[QUOTE="ChiefBull, post: 350247, member: 3359"] We attached ourselves to this many years ago. ChristMass is a sacred day to us and it is properly English in many of its aspects. Oh, it's easy to 'hate' the Brits; they have sinned greatly. But, they are a great people and there would be no Parliament in India but for Simon de Montfort [who gave us the Mother of Parliaments] and the Lord Cornwallis Reforms, let alone parliamentary consentual government anywhere. Our great Church hymns though they may be of Teuton heritage are English orchestrated. English culture in all of its warted human glory is a good thing to celebrate, and there is no better a time than ChristMass, and yes we celebrate 'Boxing Day' the next day; there is 'the other' who needs a ha'pence too. Good hearing from you Father Tom. Our grandchildren study and are voice trained in the Royal College of Liturgical and Sacred Hymn; and yes we are Roman. But we're still English in our backgrounds, and England is still a shining [if somewhat beleaguered] light for all. We can hold those sentiments and still all be good Americans. regards ChiefBull Anchor'sAweigh/SemperFi [/QUOTE]
