Christmas letter, Wittmania style

It's December 22nd, and I still haven't sent our Christmas cards out yet. I finally finished the letter up last night, and they will be going out tomorrow (hopefully!). If you want to get a head start, you can read a PDF copy of the letter here:

The Wittmann Family Christmas Letter, v. 1.1

So, anyway, Merry Christmas! I probably won't post anything new until next year, unless the ACLU or Ted Kennedy do something really stupid and I can't wait until 2006 to vent about. Speaking of our good friends over at the ACLU, I almost fell out of my chair the other day when I read that they stuck up for a second-grader's right to sing "Awesome God" in a talent show (read their press release here) at her school. That's the first time I can recall the ACLU standing up for "free speech" that also happened to be "Christian speech." Good for them. I can only hope it's a turning point for the organization, and that they will make a habit of protecting the religious rights of all Americans, including Christians. I'm not holding my breath, however, as I'm fairly certain the 10 commandments displayed down in Town Square and "In God We Trust" on the dollar bill in my pocket are still in the crosshairs. But, giving them credit for getting one case right seemed like the right thing to do. Fair and balanced, you know.

One final little side note: while shopping at Target today (don't tell Amanda), the clerk wished me a Merry Christmas as she took my money. So much for the war on Christmas, huh?
