It's Beginning to Look a lot like....A Recession

Here we are in the month of December, which has creeped up upon us rapidly. Normally a month of glitz, cheer, genorisity, and good spirit, I am finding that few people seem to be in a mood of celebration, at least here in southern California. Gone are the fancy houses with bright lights, the stores with streem-lines of decorations, and the streets lined with banners and other marks of the holiday season. Where I live, it has never really been a place where Hanukah is seen, at least on the streets, stores, or where, for that matter, but Christmas has always loomed larger than life. Is this just the new normal? The sign that our economy, our jobs, and our future are not secure? We are now more fearful than faithful, and that being said, we watch what we do, how we spend our money, and decorate.

Regardless, it is December, and I hope everyone of you has a happy holiday. May this be a time of strength, goodwill towards others, and celebration of ourselves, and our loved ones.

Thank you for your minds.
