Searching for Christmas

Alan Sparrow
Wednesday, December 14, 2022
I decided to write about Christmas every week of December this year. That helps me take a break from politics after the election and helps me get ready for the holiday. I picked out a topic to write about, but decided it was a better fit for Christmas week.

  In the interest of truth in journalism, I decided it was time to update my column photo. Columnists are notorious for putting this off. I know some who are still using their eighthgrade graduation pictures. I’m not that irresponsible. My last one was my high school graduation picture.

Around our house we practice the traditional Christmas customs. My wife and I kiss under the mistletoe, or a close facsimile thereof. And we eat turkey in every conceivable fashion from Thanksgiving until New Years.
