Happy Holidays to everyone!

Did I leave anyone out? I swear, everything has to be so “PC” these days … I’m a fan of Christmas. I celebrate it. I love this time of year for many reasons.

Playing in the snow. Buying the gifts. (Speaking of gifts … is all your Christmas shopping done?) Trimming the tree. Hanging the stockings. Putting up the lights. Watching holiday movies. I pretty much enjoy anything and everything that has to do with the holidays. There’s something special about this time of year, and I’m not afraid to say so. These days you can offend people simply by saying, “Merry Christmas.” Lighten up. We can all rejoice in the spirit of the holiday season, no matter what our religion may be. There isn’t a better time, or reason for that matter, to put aside our differences and enjoy just being a kid again. When you tap into that magic, everything else seems trivial.

On that note, I’ll be back on December 26th. In the mean time, here’s one of my favorite holiday skits of all time courtesy of Saturday Night Live, and featuring Ellen Degeneres. It makes fun of the kind of “PC” rhetoric I’m referring to.

Enjoy it. Laugh. Play. Just be a kid. I promise you, it’s okay to do so.
