Hello all, it is Christmas has been Christmas and will be Christmas again. There are ghosts some of the past, present, and future that forever will come and go and stay and leave.
Big stuff for me on Christmas:

Christmas vs Holiday?
well would you prefer Christ's mass or Holy day? pick one and get on with it either way you are getting words with a lot of baggage.

Family:
I love my family, I am staying with my brother and sister-in-law tonight, My niece was excited to see me which was shocking to me because she sees me maybe twice a year and she is less than two so there weren't very many chances for her to see me, so my brother and sister-in-law have put a picture of she and I on the background of their deskstop so she knows "Jushin" so I am fine being "Jushin" because she recognized me as soon as she saw me. I was so happy. She was sitting with her father in the balcony at church today, and I heard her scream from the balcony (because I was the one who carried her up there) "Jushin". A tear then rolled down my face.

I got my mothers car stuck on a downhill slope in snow. I was comming back from midnight mass and forgot that West Virginia (atually in this case Ohio) hills at night in the snow are hard to navigate.

Mass was great though, to be able to spend the first hour of Christmas in worship... that is wonderfull.

I have many other things to say but this is just my merry Christ's Mass post.
