I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

I heard this song on the radio on my way home the other day and I have to say, I think this is a disturbing song and I really don't care for it. I tried to imagine how I would feel if I was little kid and I saw mymommy kissing another man...and I think it would leave me confused. In fact I think it would be a little traumatic if I believed in Santa. the whole idea of mommy kissing another man is frightening enough, but Santa; the man who is supposed to bring me gifts and treasures. Santa, the man I adored, would be seen as a lecherous womanizer who was taking my daddy's place. Ya I know...Santa is "daddy," but when you are five, you don't know that! All you know is that some fat man dressed in red, who is supposed to bring good will and happiness, is laying a big wet one on your mommy! Anyway, I just wanted to share my distaste for the song. I find it disturbing...and I especially hate it when The Jackson Five sing it...it makes it even more annoying. (this is not a slight against the group, as I usually enjoy listening to them...but I hate their version of this song...) 

Dear Santa

So since I am unmarried and almost 30 I don't really have a "santa" to tell what I want for Christmas. I still have the true meaning of Christmas in my heart, but I still wouldn't mind a few awesome presents :) lol

2. A Nativity Set
3. Anne of Green Gables(movie)
4. Anne of Avonlea (movie)
5. A hardback copy of William Shakespeare's sonnets
6. Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens, hardback of course
7. A Winco gift card for groceries
8. Doctor Who apron from http://www.cafepress.com/
9. Doctor who bumper sticker that says "Bowties are Cool" from the same web page
10. Disappearing TARDIS mug http://www.bbcamerica.com/
11. A ticket to Paris or London...or Glasgow!
12. A Christmas Trimmings Candle
13. and 5 million dollars would be nice as well.

The true meaning of Christmas

So on Saturday I was helping Maxine decorate the house with Christmas decorations. She has probably five different nativity sets. I do not have any nativity sets... As I was setting them up I was overcome with tender feelings about the Savior. I thought it was such a simple thing, putting up nativity sets around the house, but it served as a wonderful reminder of why we celebrate Christmas. I try and keep that in mind as I buy and make presents for everyone. I get excited about giving people things and I know that is not a bad thing. But I hope that as we all get ready for Christmas that we take a moment to remember the reason we celebrate Christmas. I feel truly blessed to have a little reminder like the nativity to remind me what Christmas is all about. So this year keep Him in your thoughts, give to others and keep a spirit of kindness and love about you. Keep these thoughts with you now and througout the rest of the year too :) Merry Christmas everybody
