Okay....I know it's not the Christmas season yet, but it will be soon....
anyway right now my girls are watching Blue's Clues, in this episode Joe [Steve's brother who took over while Steve went to college, for those who know Steve but dont know Joe, LOL] and everyone is celebrating Christmas....although they don't say Christmas....they say "Happy Holidays"....Oh my gosh....I cannot tell you how much I hate it when people say "happy holidays"....it used to be that people would actually say Merry Christmas, but now, the country has become so "politically correct" that people can't say the word Christmas because it might "offend" someone because their not christian or they don't celebrate christmas....Oh my Gosh how wussified does this country have to get before we realize that we shouldn't worry about offending people because hey we're going to always do some little thing that is going to offend someone, so if we always try not to offend people then we might as well not do anything of significance....
anyway I make it a point every Christmas season to say Merry Christmas instead of happy holidays....that was how I was raised, I was raised in a Christian nation that celebrates Christmas, Christmas is everywhere...so in stead of denying that fact and encompassing all the different holidays into one even though some people dont celebrate all those holidays...well if you celebrate Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa, or whatever then say happy [insert holiday here] and since I celebrate Christmas and I dont celebrate any of those other holidays then I will say Merry Christmas....and I will teach my kids to say Merry Christmas instead of wussifying them and indoctrinating them into being afraid of offending someone just because that person doesnt celebrate Christmas....
anyway that's my little rant....when Christmas comes around, I'll probably bring this subject up again....so yeah
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
anyway today is my 4 year wedding aniversary, part of me cant believe it's already been 4 years, we've gone through so much in such a small amount of time, we've had amazing times and hard times and sometimes seemingly impossible times, but we've been commited from the start, and I cannot imagine being married to anyone else...I find myself falling more and more in love with him every day, he's become an amazing husband and father. and I am so blessed to be married to such an amazing man.
so......
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!!!!!!! hehe
ok well I'm going to go now, I have other things I need to do....
much love
