(From History.com) Every year on March 17, the Irish and the Irish-at-heart across the globe observe St. Patrick’s Day. What began as a religious feast day for the patron saint of Ireland has become an international festival celebrating Irish culture with parades, dancing, special foods and a whole lot of green.
Valentine’s Day isn’t all roses and romance. There was a real person behind it. I can safely say he didn’t love how he left the world.
Today is Sunday, tomorrow is Monday. The holidays are done. We return to regular routines and our day-to-day existence. It is good to have a change in life every now and then because it keeps us fresh and renewed. Many of us have had extended time off while others have had just a couple days to rest and renew. In this new year there is going to be change, it’s guaranteed. Life is about flux and fluidity. No matter what you do, I hope you will do it well in the coming days.
Tonight we had some friends from our former church over for a Twelfth Night Party. It is a celebration to teach the significance of the Epiphany which is the conclusion of the Christmas season. This was a night of fun where we had food, did a play of sorts and exchanged gifts in the spirit of a “dirty Santa” way. This is something we do each year and its a great time to get together with friends.
The movie where we learned about electric sex and how a Red Rider will shoot your eye out. Not to mention the triple-dog-dare. This movie is about the universal angst a child has when they really want something for Christmas and will do whatever it takes to get it.
This is one of the greatest Christmas movies ever.
Wrapping gifts is something I am not good at, yeah I suck at it. Tonight I wrapped my wife’s Christmas gifts and needless to say I did the best I could. Everyone has their own talents but mine is not wrapping. I did use a couple of gift bags to help my cause. You can tell which gifts are mine by how they are wrapped. Soon those gifts will be opened and all will be revealed as it is this time every year.
