...blog posting. I have often thought about this posting and although the commercials are not on TV anymore there should be someone out there who still remembers them and if you didn't catch this one the first time, here is my holiday wishes to all.
What I've learned from TV
If you watch very much TV you have probably caught those AT&T commercials for their cell phone network that works where you live even in Hollyorkazonasouthameriland! I like funny commercials that stick in my mind. Even if I never buy the product or service advertised I will remember the company.
The reason this commercial has played on my mind is the dilemma we face every December. What holiday greeting do you use? While the majority of Americans Celebrate Christmas it seems to receive the largest amount of censorship. I usually fall back on just wishing people a Happy Holiday and then they can apply it to what ever holiday they celebrate.
I often feel this is a cop-out as I strongly believe that Christmas is a celebration of Christ’s birth and therefore it should be Christmas not Holiday. At the same time I don’t want to disrespect people who also celebrate Hanukkah and Kwanzaa but wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah & Kwanzaa is too much to say as a casual greeting so this year I have the perfect solution…
From me to all of you Merappy Christanukzaa

I'm Thankful for...
1. A Savior: God isn't just God, He's my Father, Savior and Friend.
2. Family: I know that's number 1 on most peoples list but there are some families out there that I'm really happy to not be a part of.
3. Facebook: Without it I wouldn't know how many friends I really have.
4. A Job: I don't love my job everyday but since I don't hate it everyday I know I'm fortunate.
5. My Health: It is a constant struggle to get healthier but for now I have do illness, disease, or dismemberment so I believe I'm blessed.
6. Authors: without them I would have nothing to read and there for nothing to do!
7. My Church: I realize that a church can't be all things to all people but Brockway meets my needs and I love the people there.
8. Our Soldiers: The sacrifice of these men and women along with their families should be acknowledged everyday not just when bad news or political mumblings arise.
9. Freedom: While it is being attacked and suppressed more than ever before I'm glad to live in a country that still allow religious freedom.
10. The #10: It's always a good place to stop.
