John Kasich of \u201cThe Heartland\u201d for national FoxNews has contacted our people to invite us to the Chicago studio tonight for an interview about The Real Mary<\/em> and The Nativity Story<\/em>. So, if you have time tonight between 8-9pm Central (they thought this segment would run from 8:30 or so on), give it a look. Knowing how news is, though, nothing is certain until it happens. It gives Kris and me a great opportunity to have a dinner down in the City and to see the Christmas lights of Chicago. Drumroll\u2026.
\nTonight is Festivus for Lukas and Annika. You may recall the story from a chp in The Jesus Creed<\/em>. Lukas and his buddies tired of organized Thanksgiving and Christmas family dinners, so they got their own one going: \u201cfestivus for the best of us and the rest of us.\u201d Well, they expect 150 guests today, a band will be there, and it is no longer the crude male dinner of meat and potatoes and pies and libations.
