Spent the day today at the malls looking for a simple "Merry Christmas" sign to hang on my cedar hedge in the front yard. Just to promote good will and the Christmas spirit over the holidays. Could not find one anywhere. Dinosaur, Stuart, Penguins, Moose, Polar Bears, Elk, Ducks and the topper of all toppers, a "Camouflaged Blow-up Santa." Now I'm not advocating a type of religion, a belief, or some kind of sect, just a seasonal glimpse of my family history and that peaceful feeling that was my culture when I was growing up. Political correctness is not correct anymore, we've left ourselves out. Everybody is afraid of saying it for fear of being called a racist or a facist or any other "ist". When I go to the mall I want a "Merry Christmas" not Happy Holiday's or Season Greetings from the store clerk, I'd like to see the Salvation Army person ringing that bell and wishing passer-by's a MERRY CHRISTMAS loud and clear. I want that Santa at the mall back with a smokers cough and booze on his breath. Bing Crosby playing in the background and drunks fighting on the sidewalk. I know I'm asking for a lot but just like how it was growing up asking for pages 12 through to 24 from the "Wish Book" if I only get a few things, that's my Christmas. Merry Christmas everyone.
