Ironisches Weihnachten

Many operations within the government of the United States of America are currently shut down because the Congress and the President cannot agree on funding, or even reinforcing and building, a wall on our border with Mexico.

 Negotiations will resume on Thursday, meanwhile, the stalemate continues. 
Between now and then, of course, all involved in negotiations will pause to celebrate a holiday about a child born to a middle eastern couple seeking refuge and shelter.

Maybe more effort should have been made to put Christ back in Christian than in Christmas.
Perhaps a thought for another day, but for today, Merry Christmas.
