Here's a nice Christmas editorial from the writers heart... http://www.nola.com/opinions/index.ssf/2017/12/christmas_poverty.html#incart_river_mobileshort_home
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. Please forgive my pity party. My wife and I have both come down with the flu and are contagious. We have to cut ourselves off from everyone, and had to call our son and his finance (coming home from Birmingham) and tell them not to come by the house. They'll see her family, our parents...everyone but us. This totally sucks.
I was in the grocery store chackout line a few minutes ago and the clerk, a girl named Ry'Neshia according to her name tag, wished the person ahead of me a Happy Holidays as he was leaving...I was all set to give her shit about it when she said it to me but she told me Merry Christmas instead.
