At novena's end...


Today is the last day of the monthly novena in honor of the Infant Jesus - exactly one month away from Christmas Eve...  How cool is that?
.
Just think, at Bethlehem Christmas is celebrated every day...  and yet some of us complain it comes along too soon when we see Christmas decorations going up before Thanksgiving - every year. 
.
Tut!  Tut!  No complaints as to how it is celebrated in this country, how secular and commercial it has become, and so on.  Remember, the real Bethlehem is not exactly located in a Christian country.  Oh!  Oh!  And those secular Palestinians sell Christmas souvenirs - many rather tacky - all year long.  And they listen to non-Christmas rock music while they do it.
.
Yeah.  So lighten up and have a nice Thanksgiving if you can manage it.  ;)
