Merry Christmas !

I’d like to take this opportunity to say Merry Christmas to all our friends, family, blog readers, newsletter subscribers, et al. 
Did you know?
The term Christmas is short for Christ’s Mass, since the observance was originally centered around the annual mass in honor of His birth.  Although the exact date of Christ’s birth is uncertain, Christmas is annually celebrated by most of the world on December 25, with some older Christian sects observing January 6.  Although it may have been celebrated prior to the 4th century, Christmas was officially recognized by the Roman Church in AD 354.

May God bless you with a wonderful holiday!

Just a little humor

A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier. Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules. So, the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday, with his wife flying down the following day.

The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room. He decided to send an email to his wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address, and without realizing his error, he sent the email.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned home from her husband’s funeral. He was a minister who was called home to glory following a heart attack. The widow decided to check her email expecting messages from family and friends. After reading the first message, she screamed and fainted. The widow’s son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor passed out. He looked at the computer which read:

To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I’ve Arrived
Date: March 2, 2009

I know you’re surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones. I’ve just arrived and have been checked in. I’ve seen that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then!!!!

Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.
