Today was a sort of busy day.\u00a0 Family matters and also, I got a couple of thousand words done for my book.\u00a0 So, the day was over quickly.\u00a0 I read through the news and didn\u2019t see anything compelling to rant about.\u00a0 I watched \u201cThe Holly and the Ivy\u201d tonight and that got me back in the spirit of the season but it was late and with the sun gone so early this close to the Winter Solstice I find my energy fails earlier.\u00a0 So here I am pondering weak and weary upon a midnight dreary.\u00a0 It seems very quiet tonight.\u00a0 Possibly that\u2019s just my own stillness but I still want to puzzle out something about the day.<\/p>\n
I think what I\u2019m sensing is the contrast between the sacred and the profane.\u00a0 But maybe it would be better saying good and evil.\u00a0 I\u2019m thinking about all the positive, life-affirming things tied up with Christmas.\u00a0 Family, benevolence toward your fellow man, celebration, community and a sense of the holiness of the season.\u00a0 And then I think about Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, \u201cThe Squad,\u201d the awful people in the media, George Soros, all the monsters in the FBI and the Justice Department, the psychopaths in Antifa and BLM.\u00a0 The idea that these people can exist in the same society that honors Christmas seems inconceivable.<\/p>\n
And the answer is that it is inconceivable.\u00a0 We do not exist in the same society.\u00a0 Sometimes when it\u2019s convenient, they pretend we are one people but that is patently false.\u00a0 They believe in none of the things we do.\u00a0 Every action they perform is to destroy that world that we inherited and love.\u00a0 Christmas is at the epicenter of all they despise and envy.\u00a0 Parents and children enjoying time off from work to visit grandparents, aunts, uncles and especially cousins are an indictment of their failures as normal human beings.\u00a0 Producing and supporting a family is a heresy for them, a sin against Gaia.<\/p>\n
So, it is at this time of the rolling year that the stark contrast between my personal world and the official goings on of post-America clash most severely.\u00a0 Joe Biden is a monster who has lived such a horrible and phony life that he has produced Hunter Biden as his replacement in this world.\u00a0 And Biden is emblematic of what we see all around us.\u00a0 Something as moronically named as TikTok had a campaign on it to call in threats to middle schools all over America.\u00a0 School Boards all over America are threatening concerned parents with arrest if they dare complain about malpractice in the schools over propaganda they are teaching the children.\u00a0 This is a broken world and it\u2019s not accidental.\u00a0 It\u2019s a concerted effort to destroy anything that is healthy and good.<\/p>\n
So that\u2019s the thing I sense.\u00a0 It\u2019s the disconnect.\u00a0 Christmas was always a special time of the year but now it\u2019s an anomaly.\u00a0 It\u2019s this island of joy and happiness in an ocean of dysfunction and malice.\u00a0 But because of this very difference and rarity it must be enjoyed and cherished almost desperately.\u00a0 You have to drain the experience down to the very last drop.\u00a0 Maybe because it has to last a very long time every minute needs to be put to good use.\u00a0 And as much as possible exclude the outside world and all its horror from your sight and mind.<\/p>\n
So, when you make your plans for the holiday do your utmost to leave the newscasts and the social media far from your eyes.\u00a0 Concentrate on family, food and fun and recharge those batteries as best you can.\u00a0 It comes but once a year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
