A Christmas Message - A True Story

Christmas in the post-War United StatesImage via Wikipedia
With all of the commercials and ads and internet sales and commercialism, sometimes we really forget what Christmas is about.  Yesterday was an interesting twist. 

I was driving in my car doing some last minute errands.  As I frequently do, I had the radio on and was listening to some music.  The Christmas songs were enjoyable.  Then I heard this:

And so its been said,
Many times many ways...
HONK HONK HONK HONK
(then in a computerized-mechanical voice)
This is a test of the emergency broadcast network...

I can't make this stuff up.

Merry Christmas everybody.  Please have a happy holiday secure in the knowledge that the emergency broadcast network is still alive to protect us in the event of a nuclear war! Can I get an amen?
