it's stiillll christmas!

How was your Christmas, everyone?

Oh, excuse me.

How *is* your Christmas, everyone?

After all, it's still Christmas, right? Maybe not Christmas Day, but definitely still Christmas.

While we were at our Pappap's house this weekend, we got a "Merry Christmas!" as a good bye, and then a "Oh, no, it's actually not Christmas anymore. So Happy New Year!". And Gab and I just looked at each other.

Really?!?!

Since when has Christmas ended after December 25th?

And who says that after that day, it's over? The government? The calendars? The factories that make the calendars?

So. Just thought I'd clear that up, as it's been bothering me since yesterday afternoon. :)

Oh, and (I know this is completely out of the point, but...) have you seen this video yet? It's fantastic.

And, according to USA Today, this guy's only 16! Yeah, I know. We were all amazed that he actually sounds like a guy! Imagine that! Younger then Justin Bieber, and sounds twice as mature. Amazing. :P

Anyway...lots of love, have fun on the rest of your break, and...

MERRY *CHRISTMAS*!

April Fools...and bad news...

Happy April Fools Day!!!

(yes, the header is supposed to be like that)

Now...for the bad news part. This is what we have reason to be UNhappy about...

"Some protesters spend more than five days a week picketing outside Planned Parenthood's...offices. But what they might not realize is that their actions have raised thousands of dollars for the organization.

Through Planned Parenthood's Pledge-a-Picket program, those protesters are helping the organization more than they're hurting it. That's because donors have agreed to make a pledge of financial support to Planned Parenthood for every protester that shows up outside.

...

"If there are a lot of picketers, we get a lot more money for our services here."

Last year, the Pledge-A-Picket program brought in more than $20,000 for Planned Parenthood in Virginia. [The] money is used to help low-income patients get preventative reproductive health care services.

"The intention was to pare down the picketers so they wouldn't be as intimidating to the women who are actually trying to seek reproductive preventative health care services."

[And anti-abortionist here] says that the success of the Pledge-A-Picket program means the protesters are doing something right. "We're having an effect. If they're trying to seek money for us being out there, that probably means they're losing money in another sense."

Sad, isn't it? Planned Parenthood now have donor-people that will donate money for each protestor out there. In other words, by protesting in front of the Planned Parenthood building, people are now pretty much making money for their cause...I guess all we can do is pray harder. (sorry, I had to cut out some of the words...)
