ALL I WANT FROM SANTY IS MY SANITY
By: Rev. James L. Snyder
ALL I WANT FROM ‘SANTY` IS MY SANITY Rev. James L. Snyder
Christmas is the one time of the year when it is okay to be traditional. That may be the reason why so many people look forward to the Christmas holidays.
The rest of the year most people are under the pressure to be 'non-traditional,' whatever that may mean. Today it is not politically correct to be traditional and if you are, you run the risk of being out of favor with the rest of society.
Christmas, however, is a different time altogether for everyone. July may be a good month to be non-traditional, but not December. There is a time to be non-traditional and then there is a time to regain your senses and enjoy the amenities of good, old-fashioned, traditionalism.
No matter how far away the young folks wander, Christmas draws them back to traditionalism like a magnet. (It might have something to do with pumpkin pie.)
One of the wonderful things about this time of the year is the many family traditions enjoyed and endured by families all around the world. In the parsonage, we have honored some great traditions through the years.
Each year, while the gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and our little brood decorated the Christmas tree, I busied myself in the kitchen making my special eggnog.
What was so special, was that each year it was different. I could not remember from one year to the other just how I made it. Usually it turned out all right, except for the year I forgot to put in the eggs.
Another tradition in the parsonage was the Christmas wish list for good ole Santy.
One of the practical reasons for this was to prevent my children from getting me a fluorescent orange necktie with a pink hoola-dancer on it. As a minister, there are precious few places to wear such neckwear.
The children of the parsonage are grown, with children of their own now, and the 'wish list' has gone the way of all good things.
It is the one tradition I miss,and I wish it could be revived. If I could revive the 'wish list,' there is one thing that would lead my list. All I want from dear ole Santy this year is my sanity.
The fact that I have lost my sanity, or at least, misplaced it, is quite curious. The curious thing about it is that I do not remember just when it was that I lost it.
Have you ever looked for something only to discover that you could not find it and could not remember just when you saw it last? If I could only remember when I last used my sanity, it might serve as a clue as to where it is right now.
It is not that it has been a major lost in my life, but there have been a few times when I could have used it.
For one, I could have used my sanity when I got married. Looking back, it seems that at the time, my sanity was somewhere, but not where I could use it readily.
My girlfriend (now the Mistress ....[MORE]
