Put Christ back into Christmas

 So many towns and villages have forfeited their plans for lighting. The tree and having Christmas cheer. When the fire engine would roar down, the town, streets, and all the children would come out to see Santa Claus.. 

The reason so many of these towns and villages have canceled is because the cost to protect the people coming to the village to celebrate Christ in Christmas is because Muslims and riots and other people who are for islamists would cause problems and the cost of police protection outweighs what it would.  B, for just to cancel Christmas..

Puttin' the Christ Back in Christmas (Lyric Video)

This song was produced by Glenn Beck using his AI tools.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

Well, the season's here, and the lights are bright, but they tell me, I can't say Merry Christmas tonight.

They want RamaHanuKwanzMas all in one breath.

Buddy, that phrase is gonna bore me to death.

So, grab some Coco. Let's reclaim this place.

It's the birthday of the baby.

Yeah, remember who that is.

Chorus:

So, I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas.

No microaggression here.

My friend, if words can break you, I'll bless your heart, because that's a battle we can't defend.

Yeah, I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas.

Let common sense unfold. Out with the new, in with the old.

Merry Christmas. Let the truth be told.

Verse 2:

And hey baby, it's cold outside, relax.

It's flirting, not a federal crime.

We used to laugh and dance in snow.

Now they fact-check mistletoe.

They say intent don't matter.

Well, sure it does, ask Santa.

He's judging hearts, not Twitter buzz.

Chorus:

So I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas.

You can keep your outrage warm.

If every jingle is problematic, buddy, that's the real snowstorm.

Yeah, I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas.

Not buying what they sold.

Out with the new, in with the old.

Merry Christmas. Let the truth be told.

Bridge:

They say that greeting is oppressive.

Well, bless my soul.

Who knew if Merry Christmas makes you tremble, the problem ain't the phrase, it's you.

I'll question with boldness. I'll reason with grace, but don't rewrite my holiday to make it a safe space.

So, here's to the manger.

The star in the sky.

The angels who sang up that holy night.

Here's to the story that still brings hope

Even when cultures lost the remote.

Raise your voice, let the bells all ring.

This season was always about one king.

Chorus:

Yeah, I'm putting the Christ back in Christmas.

Let the real good news unfold.

The world may chase the wrapping paper, but the manger holds the gold.

So, I put the Christ back in Christmas from the young to the gray and old.

Out with the new, in with the old.

Merry Christmas. Let the truth be told.

Understanding Attachment Needs in Relationships

Attachment needs refer to the emotional requirements for closeness, security, and safety in relationships. These needs are shaped early in life through interactions with primary caregivers and continue to influence adult relationships.

The Role of Attachment Styles

Attachment styles are categorized into four main types, each affecting how individuals connect with others:

Attachment Style	Description	Common Behaviors
Secure Attachment	Developed from responsive caregiving, leading to confidence in relationships.	Comfortable with intimacy, open communication.
Anxious Attachment	Results from inconsistent caregiving, causing fear of abandonment.	Clinginess, need for constant reassurance.
Avoidant Attachment	Arises from neglectful caregiving, leading to self-reliance and emotional distance.	Difficulty with intimacy, low emotional expression.
Disorganized Attachment	Develops from chaotic caregiving, resulting in fear and confusion about relationships.	Mixed behaviors, desire for closeness but fear of it.

Meeting Attachment Needs

When attachment needs are met, individuals feel secure and connected, fostering deeper relationships. Conversely, unmet needs can lead to emotional distance, anxiety, and negative interaction patterns.

Importance of Communication

Effective communication is crucial for addressing attachment needs. Couples can benefit from discussing their emotional requirements and understanding each other's attachment styles. This awareness can help break negative cycles and promote healthier interactions.

By recognizing and addressing attachment needs, individuals can enhance their relationships, leading to greater emotional security and satisfaction.

Showing Soldier & Veterans Gratitude.

 As I sat here and listened to a World War, 2 veteran being asked, how do you feel about the awareness? And he expressed how ashamed he was about the way the world is when he lost his friends and soldiers for freedom, the country isn't what it used to stand for for freedom.  The man became very hunched over and bewildered at the thought of how disappointing the country has been the newscaster, tried to express and reach her hand out to him, expressing how she's going to teach her children and share with others about how the soldiers had fought for freedom and what freedom. Stands for and he perked up slowly.  And giving her gratitude, don't let them forget what we went through to fight for freedom..

You can show gratitude to veterans by volunteering with organizations that support them, writing thank-you letters, or attending events together. Other meaningful gestures include making donations to veterans' charities, helping with community projects, or simply reaching out with a phone call or text to express your appreciation.
