OK, so I’ve posted this here a couple of times already, but still, instead of anything political or anything lambasting the forces of secularism or commercialism or whatever, here’s something that’s made a regular appearance in some form or another in my Christmas correspondence for the past 16 years or so.
The Gift
Trees and lights and bells and carols;
Bright-wrapped packages, piled high;
Winter’s sharp blow joins the heralds:
“Christmas-time is nigh!”
Mailmen hurry; shoppers scurry;
Time is fleeing – Oh! So fast!
Parties gather, loud and merry,
Grander than in Christmas’ past.
Pause a moment to remember
That a Savior’s simple birth
Still stirs angel wings in susur’ -
“Peace to men; good will on earth!”
Now the Father’s hands that molded
The first Adam in the clay,
Gently ’round a manger folded,
Cradle a Baby in the hay.
So the Greatest Gift extended,
Gift of love and peace to all,
“God’s great love to man descended”
Calls us to a manger stall.

Yeah, sure, Apple is immune to hackers!…
The only reason hack attacks against Apple products aren’t in the news very much isn’t because Apples are more secure than PCs. It’s really because there are so few of them out there compared to PCs that it isn’t as profitable to hit them….
