I’m away from home spending Christmas at a relative’s house near the Gulf of Mexico. The weather has been stormy all day but seems to be calming down now. Just wanted to take a brief moment to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas and to encourage you to hold fast to the faith. Here in the wee hours of Christmas morn, unto us a Savior is born.
I’ll resume reading and writing about Rules for Radicals and other unsavory topics after Christmas. And for all you Catholics out there, don’t forget to go to Mass! I drove over to a nearby parish this afternoon and checked out Mass times and have my alarm set and my clothes all laid out. So I’ll be starting my Christmas celebration with morning prayer, the Rosary and the Mass. I can’t think of a better way to begin the day. Any day.

Merry Christmas, ya’ll!
