No, I'm not dead....

The CCB is not dead. I'm simply finishing up the Christmas card season. I'll be back with something this month hopefully.

The Secular Humanist Choir Sings!

Yesterday, the Feast of the Epiphany, we closed the Mass by singing Oh Come All Ye Faithful. Thankfully, this NOT being the 2nd Sunday of the Month, it was NOT accompanied by a guitar.

I found myself humming it during the day, in between watching as much football as I could. I also found myself thinking of what our pastor said during the homily, about the Epiphany being the "unveiling" of Christ and how the Magi "took a different route" once they'd seen the Lord. (Some of that had to do with the angels, of course).

The Epiphany or our Lord. Probably something the atheists hate even more than Christmas itself. I mean, for crying out loud, it's bad enough we have to celebrate His birth, then a week later we celebrate the "unveiling" for all to see??? Sheesh!!

So while humming Oh Come All Ye Faithful, somehow I was struck with the idea of how the secular humanists would sing it.

Christmas hiatus

It's that time of year again. Despite the down economy, businesses are still sending out Christmas cards, thanks be to God. Of course, at some places they call them "Holiday Cards", but at Trade Greetings, Inc., it's Company Policy to call them what they are - CHRISTMAS CARDS.

Now, I understand that for some, political correctness is a way of life. I don't agree with it, but I understand it. As for me and my little company, it's Christmas. No other "holiday" even qualifies. I make Christmas Cards for companies to send out Christmas salutations during the Christmas Season.

I'll return in a month or so, and until then, I wish you all an early Happy Thanksgiving!

The Holiday That Dares Not Speak It's Name...

It's good to be back!


Christmas - the ONLY Holiday where it's okay to reference in code, but you'd better not say it outright!

Christmas!

Just wanted to post an explanation for the sparseness of cartoons lately. For me, it's Christmas Card season. I own Trade Greetings, Inc., (http://www.tradegreetings.com/) through which I design and sell Christmas Cards for companies (mostly contractors). Most designs, like the one here, allows for the company to put their logo on the vehicle, making for quite a unique Christmas Card. And yes, all of my cards are referred to as "Christmas Cards", although many people refer to them as "Holiday Cards".

So I'll try to throw in a new cartoon here and there, but this endeavor keeps me working like mad up through early December.

And if the company you work for needs some Christmas Cards, let me know. I'll throw in a discount just for us Catholics...
