What do you like about Christmas?

Luna

I know a while back we were saying about not liking Christmas much so I was just wondering what we do like about Christmas?

I woke up pretty early because my step sister Charlene was playing her Christmas music really loud lol. Actually Christmas music is one of the things I do like about Christmas, so long as it's played at a reasonable volume :) 

In small quantity I like Christmas sweets and I love the Christmas tree and decorations, but not the tree lights they upset my eyes.

I'll try not to go out at busy times though. Driving home yesterday I saw how crowded the streets were so will try and avoid it if possible.

  • The only thing I've really liked about Christmas since I was 30 apart from sometimes the giving of the presents (bah, humbug) is the actual message / idea itself. 

    I know a LOT of you are turned off by Christianity, and very few believe in it, but for those of you who missed it, I'd like to share the concept as I understand it, in simple modern day non-religious English because, if it's true, it is a genuinely lovely, lovely, idea.

    As human beings evolved from being cave-dwellers, nomads, whatever we were thousands of years go, moving towards having I-phones and Covid like the magnificent beings we are today, obviously the relationship between us and our creator also needed updating, about 2023 years ago...

    Now being the creator of all, must make the problems I have with communicating effectively with my cat, look like NOTHING, even for God. Demonstrably the human race is as thick as a brick! We all know that to be true, right?

    SO. God decided to meet us halfway, by giving us his only son. (out of wedlock! But that's HIS business, WAY above my paygrade, I'm just telling the story as I know it..)

    BIG Christmas present for the human race, and way better than all those floods and smiting. etc.

    As if that was not enough, The birth of Jesus represented a new deal for us and God. Now it was not just the Israelites who were chosen of God, it was anyone who took to their hearts the teachings of Jesus. That my friends, means people like you, and (possibly) me!

    SO that's what it's all about.

    It's the Idea of God, taking time out from doing other things, and intimately joining himself to the human race, by means of producing a son, to renew and "certify" the loving relationship that exists between created and creator. It must have been very hard for god to figure out a way that we could actually hurt him, then give it to us...

    Christmas is about Love guys, in all the three or four definitions that the Greeks have for it, and I hope as many of you get to give and receive some as you can.
