    Default The Meaning of Christmas

    My wife and I were discussing the "meaning" of Christmas for people. She is Catholic, so Christmas actually has a "birth of Christ" meaning to her. For me, it is not religious in the slightest. Rather, it is a traditional day for feasting, sharing, reflection on friends and family, and a focus on general celebration...but not tied into religion at all. I do find it interesting that we have a holiday that started out as a religious holiday, but has so many different meanings.

    SO....what does it mean to YOU?

    I with you on that one. It has no religious meaning to me at all. I wasn't raised that way, but dropped my Roman Catholic religious ways years ago.

    It means getting depressed as hell because it's a reminder of having spent this holiday by myself too many times.

    Means shitty traffic, packed stores and laughing at the people rushing around for gifts. We Jews find this "Christmas behavior" quite amusing.....



    Because there ain't no tits on the radio

    Family decorating the tree, family getting excited about the gift pile growing under the tree, risking broken bones to get lights on the house that I don't give a crap about but everyone else does, insipid music, nice music, bad traffic, passing out bonuses and showing appreciation to the people making money for me, three-day weekend, lots of cooking and baking, sending out cards.

    And we're not religious, but we just might go to a local church that has a choir loft. When Handel's Messiah is done right, and the Hallelujah chorus fills the Gothic arches, it's like an exquisite display of virtuosity in any other arena - just can bring a tear to the eye.
