Fifty Five Is The New: Holly Day

Welcome To Fifty Five Is The New!

Hello out there!
What's it to you, turning the age of Fifty-five? You don't have to be turning it tomorrow, you could have already turned that corner a while back. That part doesn't matter so much.
While it's important what one feels, what matters most of all that one feels, that one feels anything at all.
So, as an exercise in self-examination and a way of getting over an incredible writer's block, I submit this blog to the World Wide Web, and I submit myself to a bit of mirror gazing.
Inspired by the movie "Julie & Julia," I will blog for one year, which will include my turning fifty-five, and see what I find.
Who knows? Maybe fifty-five will be something fantastic...like the New Me.

Holly Day

December 25, 2010....Christmas.

Christmas Ball rcw

Is it politically correct to even call it that? We are living in a strange time, when it is not acceptable to have manger scenes and Christmas Carols are considered barely appropriate, and only under certain settings.
What happened?
How did it get this way?
Can you imagine, trying to perform something like Handel's Messiah in the current mode? What would it be like? "For undo us a child is born; unto us a unisex child is given...." or "I know that my personal source for Higher Power liveth." How moving!
I still love it the old way and don't see the harm in wishing everybody a Merry Christmas! Heck, I wish 'em Happy Kwanza, Happy Solstice, Happy Hannukah and whatever else comes down the pike! And will always do so!
Take that, Ebinezer Politico!

For today Fifty Five Is The New Holly Day....December 25....Merry Christmas!
