“Happy Holidays” or “Merry Christmas”?

My thoughts on …

Merry-Christmas-vs-Happy-Holidays-600x200

Did you know that the phrase “Happy Holidays” was started by Christians?  Yes, that’s right folks, it was.  In fact it dates back to the 1600’s in England.  People were acknowledging the fact that there were more than one holiday.  Like the fact that after Christmas, there was the celebration of the New Year.  Plus there was the season of Advent, another very Christian custom, that this year begins on November 30th and ends December 24th.  So right there we have more than one Christian holiday in December.  And do you know what?  Nobody has ever wished me a “Happy Advent”.  How annoying is that?

Furthermore, let us remember that Christ was born a Jew.  How many of us really believe he never celebrated Chanukah with his family?  The tradition of Chanukah started over a hundred and fifty years before he was born, so I’m pretty sure he celebrated it more than once.

I’d also like to point out that it was Jesus who taught us to love our neighbors, be tolerant, kind and to not judge others or take offense should someone do something we feel is mean.

So in the spirit of his teachings, I find the phrase “Happy Holidays” just as sweet and respectful of my Catholic upbringing as the words “Merry Christmas”.  To me, someone is simply trying to be respectful of whatever religion I happen to follow, without giving me the third degree about my faith and beliefs.

With this in mind I wish to conclude this entry by saying, “Happy Thanksgiving”

Meet Clausmodeus…

December 1, 2011

As promised, here is a sample of another one of my writing projects.  This may or may not wind up being a one off comedy novel, I haven’t decided yet and it also depends on how the audience reacts.  So as the song goes… “Please allow me to introduce… Clausmodeus, the Devil’s Other Son”.  Enjoy…

Please allow me to introduce myself, I’m a man… AND I’M FUCKING PISSED OFF ABOUT IT!  Sorry about that… Oh great now I’m apologizing.  Look let me start over.  The name’s Clausmodeus, and I’m the son of the Devil.  No, don’t start that looking for the three sixes, sign-of-the-beast crap.  You’re thinking of my half-brother, the Anti-Jerk who’s supposed to bring about the Apocalypse.  I’m not into that garbage.  If you actually read the end of the big-incomplete-book, the bad guys lose and you all land up in heaven and we wind up with nothing.  Where’s the fun in that?

Nah, I like the world the way it is.  Sin and temptation are way more fun with you folks around.  I love seeing what new things you’ll come up with next, with a little help from me of course.  Plastic surgery for instance, that was one of my inventions.  Some people would sell their soul to look better and have others lusting after them.  Hey, a two-for-one deal.  Dad liked that one.  In fact he let me come home from Heaven early for it.  That’s where he usually sends me when I’ve pissed him off.

See, for a full-devil, being up there listening to tall that glorying and choir singing is the ultimate in boring.  But he forgets I’m only half-devil, or at least tries to.  He hates to admit that he nailed the wrong broad.   He was trying to spoil every virgin he could find when he realized God was getting ready to have his son come into the world.  Only Dad didn’t count on the big guy setting up a decoy using one of the female angels.   Thus, instead of thwarting the coming of the Christ, he wound up with me.  A Devil/Angel, or D’evgel if you like.

I can tell you right now, Dad didn’t like it.  Come to think of it, neither did his minions who laughed about it when they found out.  They’re still sore from what he did to them and that was over 2000 years ago.   Heh, my old-man can really get inventive sometimes when it comes to punishments.  Especially like the one he laid on me this time.

I still can’t believe it.  Me the son of the devil, stuck in a human body in Amish country.  I’m humble, meek, helpful, polite, don’t drink and don’t swear… the works.  And to top it off he gave me erectile dysfunction which means I can’t perform and all the women know about it.  So I have no chance of even getting married just to have sex once in a blue moon.  Talk about a sore-head.  And I didn’t even do anything to deserve getting punished… this time.

Here, let me go back and start over from the beginning…

Sorry for the prolonged silence…

Greetings all, hope you had a great Thanksgiving.  College is slowly winding down which means the workload has piled up and gone into overdrive.  I have regular classes this week and next week.  Then the following week is all FINAL EXAMS, which means the teachers are throwing everything at us that they didn’t get around to earlier in the semester.  So I won’t have much new to post for another couple of weeks.  I may post a sample of one of my other book projects that doesn’t involve Alex, Ronnie, Cassie or Julie in a day so you have something else to read in the meantime.  It’s a comedy peace involving the Apocalypse, Jesus, the Devil the Anti-Christ and the devil’s OTHER son Clausmodeus who was born the same day as Jesus.    Yes, there’s a definite reason for that little fact and you’ll find out more when I post it.

Until then peace out and stay healthy.
