COLONEL BO’S CHRISTMAS CHEER Of course the Birthday of Christ makes Christmas by far and above our favorite holiday, but there are a ton of ‘human things’ that make us especially love Christmas. The scriptural notion that ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive’ is maybe the most powerful everyday practical lesson we learn either at Sunday school or at home. The single warmest and most satisfying feeling I ever get comes when I give a book to a ‘wounded warrior’ just back from Afghanistan or hand one of my Montana Frontier Audios to a scout-age kid whom I’ve noticed doing a ‘Good Turn’ without credit. Then there’s the music! Don’t you agree the wide range of Christmas music sets that day apart. We laugh and dance to “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer” and “I Saw Daddy Kissing Santa Claus.” Then in a moment, we weep to “Silent Night” or “Oh, Holy Night.” I think you’ll agree, It’s All About Joy. Right? Put one of my books under the tree for a loved one. They’re The constant rain did not stop youngsters from bundling up to hear Christmas stories being at B’s Mountain of Books read at the Idyllwild Library last Monday.
