We were making fun of it and then, all of the sudden, the car battery died. We thought that might have something to do with our making fun of the Christmas Shoes song...

I understand that you like the song, and that's great. Maybe I came across too strong so I appologize for that.<BR/><BR/>To clear the air, I am not suggesting that tragedy does not happen during Christmas. Suffering is always a part of life. I have never shied away from addressing painful curcumstances in life on my blog. Never would I mock someone's pain. <BR/><BR/>The song I refer to in the post is not based on a true story. Based on asking SFL readers what they wanted me to address during Christmas this song - and my reader's distaste for it- was mentioned several times. <BR/><BR/>StacyStacy from Louisvillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10073539622676635354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840304789503373528.post-29736929936550789792008-12-09T10:51:00.000-08:002008-12-09T10:51:00.000-08:00i personally think that song is rather sweet. alon...i personally think that song is rather sweet. along with the story behind it. and yes, Stacy, there are many people with tragic thing happening to them around the Christmas season.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
