Feliz Navidad, and A Merry Christmas to you, whether singular, or plural!

Damn! What a holiday season this one of 2005 was: matechines, posadas, tamaladas, you name it.

One of the neatest things, on a purely personal level, were the thoughts written out in unpeccable long hand, by our good friend "Marshall." In these lines Marshall gives us some insight into his views of the real reason for the season. He also gave us permission to share them with anyone interested. So here they are:

"Some kids think Wow! He pulled a rabbit out of his hat! Or, Gee-whiz! He sawed that lady right in half!

"When we grow up, we learn that magic teaches us that just because it seems or looks so, does not mean it really is so. I try to apply this to everyday life & people as well. (I Corinthians 13:11)

"An innocent man was condemned to death, rose back to life on the 3rd day! Now THAT'S a wow! (And it was PREDICTED!)

"Oh, my goodness!"

Good point, Marshall. In fact today's gospel (December 27th, 2005) gives St. John's views on this as well. Too bad that as someone said the other day in Spanish:

"For those who believe no proof is necessary; for those who don't no proof is suffcient."
