I had a whole bunch of krampus / goofy holiday posts planned this year, to be followed on Christmas week by some deeper, more serious material, but breaking events have pretty much sapped any joy out of them. I will be posting more on Christmas over the next few days, but while some of it will be light hearted it's going to focus more on the spiritual / theological aspects of the holiday than the now postponed material.
God willing, you'll see that stuff next year. In the meantime, if you have a kid, give 'em a big hug & tell 'em you love 'em. []
