Happy Holidays!!

That's right, I said it. Happy Holidays! Why? Don't I believe in Christmas? Why does saying Happy Holidays seem to make people think you're anti-Christian or trying to be "politically correct?" Why can't it simply be an inclusive greeting?

There are more holidays being celebrated during this season than just Christmas. Not everyone out shopping is doing Christmas shopping. Instead of becoming irate and ranting about people saying happy holidays, why not practice the Christian belief of turning the other cheek?

Books!

Way back in August I made a promise not to buy any more books for the rest of the year. The boys and I agreed that any books that were free didn't count against me, I just couldn't BUY a new book. The hope was that I would read the mound of books I own but haven't touched yet.
