AMEN, AMEN, AMEN. Butch, you made my day a lot better with your wisdom and

not afraid to say what you believe. I, too, feel as you do. As a saying

goes, 'live and let live'. I don't care a tinkers darn if someone or anyone

has an opinion on this politically correct baloney. Just don't try to take

my choices away so I say to you and all others on the list, I will continue

to wish everyone a very MERRY CHRISTMAS. If they don't like it, it is their

problem. Even the governor of the great state of Iowa decided everyone

should say 'happy holiday's'. He can kiss my behind and I sure as heck will

bare it for him!!!! Oh, and best wishes for a healthy, happy NEW YEAR.

 

Blessings and love,

Smilin Effie

P.S. I also have passed the year that the cancer doctor gave me to live. I

am going to keep on trucking, too. Just have to stay out of crowds so just

think of me as a bear in hibernation (LOL)
