Merry Christmas

Just wishing a Merry Xmas to all, and to all a Happy Hannukah and whatever. It is the most wonderful time of the year. Duality best describes the Christmas season, I think. Because everyone has the best intentions and wants to buy gifts for their loved ones, but at the same time were griping about how expensive everything is. Were rude to each other in traffic, people get pushy in crowded stores. Half of us are just shopping online because dealing with all the insensitive idiots drags us down into a depression. Oh and the awful Christmas music piped through everything with speakers. It's just too much, we have Christmas crammed down our throats as soon as Halloween is over nowadays. I can only hear Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer so many times before I find myself midswing in a homicidal rage. Everybody knows what Christmas is all about, The Birth of the Saviour, but almost none of us think of him when were ripping thru the wrapping, or tearing thru the parking lot for that last minute gift. Because we are so pressured by the people who sell Christmas, to buy and buy some more and dont forget to buy something for everyone, "Oh no, someone bought everyone two presents. That jerk isnt better than me, I'll go buy 3 presents for everyone on my list". Consume, consume, consume that is the true meaning of Christmas for the merchants and corporations. They are virtually the money changers in the temple. Christmas is supposed to be holy, they have cheapened it with their glitter and shiny baubles. I guess I should get to the point, it's ok to buy presents and sing Rudolph 47 times but please do everything you can to remember what this day is truly about. LOVE. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. He sacrificed for us, to save us. Because he LOVES us. So love your fellow man and really love with all your might your family. Cherish them now because they wont always be there. Merry Christmas.


P.s. To all you atheists, Merry Christmas to you too. Because even tho you do not recognize God, He still loves you.
