I have completed my column for Christmas Day so my prose will appear today. Enjoy!

I love Christmas Day;
I love the entire Holiday Season;
It is the time to pray;
Everyone has fun for an obvious reason;
The Christ Child has been born;
It is written He was born in a stable;
The bedding He was wrapped in was worn;
To all Christians, this is not just a fable;
This is the best time of the year;
The weather can be annoying;
Family and friends gather for cheer;
Most people are quite cloying;
I love my family all the year;
The season is made bright by the addition of decorations;
This special time makes that so very clear;
The Yule time is so full of temptations;
It is the time to celebrate;
With mistletoe, wreaths, ornaments, trees and a one horse open sleigh;
It is not the time to alienate but rather it is time to accentuate;
Be thankful, be cheerful; but most of all pray;
Merry Christmas to my wife, Lucas, Ross and Hannah;
Happy Holidays to Joanne and Heather, the new members of our clan;
Hello Kris Kringle; I sure like Santa;
Not yet but grandkids could be part of next year’s plan.
Merry Christmas to the rest of my family and friends;
As I write out of sight;
For the slights to my friends I make amends;
Please have a good night.

Just a couple of thoughts I had and you should too or at least think about.

Enjoy the gender neutral cookies.

The news as I see it and the views as I want them.
December 23 is … Roots Day

Once this child grows up, if the parents allow such a thing to happen, he will have no roots. I wrote about the Denver Girl Scouts not admitting a boy and then changing its decision last fall. The ‘mother’ claims some voodoo crap about the seven year old being trapped in the wrong body. That is something all seven year olds concern themselves with.

The repercussions from this ‘witch doctor’ mother putting her in front of the line as opposed to the majority are now being suffered by many so this selfish screwball can have her way. A Colorado-based Girl Scouts troop's decision to admit a 7-year-old transgender child this fall has prompted three leaders to resign and dissolve their troops.

As The Christian Post is reporting, all three of the troop leaders were affiliated with the Northlake Christian School in Covington, Louisiana. Susan Bryant-Snure, one of the leaders who resigned, told The Baptist Press that the Girl Scouts' action is "extremely confusing" and an "almost dangerous situation" for children. "This goes against what we [Northlake Christian School] believe," said Bryant-Snure, who has three daughters among the 25 girls who had been active scouts there.

The controversy began when Felisha Archuleta protested against a Denver troop's decision to not initially allow her transgender daughter, Bobby Montoya, to join the group. "I believe he was born in the wrong body," Archuleta, who also confessed to having difficulty switching from male to female pronouns when discussing her child, told ABC. "But the Girl Scout leader told us he can't join because he has 'boy parts.'... But no one would know he's a boy unless they pulled his pants down."

The Girl Scouts of Colorado subsequently released a statement through the Gay and Lesbian Alliance against Defamation (GLAAD) in support of Archuleta and her excluded daughter, noting, "If a child identifies as a girl and the child's family presents her as a girl, Girl Scouts of Colorado welcomes her as a Girl Scout." Added Rachelle Trujillo, vice president for communications of the Colorado Girl Scouts: "If a child is living as a girl, that's good enough for us. We don't require any proof of gender."

Bryant-Snure and her fellow leaders are now expected to align themselves with the American Heritage Girls, a Christian organization that was founded in 1995 in response to the Girl Scouts' decision to let scouts use a word other than "God" in their pledge, according to She Wired.

Revisiting one more story before Christmas, we have this. Apparently it wasn't just strippers running wild and having sex in Miami's federal prisons prosecutors say a prison employee was up to some hanky-panky, too.

Jack Chris Jackson, 45, plead guilty Tuesday to sexual abuse of a ward, the Department of Justice announced. The former U.S. Bureau of Prisons employee admitted he had a sexual relationship with an inmate at the all-male minimum security Federal Correctional Institute for a year, and also admitted to having sex with other inmates. Under federal law, sexual relations between prison staff and inmates, even if both are consenting, is considered abuse. Jackson faces a maximum of 15 years in prison at his sentencing, scheduled for March.

"This correction officer abused his official position to engage in sexual relationships with his wards," said Wifredo Ferrer, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida. "This conduct is an intolerable breach of trust that not only endangers the safety of inmates but also compromises prison security."

Palin just will not go away!

December 22 is … National Date-Nut Bread Day

For all of you lucky recipients of Kindles, Nooks or other Ereaders be sure to order my books. I have three published to date with another work coming shortly. They are available at Amazon.com, Smashwords.com, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, Apple and many other ebook sites. Just do a name of author search or a search by book title. That information is below. Help a struggling author.

Who has the Fruitcake this Christmas? Maybe Sarah Palin has it. Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin (R) attacked the White House holiday card in an article on Fox News Radio.

The front of the card shows the Obamas' dog, Bo, sitting in a very Christmas-like setting, with a fireplace decorated with wreaths and red ribbons, and a table with a poinsettia plant and presents. "From our family to yours, may your holidays shine with the light of the season," reads the inside of the card, which is signed by the Obamas (including Bo).

Palin characterized the card as "odd". "It's odd," she said, wondering why the president's Christmas card highlights his dog instead of traditions like 'family, faith and freedom.'"

 "Even stranger than that was his first year in office when the Christmas ornaments included Chairman Mao," Palin said. "People had to ask that it be removed because it was offensive."

Palin was referring to when a right-wing blog posted a grainy photo, allegedly of an ornament on the White House Christmas tree in 2009 showing a reproduction of Andy Warhol's "Mao" portrait.

The defense lawyer for Levi Aron in the tragic Leiby Kletzky murder is now blaming Aron's actions on the effects of inbreeding. Lawyer Howard Greenberg said in court, "Look, everybody knows when blood relations have offspring, there can be genetic defects. It's something that needs to be investigated down to the ground."

Earlier this summer, a court-ordered, psychological evaluation found Aron to be "deeply troubled" and demonstrating various schizoid features. However, the evaluation still found Aron fit to stand trial. Greenberg, who joined the team in October, rather flamboyantly announced his intention to enter a not guilty plea by reason of insanity, despite the evaluation's results. If the insanity defense was rejected, Greenberg said, "You can quote me on this. I will quit the practice of criminal law if Levi Aron is not found insane."

In July, Aron confessed to murdering and dismembering the 8-year old, Hasidic boy who disappeared while walking to meet his parents after school. The murder shocked the country, as gruesome details emerged of Aron's planned abduction. In Aron's confession, he admitted to feeding Kletzky prescription drugs, suffocating him, and then dismembering his body after he "panicked."

Defense lawyers challenged the confession and claimed Aron was coerced into admission. Greenberg said, "My opinion is this guy would admit he shot Kennedy if you spent enough time with him."

Prior to Greenberg joining the team, Aron's lawyers Pierre Bazile and Jennifer McCann were reprimanded by Justice Neil J. Firetog for their unusually unprofessional conduct regarding the trial and its details. Firetog criticized the two for discussing the case on their personal Facebook accounts and leaking information to the press.

Just a couple of thoughts I had and you should too or you should at least think about.
