What makes Joe festive?

Always be careful
where you roast your chestnuts.

Every year in the run up to Christmas, the same iconic classic “chestnuts” are served up by network television. “It’s A Wonderful Life”, “A Christmas Carol”, “Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer”.

I felt it was time to offer up some alternative viewpoints to the oft-parodied Christmas cautionary tales.

These two Christmas-themed spoofs “roast” those “chestnuts” on an open fire, presenting a view of Christmas from the perspective of the original spirit of Christmas who appears to a suicidal man on Christmas Eve.

I invite you to get your jolly on with these merriest mistletoe missives of good cheer.

Peace on Earth. Goodwill and Glad Tidings to you and yours.

Bite me, Hallmark Channel.

“Mary’s Grandkids” is the heartwarming story of the world’s most celebrated mother in her quest to become a grandmother. It is a testament that illustrates the “can do attitude” of women when it comes to resolving challenging reproductive circumstances. It demonstrates a spirit of cooperation to “lend a hand” when most needed, in this reimagining of an pivotal event that millions worldwide hold dear.

In my continuing quest and steadfast refusal to suspend my disbelief when it comes to the stories we’ve been told in church, I have once again put keystroke to computer screen (the modern equivalent of “put pen to paper”), and opened a small window into the behind the scenes machinations that began at the Last Supper.

So, get out your rosary, put a doily on your head, bow your head with great respect, and get ready to genuflect, genuflect, genuflect!

Dementia patients often recall things in their long-term memory…but just what do they recall?

    Say hello to Joe
