Merry Christmas everybody!

  I would like to take this time to wish everyone in the blogosphere a very Merry Christmas. I hope that you all get to spend some quality time with your family and friends today. I have decided to include an audio clip from my favorite band, The Cure. This was recorded in 1987 around Christmas time and it is entitled “Merry Christmas Everybody.” The audio is not great, but then again this was recorded live over twenty years ago. (It is hard to believe so much time has passed me by!)

  I would also remind everyone that while we celebrate Christmas and while we visit our families on this day that there are families who still are unable to spend this holiday together because their country has called them into service. Please say a prayer today for the men and women who are currently overseas protecting us so that we are able to celebrate today. It is the least that we can do for those that do so much for us, and we must never forget the sacrifice that they and the families they leave behind make every day.

  Here is a heart wrenching video of a song entitled “Bring Him Home Santa” sung by a little girl whose only Christmas wish is for her daddy to come home in time for Christmas. I think this song encapsulates the sacrifice that military families make on a daily basis and I cannot ever express or repay my gratitude towards these people in the manner in which they deserve.

  Thank you so much and Merry Christmas.
