(#5440) Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays but most of all I am thankful for Ukrainians

      Today is the day most celebrate some form of festive attitude toward their given traditions. Me, I am not much for one to get involved in traditional festive associations because it is my best knowing that every day is a festive one that should not be just for one or a handful of days. I try very hard to make every day a special one without the trappings of extracurricular reasoning and cultural mores. I do not diminish the day today for anything less than special as it ingrained in our psyches also as a hope and gratefulness. So today with all the wherewithal the day brings I am reminded that there are soldiers on the battlefield who are defending the rights of all free people who would enjoy a day like today as their choice.
     The strength of the Ukrainian people is an example for all who would look at them. Don't turn your head away from these special people who are not playing life and death games in some rhetorical sense, they are living life and death reality. I am still feeling less than thankful for what the republican party is doing to the promised US aid that Ukraine desperately needs to save many of their people who are now in deaths sights. The republican party is nothing to be proud of on this day. They are the worst of who democracy needs in the moment to protect and preserve the ideals that founded our very own country.
     Despite the republican betrayal on promised aid to them the Ukrainians are determined to fight on no matter what may come. More of them will and are dying because republicans are fools playing with fire. But nonetheless Ukraine fights on. I am saddened by the loss of heroic life but Ukraine will endure despite republican psychopathy. But I am also in admiration of their steadfast approach to the truly American ideal of democratic stewardship. They are fighting to preserve what our American forefathers/mothers established for us and the world should they choose. Well Ukraine chose our American democracy and they are showing the world and history that nothing is more important on any day of the calendar than to defend democracy at all costs.
