Yesterday was a great day. It could have really been a big thing if Bill, Chris, Bennie and their families had been here in person, instead of here in our though and prayers. Rita and Robert were here, along with their two grand daughters Kelly and Emily. And Agatha’s granddaughter, Amber, and her husband Michael and their two kids came by for a short visit.
Bente did her usual outstanding job on Christmas dinner and we all eat much more then we should. Bente is a great cook and enjoys having the family in for a meal. Family get together’s are a big thing in Denmark and she really misses them. So when we can we like to get everyone around and just “visit”. In Denmark that means about 3 to 4 hours at the dinner table eating, drinking, and chatting about anything and everything. Maybe even eating again. On my visits to her home I found that I like their style very much. If it is a party, as opposed to normal gathering, they will “visit” for 4 to 8 hours. And none of it is boring. It is really a good time with everyone laughing and enjoying themselves.
Yesterday we had a good long visit and some really good food. To me that is what Christmas is all about.

Merry Christmas
I'm in a bad mood because:
Ah Yes, It’s that time of year again. You know, when all the media is full of the “homeless” in line to get into the “Shelter”. Do you look away when they show the pictures or do you really look at these “homeless people”? Take a good look. All of them, and I mean all, are very well dressed for “homeless” folks. And all, yes all, appear to be very well fed. And most have quite a bit of “Bling” on. Homeless? Or looking for a free handout? Check out the parking lot and see how these “Homeless” got to the shelters.
Then there are the “Toys for Tots”. A noble cause I’m sure but think about it. Watch the pictures of all the “poor” ladies rushing around the Goodwill store and the other distribution stations to get a toy/present for their (so called) kids. And of course the media will interview one or two who will have tears in their eyes and say something like, “My kids wouldn’t have anything if it wasn’t for you folks!” Take a good look at them. They are dress to the nines, with all sorts of jewelry and makeup on. Most are well fed. Correction, overfed. If the actually have a kid maybe they should get their fat ass home and give it some of the food they have been eating and hock the jewelry and go buy a present instead of looking for another free handout. Such a scene was on TV just now. It was taken in the parking lot of the Goodwill store in Winston Salem. The big fat black lady that was doing the poor act was driving a 60 thousand dollar SUV. Boy do I feel sorry for her and her condition.
As for the poor kid that don’t have anything for Christmas I am truly sadden. And nothing you or I can do will help those kids. What they need more then anything is a safe and loving place to live. They don’t deserve to have trash for parents that only have them as a way to get money from the Government. And they don’t deserve a Government that keeps handing out money to these people for having kids. What we need in this country is to go back to orphanages. We should take kids away from anyone that need Government assistance to feed and raise them and put them in orphanages. Private orphanages run by Churches and Masons and such groups.
As for toys, I don’t believe any kid in the U.S. is lacking for toys. Just take a drive around any trailer park and Habitat for Humanity housing area and take a good look at their yards. That is the ones that aren’t overgrown or covered with Auto’s with $3,000 speaker systems in them. What you will see from one end to the other is toys. But you know what? I have never seen a kid playing with any of them. Maybe it is because the kids are a grandma’s house. Where are the parents? Let’s see, Homeless Shelter? Goodwill? Wellfare office? Their drug dealer? You can bet they are not WORKING!
