjoy some Italian Christmas fun:



Merry Christmas!
