How different Christmas would be if we had to reach a specific number of prayers, monetary donations and gifts to the presenting organization. That would typically be a religious organization in the past. In the present, it might be retail organizations. Probably Amazon - it would be able to keep track of this. And it makes me think of this Scrooge crossed with performance target scenario: No Christmas for the poor - you haven't made your quotas.
On our Christmas march, we are slowing inching our way towards the U.S. election results. That's how I think of this: we're waiting for political Christmas Day. If we don't get to Christmas Day, we will be experiencing purgatory for another 4 years. Because there is only one scenario that results in Christmas Day. I know this from the news this morning.
This morning's New York Times inbox news tells me that "Trump lies in the White House briefing room, and the networks pull the plug"
“We have to cut away here because the president has made a number of false allegations,” Lester Holt said on “NBC Nightly News.” On ABC, the anchor David Muir broke in and told viewers, “There’s a lot to unpack here and fact-check.”
MSNBC declined to air his remarks live at all. On Fox News, the White House correspondent John Roberts told viewers that “we haven’t seen any evidence” to back up Mr. Trump’s claims of electoral fraud.
This is the angel in our cemetery. She's praying with us on this one.
