This year, as in past years, we will not be having "holiday" celebrations in our home.

Instead we are first looking forward to the Christmas Carolers who always come by the house singing Christmas carols and we'll happily throw a few bucks into the bucket for their Christmas collection. The carolers like to help others who will not be having as happy a Christmas as the more fortunate.

Our house is already decorated with Christmas lights and we are enjoying the Christmas cards that arrive daily. On Christmas Eve we'll hang Christmas stockings and perhaps have a bit of Christmas egg nog with friends.

On Christmas morning we'll open Christmas presents that are under the Christmas tree, following which we'll have our traditional family Christmas breakfast. On Christmas evening we'll have our Christmas dinner during which someone will make the same old joke: "Gee, only 365 more days until Christmas".

We'll let the more politically correct celebrate "the holiday".
