We use words like advent, faith, goodwill, miracle, rejoice and worship. We use them as the backbone of a life trying to defend Christmas and the true joys the season brings.\u00a0 You use them as a punch line.\u00a0 I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to anyone who rises and sleeps under the snowy blanket of Christmas I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it.\u00a0 I would rather you just said, \u201chappy holidays\u201d and went on your merry little way. Otherwise, I suggest that you pick up a glass of spiked eggnog, take a long gulp, and enjoy its noxious wonderment. \u00a0\u00a0Either way, I don&#8217;t give a reindeer\u2019s ass or damn what you think about Christmas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Merry Christmas!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/jessup.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-63316\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/jessup.png\" alt=\"jessup\" width=\"227\" height=\"289\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Santa Claus Jessup<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">#elveslivesmatter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Message from\u00a0The Commentor&#8217; Formerly Known as MCPO NYC USN Ret.
