Is
there really an attack on Christmas?
If
I were to believe what the news media has been projecting this Christmas Holiday
Season, those who do not share “Christmas” are images of Rambo, armed to the
teeth with his AK-47, shooting reindeer off the rooftops, busting down the
doors of people’s living spaces, setting Christmas trees and tinsel a fire, turning
over dinner tables and smashing gifts and toys, as little children look on in
fear…
Of
course, there is no war on Christmas…just like there is no color to Santa
Claus. I heard on TV a young lady talked about what her family told her that
Santa Claus had no particular color, and that it all depended on what part of
the world he was and with whom.
Lying
awake early this morning, giving thanks to Allah or God in gratitude for the
goodness and light of the Moon and stars, the light of love and enlightenment
in front of the darkness of the fears of the unknown, the joy of the season
brings calm to my heart.
Memories
of my early years of childhood play before my mind’s eye. The joy of the
season, the joy of my community, the joy of my family and friends, and the joy
of my soul.
Bringing
all of that joy I share with you, peace to the world for all of humankind.
