My opportunity to share my journey out of the closet to being a liberated christian gay man. Some of my experiences I hope will help me express myself clearer, and perhaps help someone else.

A Charlie Brown Christmas tradition. I have watched many of the Charlie Brown Holiday programs for years, along with Rudolph, and frosty.

That is not always easy to do though. You just do it as much as you have to in order to let it be.
