A mass for Christ. Definetly a Christian time. My Christian soul yearns for the celebration for the birth of Jesus but my humanistic flesh throws me into a deep depression and maybe should do something about the "depression blues".It is the once a year time where music is not my favorite subject so I throw on a few instrumental XMAS CDs. Yes, I said XMAS and don't apologise for using the term.Our children are grown, married and getting married and I'm grateful for a lot in this world but have come to an age that family get togethers are essential to the celebration of the holidays. But living 1000 miles from siblings and our children are flashing in and out for the holidays really sparks the "dep" bug. Mrs. Mj's mom is revovering from a heart attack. We are having Christmas at our house this Saturday with our daughter and her husband. Of cousre I'm working that night.
Now are'nt you glad you asked, maybe some Mudfolks who think they have it bad can feel a little better about their season. These are my inner feelings and I know I can get well soon and perk back up when I give thought to the birth of Jesus Christ and the real meaning of Christmas. Living in the N.W. where winter days are short and dreary is likely the real depressant.
I do wish all a very warm and HAPPY HOLIDAY Season. And Happy Birthday to Jesus Christ for those who share that reason for celebrating the holidays.
