Letter to Julia 20120529

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

**sniffle**  Yes, it's still the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show marathon on Shadowplay TV!!!!  **sniffle**  Hey, it's been a while since I've had the sniffles, hasn't it?  I think it's been about 6 months, would you know?  Why it's an issue is because I can't sing when my nose is stuffed up.  Now only do sinus fluids ruin my voice, but a lot of my voice comes out through the nose.  So the entire Shadowplay train comes screeching to a halt when I get a cold.  It was that raging storm from the west yesterday!  Plus the dust from my parents' bedroom.  But I am still able to sing.  For now.  InsyaAllah.

Anyway, The Boss instructs me to make a comment about the 2006 show, in particular the last walk titled "A Winter Wonderland of Glacial Goddesses".  What's in a word?  In this case, "goddesses" which is "pagan", is placed as equal to "angels", in the context of "Christmas", which pertains to "Christianity".  Perhaps people have forgotten back in ancient Rome what the pagans did to the Christians in the name of "entertainment", thus "so what?"  But in 2006, "goddesses", an element of paganism, is being infused as an element of Christmas, a celebration by Christians, in a popular form of mass media.  Oh, it's not Heidi's fault: it's the fault of the person(s) who wrote that line.  No, it's not trivial: do they have any respect for God?  But I'm not even a Christian, so I suppose it's none of my business.  But it does bother God, which makes it everyone's business.
