Let's be honest about the holiday season

I friggin really like Christmas!
First off, I care about American traditions and Christmas is one powerful representation of religion, tradition and kindness. It should be preserved and supported in a positive way.

In church the music is beautiful and the feelings are good.

Out in the country where traditions still exist and people still care (my opinion) there are fantastic lights and ornaments in the yards and wreaths on cars and trees. Christmas brings family and friends together for a few days of vacation where everyone can eat lots of food and share in good friendships and relax.

Or in my case, eat good food, drink good rye, scotch and whiskey, hang out and share gifts with good friends, work on my car, test out the performance of snow gear, hike with the dog in a blizzard up in the mountains, shoot guns, drive 4x4s in the snow and catch up on sleep.
