Christmas Inspires Good
In an effort to continue providing inspiring or insightful stories and commentary this Christmas season another gem was found at Hot Air. The excerpt below is linked to the author’s blog as if presenting it here would have any real influence on sending traffic in that direction. But for readers of this blog it is offered as another breath of fresh air to maintain tradition and principled thought.
Like other Christmas posts featured here this week to counter the troubling trend in some circles to diminish or abandon traditional American values the piece by Doctor Zero strikes a familiar chord. One does not need to subscribe to a particular religion, philosophy or share beliefs or agree with those held by others to appreciate or respect an effort to express peace and joy any time it happens.
Some of the most generous and charitable acts for benefit of others occur during Christmas. It is an annual event that inspires good. To demean or diminish it seems, I dunno, Grinch-like. Are there other events that inspire good? Yes. Should they be acknowledged as well? Yes. But this week on this blog we’re talking Christmas in America. Because some seem to think it should be downplayed. Not a notion received well on this blog and other places.
