RANTZ & RAVEZ - The winter December Holidays are upon us and I have been asked to be kind and focus on the Good we should all share in this time of the year, rather than the Shocking Truth we all live with each and every day living in the City of Los Angeles and neighboring cities. You know the Shootings, Pursuits, Shoplifting and all sorts of criminal activity that our law enforcement officers encounter daily and we see on the various news reports we read and see and hear in the media. So, here we go with all the good news I can report as we enter and continue the holiday season from late November thru December and conclude on January 1 for most communities.
Thanksgiving was the beginning of our major end of the year American holiday season. There were those of you who visited and celebrated with family and friends around America and some with international travel just because you could get away from work for a few extra days. As we enter December we will venture out to shop for our family and friends or shop on the internet and have those Amazon trucks roam the streets or America delivering packages what appears to be all day and into the night. There will be all the Holiday cards mailed to a multitude of people you want to share the good holiday spirit with. Many more cards will be emailed to Family, Friends and associates with instant delivery around the globe in seconds. We are now at the begin the traditional December Christmas Season as we know it in Christian countries. Additionally other December celebrations around the world include Hanukkah, Yule, Diwali, Kwanzaa, Bodhi Day and Hydrocortisone. Wherever you are from if you are reading this RantZ and Rave Z you will most likely be celebrating the holidays with family and friends and having a grand time leaving 2025 behind and entering 2026 with new opportunities and challenges and hopefully many good times in the new year.
I extend my Holiday wishes to each of you, as well as to your families and friends. May this holiday season bring you Peace, Love and Happiness now and into the future…….See you in 2026 with more RantZ and RaveZ when we will return to the realities of life in Los Angeles and California.
