This is what bored photographers do when their kids shop at school for their parent's Christmas gifts. They start taking pictures of rather simple things and start goofing with depth of fields, maybe angles, anything to make a snapshot anything but a snapshot. Either way, here are a few things my kids saw at the school "Holiday Sale." I put that in quotes because we all know it's a Christmas sale, but the schools have to remove the religious aspect of it to avoid pissing one or two people off.
It's my opinion that words don't hurt. Wish me a Happy Hanukkah. I don't care. I'll say Merry Christmas. This is the United States of America where you should be free from religious persecution. Persecution can be defined as: "The unlawful coercion of another's liberty or his unlawful punishment." You have your religion, and I have mine. No reason we should be so easily offended.
I'll leave you with one of my favorite movie quotes that sums up my belief very well from the movie Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze. As he explains to his bouncers he wants them to be nice, one of them spouts off, "Well, what if someone calls my Momma a whore?" Swayze retorts, "Is she?" I also believe my favorite author, John C. Maxwell, says that words don't cause pain if we don't accept them as truth. If you wish me happiness through your religion, I will gladly accept the happiness and smile. In no way will it offend me that you didn't use MY terminology. It just isn't a big deal.
Well, occasionally, you will get a little rant out of me. I'm done now...lol. Here are my bored pictures from the other day.
