I'm dreaming of a wet Christmas...

Well, not really. But that's what we're going to get, a wet Christmas and beginning of Hanukah. At least according to the weather predictions for northern NJ and southeastern PA. At least it's going to be warmer than the past couple of weeks.

A dispatch from the war over Christmas. I noticed again last night that the Baptist Church in Hackensack doesn't have "Merry Christmas" on their signboard. They have "Happy Holidays." It's a church, so "Merry Christmas" would not have been inappropriate. So, maybe there's some hope for civility here.

I'm going to my sister and brother-in-law's in the exurbs of Philly for the weekend. They're practically in Amish country, out past King of Prussia and Valley Forge. My mother has already left; my brother-in-law came and picked her up around noon. Since I may or may not have access to a computer there, and I won't be back at work until Tuesday, I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Good Solstice, Joyous Yule, and a hearty Bah, Humbug! for those of you who just want it all to go away!
