Hi, this is TheCandidConservative with today’s minute on a blessed Christmas…

Christmas means many things to many people.  For some its presents, family time, or just time out.  For others, it’s about Christ, spiritual connections, and good will toward men. Whatever Christmas means to you, it’s a good time to focus on a few priorities.  Holding the people you love a little closer is a no-brainer.  Holding your core values a little closer should be too.  Give yourself a Christmas present this year. Write a list of ten things you stand for.  Honesty, love, courage, maturity, liberty, civility, and responsibility might be examples.  Recommit yourself to keeping those values throughout the coming year.  In other words, stand for something you and others around you can count on.  It won’t be easy – being a good guy or lady never is.  But in a darkening world more devoted to dodging reality than addressing it, good people are going to become increasingly important.  Christmas is a time we’re tempted to give a lot of stuff to our loved ones. Giving them a better us may be the best gift of all.

I’m Dr. Carl Mumpower and you just spent a minute with a candid and blessed conservative…
