Today is the last day of the monthly novena in honor of the Infant Jesus - exactly one month away from Christmas Eve... How cool is that?
.
Just think, at Bethlehem Christmas is celebrated every day... and yet some of us complain it comes along too soon when we see Christmas decorations going up before Thanksgiving - every year.
.
Tut! Tut! No complaints as to how it is celebrated in this country, how secular and commercial it has become, and so on. Remember, the real Bethlehem is not exactly located in a Christian country. Oh! Oh! And those secular Palestinians sell Christmas souvenirs - many rather tacky - all year long. And they listen to non-Christmas rock music while they do it.
.
Yeah. So lighten up and have a nice Thanksgiving if you can manage it. ;)
