FOX/FAUX NEWS AND CHRISTMAS

This has been rolling around in my head for quite some time now and the time is now to get it out.  As most of you know Bill O'Reilly is one of the talking heads on Fox/Faux News. Well it seems that he is claiming that there is a War On Christmas. Now I don't give much credence to ole Bill because I think that he is a Fox/Faux news idiot just as I do all of the "news" crew of that program are. Of course, this is just my opinion and we all have one. I do have family member that will disagree with me on this and that is okay because I totally disagree with them on alot of stuff. As most of us realize Fox/Faux news is the right arm of the Republican Party so of course I disagree with most of what I read or hear about what's on their program. But this crap that Bill O'Reilly is touting has got to be the most ridiculous thing ever. 

How can there be a War On Christmas when I hear people say Merry Christmas all the time. Now when I was a kid I would also hear people say Happy Holidays or Season's Greetings. Now it is as though if you say these things today then you are having a War On Christmas atleast according to Bill O'Reilly. The latest word from Billy Boy is that the gays are having a War On Christmas now I for one am so glad that Bill said something because here I would have been unaware of my tribe doing such a thing. In fact in actuality I feel that the gays, me being one, have an excellent Christmas spirit going on. You know there are gay people that are Christians and do go to religious churches and praise the Lord of course I am not one of them but I do have friends that are and it is beautiful thing to behold in them. I attend a church that is more into social justice and that is where my heart is but I still believe in Christmas and I know what the meaning of Christmas is from my childhood. So there Bill O'Reilly take that.

I read a poster today on my facebook that said "Bigotry wrapped up in prayer is still Bigotry" and to that I say "TRUE THAT".  I wonder if they did a postmortem on Bill O'Reilly's brain if it would be like a battery operated system that just keeps on ticking or a wind up toy that when it runs out it just stops. Some of the things that I hear come out of his mouth just stop me in my tracks and I just have to shake my head in disbelief. 

As it says in the Christmas Carol "You keep Christmas in your way and I will keep Christmas in mine." Of course that is old Scrooge saying that to his nephew before he reforms but the sentiment is there. People should be open minded and not judgmental. This is a new generation and a new time in this country and in this world. This is no time to be an old fart or a curmudgeon Bill O'Reilly or anyone else for that matter. In AA we have a motto that says Live and Let Live. Some folks may not want to celebrate Christmas just as old Scrooge but he came around in time. 

Here at the Bundy~Kidd house we are blessed with so many things a new puppy being one of them so we will celebrate Christmas as we have for many years with our family and our friends. Our house has become our home with so much love and so much kindness for one another. We are truly blessed. 

These are my thoughts and feelings from Jillsville.
