Today's message has nothing to do with politics, and I thank God for that. It has to do with what Americans might consider over the next few days.

Christmas is hurtling toward us and I have two things on my wish list: peace on earth and... Don't be a jerk.

The first one is noble but unattainable. The second, much easier.  It's all about second chances and swings both ways.  If someone has wronged you, try for detente.  Maybe just a simple card, wishing them a nice Christmas.  If they have any remorse, they'll reply.  If not, they won't, and you get clear definition. No one should waste time on a spiteful person.

If you, yourself, have hosed someone, it's a card and small gift.  Short message inside the card. The word sorry should be prominent. Only elaborate if it's necessary. Again, if the person replies, a wrong could be mitigated, unless it's invading Ukraine or something.

Decent people believe in redemption. Miscreants don't care.  Do your best not to be one of those.  And have yourself a merry little Christmas.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.
