Christmas: It is about Caring and its 'Ripple' Effect




"A simple act of caring creates an endless ripple"
One of my favorite Christmas songs is If Everyday Could Be Christmas. This video was about a birthday present, but it represents the spirit of Christmas, which should be the spirit 365 days.
To pass on good will and have the spirit of Christmas, one need not be a Christian or possess belief in any religion. It falls under the ancient golden rule, of which was encouraged by an influential person by the name of Jesus of Nazareth:
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. - [Book of Matthew 7:12]
The birth of that same person is honored and continues many centuries later on a day called Christmas (Crissmas).

Feeling Lucky? Today is Friday the 13th

 "Researchers estimate that at least 10 percent of the U.S. population has a fear of the number 13, and each year the even more specific fear of Friday the 13, known as paraskevidekatriaphobia, results in financial losses in excess of $800 million annually, as people avoid marrying, traveling or in the most severe cases, even working."

A Satirical Look of the Evolution of Christmas

In the Victorian era parlor games were the fashion, conducted of course in a room named the "parlor" that could be found in middle-class and wealthy homes as a place to entertain guests.
One of the games was where the guests and hosts would sit in chairs in a circle and one person made up a phrase to whisper to the person to the left or right of them and then repeat it until the last person received the phrase who would repeat what was heard out loud. Invariably the phrase was quite different from what the first person passed on and that person spoke the original phrase out loud to compare to the result of passing it on.
The concept of the game was based upon the phenomenon known as gossip. If you live in a county or community such as where I live, you know how gossip works - much like the Victorian parlor game.

Democrats Know No "Line of Demarcation"

During the presidency of Ronald Reagan I was a professional soldier, and I saw how he and Margaret Thatcher were obstinate in bringing down communism and freeing people from the yoke of Marxism; and thus I predicted that the Berlin Wall would finally come down and the Soviet Union would fail economically.
Yet with all those proven principles against Marxism, We the People through apathy and satisfied in being the "silent majority" we allowed Marxism and social engineering to creep into our educational system. The Democrats chose their path and created their agenda thinking they had a system based on Marxism that works and began with calling it democracy, but in fact it was a road to socialism and pushed it with the premise that democratic socialism would be more successful that history has shown what Marxism can do to a nation.

Democracy? NO! Republic! "Just Holiday"? NO! Christmas!

With Democrats it is a war with words in order to change meaning and concepts. There is a definite Marxist agenda in that which they push on real Americans - "political correctness" it has become known to be. And being the Marxists they are, they have polluted American youth's minds, "dumbing down" and turning their brains into mush. The result is what we see on today's campus where they must be heard, but no one else because they need their "safe zone". Safe to intimidate and use "peer pressure" on any student or students who dare actually think, think for themselves, not follow the consensus, and actually ask questions.
 “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” — John Adams
