Happy Holidays For Real

There are eight days of Hanukkah. Twelve days of Christmas. Seven days of Kwanzaa. Not to mention New Year’s Eve and Day. There is lots of celebrating to do. Be safe, have fun, be blessed. God be with you all.

Wrestling Toys For Christmas

My missus gifted me professional wrestling toys from ALL ELITE WRESTLING for Christmas among other cool things. This is THE ICON STING and his former tag team partner Darby Allin. They were AEW tag team champions before Sting retired.

A Fresh Look For My Blog, Thanks To An Older Theme

I finished (for now) renovations on my blog. I am using the 2015 Default WordPress theme. It features a sidebar on the left instead of the more common right side. With some coding and creativity, you can make a 10-year-old theme look current. I used the Firefox browser to make all my edits and to research ways of manipulating the fonts and colors. It’s good to change things up every now and then. Please check it out when you have a moment.

The Reality Of The Season

For many out there this is not a happy time of year. There are many reasons the joy of the season is muted due to realities that are ever present. To those who are struggling know you are seen and loved. May you find peace to get through the holidays. May God be with us all no matter our circumstances. Peace on Earth. Goodwill to everyone.

Happy Festivus, For The Rest Of Us

Festivus is a secular holiday celebrated on December 23 as an alternative to the perceived pressures and commercialism of the Christmas season. Rituals such as the airing of grievances and fetes of strength are part of this great holiday inspired by the TV show “Seinfeld”. May your Festivus pole be glorious and grand.

Hanging of The Greenery At St. Peter’s Episcopal

This morning, after church, the church was prepared for Christmas. Today was the last Sunday of Advent, and we are now focusing on the Christmas season which lasts 12 days (as in The 12 Days of Christmas). St. Peter’s is Ready for the big days ahead. I hope your preparations are going well.
