Happy Friday Guys and Dolls:
The first weekend of the New Year is approaching and after all that holiday celebration and being back to work and school I’m sure we are all looking forward to it. Today we celebrate the Epiphany the visitation to the Christ child by the three Magi named Caspar, Melchior and Balthazar. They were Kings from the East, a group of distinguished foreigners who visited after his birth, bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. They are regular figures in traditional accounts of the nativity celebrations of Christmas and are an important part of the Christian tradition. When I was in grammar school and served as an altar boy we would accompany the priest of our parish in blessings of the homes in which the initials of the Magi were written above the door. It was a nice tradition and I hope it still continues today in my old neighborhood.
Over the weekend we celebrate Pepe Le Pew’s birthday, I hated that cartoon and that skunk; I would have loved to see Tom and Jerry kick his butt. It is also Fruitcake Toss Day. I have never been a fan of fruitcake so I say “Toss it if you want to.”
Sunday is Bubble Bath Day, a good day for all you Dolls to soak in those soothing bubbles and hot water and let your minds drift far away. For the little ones it’s just another way to wet the entire floor. Well I’m finished for today, it is tough to write the first week back but I’ll get in the groove shortly. Have a great weekend and be careful out there.
