So, the state denominational
judicatory sent out its seasonal
e-greeting which goes something
like Merry Christmas followed
immediately by links to suicide
prevention hotlines in English
and Spanish along with practical
tips for surviving the holidays.
Helpful, yup, not very poetic but
helpful, kind of like mom telling
you “I love you. Now, put on your
rubber boots, wear the scarf we
gave you last Christmas and zip
up your jacket before you go out.”
