Holiday Thoughts...

Hi, everyone! Sorry for the long break. Things come up, like real life. Anyway, it's 13 days to Christmas and it's the first full day of Hannukkah! So to all of you who celebrate one holiday or the other or both, enjoy!

As someone who celebrates Christmas, first, I'm glad that this year I get to see a child's joy in the holiday. My oldest niece is 3 years old and is aware of the holiday. She is learning about the Christmas story and learning the song, "The 12 Days of Christmas." It's fun to see her enjoyment, free of "gimme gimme gimme."

Secondly, I'm glad that this year, I won't have as much under the tree. I didn't ask for much; I don't need too much and there's not much that I want.

That's pretty much it for now. I'll see you again, dear readers.

Faith and Miracles

Do you believe in miracles? I do. I was raised to believe that miracles can and do happen. But is the word, "miracle," used too often to describe non-miraculous things? Is it a "miracle" when your doctor helps you through an ailment, or is it, if you are a religious person, God giving humans the knowledge to cure the problem? Is it a miracle when you get a good parking space, luck of the draw, or just simply a good thing? What do you think and why?

Welcome to the Party!

Hello, everyone and welcome to Peach Wookiee's Party, a blog devoted to various topics. Some topics we discuss here will be highly contentious while others will hopefully be worth a chuckle. Some of you will know me from the Trek BBS, DeviantArt and FanFiction.net and I hope I'm able to entertain you. In the coming days, weeks, months, and hopefully years, we'll discuss all sorts of things. So please hang around, enjoy and please make your opinions known too. All I ask is that you are respectful of different views. That doesn't mean you'll agree with everybody; it just means you're going say, "Okay, I disagree, but it's your right to hold that opinion. It's my right to disagree and I will do so." So welcome and hold on for a fun ride!
