Celebrating Christmas… such a simple thing. All of my life, and yours too, Christmas has been celebrated, in one way or another, all over the planet. It never was a big deal – just special. ‘Good will towards men’. It’s a time to set aside our differences and to feel good about our friends and family and things in general. We send each other special cards expressing our wish that the recipients enjoy this special, blessed time. We exchange presents with the special people in our lives.

It used to be a time for children who impatiently waited for Christmas morning with bated breath, anxious to discover what was inside those shiny wrapped packages left the previous evening by Santa Claus/Father Christmas (only, of course, if they had behaved themselves for the whole year). It used to be a time of mystery, excitement, and enjoying a big feast surrounded by family.

The modern problem is, it’s a religious celebration. It has the audacity to celebrate (symbolically) the birth of someone named ‘Jesus’. Christians, denoted as a person who believes in Jesus Christ and is a member of a Christian denomination following the teachings or manifesting the qualities or spirit of Jesus Christ, apparently must worship only in church or at home. One must not, to be politically correct, wish another a happy Christmas in public for fear of offending a non-believer.

I am totally at a loss to understand that by wishing someone happiness and joy I would offend them! Have we finally come to a time in our evolution where ‘Bah Humbug’ is preferred to ‘Happy Christmas’? Has Christmas and Christianity now been forced into the closet left open by emancipated homosexuality? If God can’t bless America, who in Hell can? Whoops, now there’s a horrible thought…

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

So, the invitation is clear. Let us follow the good advice proffered by that wise English philosopher Edmund Burke, and do something. Something so outrageous, so defiant yet so profound. Let’s wish everyone we meet, no matter where or when – A Very Happy Christmas.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHRISTMAS
By Samantha L. Quigley

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9, 2005 – Deployed servicemembers are once again sending holiday wishes to family and friends from afar.

The greetings, a decades-old holiday mainstay, are one way families can have their servicemembers “home” for Christmas. The troops, with the help of their public affairs officers, tape thousands of holiday greetings each year for local TV stations to air as the holidays approach.

The method for collecting and airing those messages, and other news from overseas military units, was basically the same for years. Digital Video and Imagery System technology has sped up the process, Army Sgt. 1st Class Michael Wetzel, said.

“(DVIDS) is mainly to give stateside media … reliable and accurate access to troops on the battlefield,” Wetzel, the DVIDS noncommissioned officer in charge, said. The service is free to media companies that wish to use it.

efore DVIDS (pronounced DIH-vids), teams from the Army and Air Force Hometown News Center, based in San Antonio, went overseas to film the holiday greetings starting as early as September, he said. When the teams finished their rounds of the military installations, usually in October, they would return to Texas to edit and compile the messages geographically before distributing them to TV and radio stations around the country.
