Merry Christmas

As one of you has noticed the blog has been AWOL. The author has been under renovation. I have replaced the political rants and dysthymic discourses with a new brighter image which better displays by sparkling personality. Officially the new look doesn't happen until New Year's Day.

However, in hopes of letting in a little Christmas spirit, I have finally turned the page on the calendar to December. I couldn't let Christmas pass without a word or two on the subject. But before I do, let me wish others a Happy Hanukkah and a joyous Kwanzaa. I know I left out the Muslims. They seem are a rather sour bunch without a holiday to be merry about.

Here at Maison LaFountain we will be celebrating the birth of Christ and boldly calling it Christmas. Charlotte and Bryan have put up a Christmas tree; and oh, those are Christmas presents under it. Hey, wait a minute, I've been good! Where's my present?

       Maybe next year. Which has been the family motto this Christmas. One of the perks of careers in nursing and law enforcement is that you get to spend the holidays with your friends--at work. We are used to celebrating a week ahead of time, but even that was not to be this year. I'm sure the grandkids will survive the extra days until we appear bearing gifts. After all, they are LaFountains. Okay, some are Kellys, but that doesn't change their inborn cheerful disposition and gracious acceptance of misfortune.

     Merry Christmas Y'all!
