My family was more subdued with the Christmas lights. A few of those electric candles in the windows, an evergreen wreath with a red bow on the door with some some small white lights, or some white or blue lights on the pines in the front yard. However, I did enjoy the more ostentatious shows of Christmas lighting as a kid. The oil "emergency" of the 70's, however, took care of that.

A conservative friend sent me this:

To All My Democrat Friends: Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2014, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other countries nor the only "America" in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishes. ALSO, I apologize that this personal expression of glad tidings may have reached you on a work computer, and thus may have broken proper usage regulations either set personally or corporately.

To My Republican Friends: Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.
