MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS

The holiday season is upon us, or have been upon us for a while now. I have just been ignoring it.

I just want to wish you and yours a merry but blessed Christmas. If you are one of those offended by the word Christmas, have a happy holidays.

For some of you who read my blogs, we have some tenuous connection—martial arts, Modern Arnis, the Philippines, internet networking, etc. Some of you are probably surfers. But our common bond is really belonging to the human race. Deep down, we have the same aspirations, same fears, same needs.

So enjoy Christmas and good will with your family, loved ones and friends. But try to celebrate it with the whole human race as well. We need some tradition of peace and inclusion, even for such a short period of time.

God knows there is enough strife and ill will the whole year round.
