You have got to love all the hype surrounding the end of the Mayan Calendar! I am a Dooomsday Prepper but I did not spend 1 second worrying about it. I wasn't up all night waiting for, I don't know what, the big Kaboom, the aliens to abduct me into the sky or whatever was going to happen.
I enjoy all the comments made by those who mock doomsday preppers as if the end of the Mayan Calendar was what we all prepped for and are now seriously disappointed.
My family believes in being self-reliant to the fullest extent possible. There is peace and comfort in knowing that in times of financial reversal, natural disaster or calamity we are prepared to take care of ourselves and offer assistance to others. I don't know why that is such a radical notion. Americans come from a long line of farmers, hunters and pioneers who carved out a life in the wilderness. They harvested food and used methods to cure that food so they would have stores put up to feed their family through the winter and hard times. My favorite pioneer motto is "Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without."
My family and I feel very honored to belong to an extensive American heritage. They were resourceful, hard-working, God-fearing, freedom-loving people. During the Christmas season I can't help but be grateful to all of my ancestors and the legacy and example they provided to me.
