Merry Christmas

Peace On Earth and Goodwill To All

It this time of year that we reflect on all that has happened this past year and to give thanks. However, for many it is not a time to rejoice, it is a time of loneliness, their families may have moved and left them behind, their family or spouse might have pasted away leaving them without any close relatives or their children might be at their in-laws for this holiday, for whatever the reason, it is a lonely time.
But for many in the LGBT community it is an especially lonely time,
they might not have seen their family since they came out to them. Their families and children have disowned them. Sometimes when we do attend the gathering, we feel like outcasts, like the square peg in the round hole, we just don’t fit in, we are tolerated when we bring our partners or ourselves to the table.

So let us open our hearts and doors to them and think of them this holiday season, give them a call, have a Zoom get-together or drop them a Christmas card, let them know that they are remembered.

For me I am going to be with my family down in New Jersey this weekend.


American traditional songs...





And a cute little video...

    The horse does very well in its part in Over the River. I have to admit that I have never suffered from being alone or loneliness. My life does not depend on others for my living. Never did and never will. Perhaps that is why I see things differently than the dependent types in the LGBT movement. I pity those who depend so much on others as they can get us in a heck of a lot trouble when the shit hits the fan. Merry Christmas and watch out for the New Year.
