Well‚ it’s Christmas Eve. I say "Merry Christmas" to you all in the most non-politically correct manner as I do believe that we should keep "CHRIST" in CHRISTmas. Ok‚ lots on my mind so I’ll try and make this understandable. I’ll start this by saying I’m Jewish‚ don’t celebrate Christmas‚ and never have done Christmas shopping.
