Somehow, I find  myself getting later and later with special occasion
thoughts.  I believe part of the reason is because I have political comments
that the outer me wishes to express.  However, the inner me is constantly
interrupting with one headripping, shrill  shushing sound!  As a result, I
must restrict myself only to comments on this holiday called CHRISTMAS.

How can I, without holding readers captive, discover some written word that
might replace the ritual of frantic shopping sprees that often lead to
personal and disastrous debt economy just for this one day of the year? What
happened to the true meaning of this holiday, the SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS?  When
and  how did we lose it?  What do we have to do to bring it back?  We surely
must begin somewhere!

Now, you  may not agree with me, but read what Chief Seattle said:

                       Humankind has not woven the web of life.
                       We are but one thread within it.
                       Whatever we do to the web
                       We do to ourselves.
                       All things are bound together.
                       All things connect.

Might this not be a beginning?   What a frightening responsibility!

One with  many thoughts,
 E
