If
you’re actually reading this on Thursday, something is wrong. You need to log
off your computer or smart phone or whatever device you’re using to access the
Internet and find something in the real world to do.
THERE
ARE TIMES I think our lives have become overtaken by these devices. There’s
nothing you’d read on the Internet or on Facebook or Twitter on Christmas Day
that couldn’t wait until Friday.
That
is when serious commentary about the “great issues” of the day will return
here. You all should find something joyous with which to occupy your time.
Even
if Christmas is irrelevant to you. For those who finished celebrating Hanukkah
two days ago, I hope you had a wonderful experience.
And
for those of you who want to literally be the personification of Ebenezer
Scrooge, go “Bah, Humbug!” to yourself before trying to find some pleasure on
this one holiday that ought to be an excuse to find relief from the problems
and pressures of our lives!

EDITOR’S
NOTE: For those of us of a certain age, watching the Ray Rayner Show around
Christmas time meant catching these old holiday videos of “Suzy Snowflake,” “Frosty
the Snowman” and “Hardrock, Coco and Joe.” Although my holiday gift to you is “Merry
Christmas, Baby” by Otis Redding. I’ll acknowledge Chuck Berry also did a nice
take on this song. But if you’d rather hear Elvis or Christina Aguilera, all I
have to say is you’re lacking in holiday taste.
