POWIP Piece of Work In Progress – Former Abode of Dan Collins

A time to be charitable

Well, at least for the next day or so...

Believe me, there's been plenty of recent action that has me wanting to get my rant on; indeed, my lovely wife has been subjected to snippets of rant previews over that same time.  Whether it was the truly awesome cram-downs and capitulations of the ruptured lame-duck session, the ever-expanding regualtory state courtesy of executive fiat orders, Big Sis Napolitano's blackshirts using law enforcement to intimidate an airline pilot who merely pointed out the obvious-something seen by any traveler paying attention, at any airport , on any given day in the U.S., or President Obama's smug self-congratualtion on the most awesomely awesome lame-duck session EVAR! during a press conference the other day (gee, I hope he didn't injure his elbow patting himself on the back) suffice it to say that much has transpired to get my dander up...

But, you know, it's Christmas.  A time of joy, cheer, family, friends, fellowship, and true comity; a time to hope and pray for peace on earth to all men, and to try more than usual to extend God's unconditional love to others.  So I'll spare you all my usual political rants; at least until early next week :)

Until then, I wish all our readers a joyous holiday season, regardless of whether you're celebrating Christmas or Chanukah, and hope that you enjoy the fellowship of gathering with friends and family.  Imbibe in your favorite appelation, or maybe try this recipe for mulled wine from Cap'n Lex if you want something new and unusual (just keep it below 150°F or the alcohol will evaporate off!); whatever you choose; above all, spread the good cheer.

Oh, and if you're blessed with young children, they might be interested to know that NORAD tracks Santa's progress.

So remember, we'll always have politics to argue and Obama to kick around; well, hopefully only for the next two years :)

But Christmas, well, that only comes once a year.

May God bless us all, and may He continue to bless the United States of America.

My warmest regards.
