On my way to work this morning, I heard a radio advertisement from the Archdiocese of Washington on WMAL. In a sense, it is taking the Come Home for Christmas campaign to the next level. After poking around on the website earlier this week, I have to say that the advertisements are nicely done.
The question is: What is the Return on Investment (ROI)? Will it being people back? Will it intrigue others to find out about Roman Catholicism?
However, you have to give credit where credit is due. Nice job.

Merry Christmas to One and All!
Luke 2:1-4
In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment, when Quirinius was governor of Syria. So all went to be enrolled, each to his own town. And Joseph too went up from Galilee from the town of Nazareth to Judea, to the city of David that is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. While they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock. The angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were struck with great fear. The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Christ and Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

No Religous Christmas Stamps at the Local Post Office!
So today, my good friend "A" goes to the local Post Office at Four Corners (Silver Spring, MD).
She walks in to mail some packages, and pick up some religous Christmas stamps for herself and for me. (I told her to pick up about 8 or 9 books for me -- like I said, I use them throughout the year.)
The clerk behind the counter tells her: "We are sold out. We have Hanukkah stamps. We have Kwanzaa stamps. We don't have the religious ones. Would you like one of the others?"
Can you believe that? Out of religous Christmas stamps.
I am going to have to go to one of the larger Post Office stations now.

Editors Note: I am going to take a couple of days off. You will see me back just before the New Year.
