teleen_fictionTo those who celebrate it, :).
Myself, I celebrate the joy of family and the idea of Peace on Earth, Goodwill Towards Everyone. And I like decorating my Christmas tree and thinking about the stories and memories associated with all of the decorations.
The trappings of this time of year were taken from many different religions and traditions and I love picking and choosing what's applicable to me, just as the Romans did when they were first converting the pagans all those centuries ago.
That's the lovely thing about being human (and privileged) - one has the freedom and free will to choose what one cares for and leave the rest.
My heart goes out to those in places where that freedom to choose doesn't exist, :(.
Happy Holidays, everyone, :).
