Christmas Message from the Mises Blog

I hadn’t clicked into the Mises Economics Blog over the last few days, and, since the Christmas spirit has kept many individual bloggers from posting or posting only limitedly, I clicked over there a minute tonight.  Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr. posted a six paragraph Christmas message entitled “The Work of Freedom" that’s worth taking a look at.  The first sentence of the post,

"Look around and behold the blessings of freedom all around you."

is rounded out by the fourth paragraph,

"These blessings are not brought to you by the Department of Homeland Holidays or any political party. No force was involved in delivering them to your table or under your tree. Those who made them and sold them, and invested in their production in the first place, did so voluntarily and with the risk that there would be no payoff at all. Those who buy them are not compelled to do so but rather choose it to be this way. And all this cooperation via market exchange yields material blessings beyond description. This wealth brings us health, and the ability to be charitable to others."

Enjoy.
