Ho,ho,ho!
Fayetteville, Santa
Claus is coming to
town! And, I for
one, can not wait.
Don't you
just love this
time of year —
parades, festivals,
Christmas shows,
singing Christmas
trees, nutcrackers,
bright lights,
holiday songs,
decorations, food,
parties, presents
and fruitcakes?
Okay, maybe not
fruitcakes. But,
presents? Yeah,
presents! Hey,
what's not to like?
We have so
much to celebrate
and be thankful
for at Christmas.
Actually, I find
it amusing that even the most fanatical anti-Christmas
atheist cannot object to the true celebration of this very
special holiday without saying the word CHRISTmas.
Finally, in this case, anyway, we have foiled the rampant
rage of political correctness. The fanatics can object to
it all day, but, at least they have to say it: CHRISTmas!
CHRISTmas! CHRISTmas!
I apologize in advance for my blatant and insensitive
disregard for the atheist's point of view. So, Merry
CHRISTmas to the Fayetteville community and all of our
faithful readers.
I guess this
would also be
a good time
to say "thank
you" for all the
calls, emails,
letters and
voice messages
we received in
support of our
newspaper's
position in
support of
Fayetteville's
Hometown
Utility PWC,
its board and
management
team. Up &
Coming Weekly
has a flawless
20-year history
of supporting
both the city
and PWC. Rest
assured your
loyalty and
the mission and mandates of our newspaper will not be
abandoned.
The perfect Christmas present to our city would be a
message and reminder to our City Manager, Ted Voorhees,
that the Grinch will never steal Christmas and he will
never be able to steal PWC. Thank you for
reading Up & Coming Weekly.
It's Christmas in Fayetteville
