Christmas Day is the day the Christian world celebrates the
Birth of Jesus of Nazareth, the compassionate teacher
Who brought to the world the message that
God is Love.

Birth of Jesus of Nazareth, the compassionate teacher

It is also the time of year for Chanukah celebration,
For the solstice and for Kwanzaa…and other celebrations
I found this online:
Best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral, winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most joyous traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, but with respect for the religious persuasion of others who choose to practice their own religion as well as those who choose not to practice a religion at all; plus... A fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the generally accepted calendar year 2000, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions have helped make our society great, without regard to the race, creed color, religious, or sexual preferences of the wishes.

"Not caught up in the holiday spirit" Makes me think of the Grinch.
Just before Christmas I rented and watched
The Grinch Who Stole Christmas
And remembered the Grinch

"Not caught up in the holiday spirit" Makes me think of the Grinch.
Just before Christmas I rented and watched
The Grinch Who Stole Christmas
And remembered the Grinch
Who was not at all caught up in the season.
It stressed him out.
Somehow this season is often accompanied by a lot of stress.
I had forgotten it was Christmas season and wet shopping for a vacuum cleaner.
It was frightening.
And then I remembered the pepper spraying shoppers I read about.
It wasn’t pretty.
And yet it is a season intended to celebrate
Community, Compassion, Spiritual Renewal and so on.
I got to thinking about the Grinch,
And the stress that he felt because of how much the people of Who-ville
Were enjoying the spirit of Christmas… which he hated…
You may already know the story

You may already know the story
About how his reaction against the merriment of the season
Caused him to want to just squash it and destroy it
So he planned to steal Christmas
From the people of the village below where he lived
It is a great story about life
About not fitting in
About ruined expectations
