Mary's Musings

This must be a difficult time of year for secular humanists and cosmic humanists alike. After all, even the cheerful greeting "Happy Holidays" has in its meaning the acknowledgment of a "holy day". Besides the celebration of the birth of Christ, Jews have Hanukkah, pagan earth worshippers have winter solstice, and then there's Kwanzaa. Even Muslims don't have a problem celebrating the birth of Jesus since they accept him as a prophet and teacher.

With Christmas just 5 days away, I am at home with the flu. Fortunately, I seem to have been through the worst of it and should be somewhat back to normal by the weekend. Here in the Seattle area we have had rain, rain, rain. Just today, however, a blue sky opened up. In the midst of it all, the candidates have prepared their own "holiday messages" to share with America.Enjoy.
