Third Day of Christmas: St. John the Apostle, Disciple and Friend of Jesus

Posted by Mary Chastain on December 27, 2020 2 Comments

On December 27 we recognize the feast of St. John the Apostle, a disciple and close friend of Jesus. Like St. Stephen, whose feast day is the day after Christ's birthday, there is a legit reason for St. John's feast day so close to the 25th.

The First Day of Christmas: the Birth of Jesus Christ

Posted by Mary Chastain on December 25, 2020 9 Comments

People messing up the twelve days of Christmas has always annoyed me, even before I converted to Catholicism. Christmas is not a day. It is a season that lasts twelve days. It begins on December 25 when we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and ends twelve days later when the Magi visit the nativity.

NYC Kids Must Go Remote if Parents Do Not Agree to the School Performing COVID Test Without Them

Posted by Mary Chastain on December 23, 2020 20 Comments

I came across this New York Post article about 12,000 kids not allowed to return to school after the Christmas holidays over lack of COVID-19 consent forms. Interest piqued because government sucks. It turns out Mayor Bill de Blasio required a consent form to test your child for COVID without a parent present and would not accept test results from a private doctor.

Trump Tells Congress to Eat COVID-19 Bill, Wants Amount Increased to $2,000

Posted by Mary Chastain on December 22, 2020 63 Comments

President Donald Trump announced he wants Congress to amend the COVID-19 relief bill to give Americans $2,000 instead of $600. The best part? Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi "forgetting" that Republicans and Trump never once told her the amount they wanted to give people. Oh, she also said one day ago that $600 is a significant sum.
