There's a vibe in the air around Christmas time. I've felt it less this year than last, perhaps because of the current state of world affairs. But its there. People are charged for...something. There is a goodwill that exists that people channel through the lense of Christmas more so than through any other day of the year.
That being said...its the most consumer driven holiday of the year. Businesses make a killing off it.
But for me, Christmas has always been a time to spend with family. I am not Christian, so it doesn't really hold the same meaning for me as it does for others. Christmas seems to me almost like Thanksgiving, but with presents. Families and friends get together and try to have a good time.
Incidentally, I made my blood sacrafice to Winter today. My own blood, the lucky deific git. The ice cut me somethin bad, almost took a good chunk out of one of my fingers. At least I didn't find the magic bean in my soup...
To those that practice Christmas in one form or another, Happy Christmas, and a joyous New Year. And now I go to bed.
...and I just had a whole new revelation about the Sugar Plum Fairy...and I am thus disturbed... |
