If you're reading this blog, you probably know that I don't have a close relationship with Jesus. Nothing against the guy - he seemed really great. But while sometimes spiritual, I'm not very religious. Partially because organized religion tends to be everything Christianity isn't (in my opinion) - but that was discussed in a previous blog (let me know if you would like me to revisit the issue).
ANYHOW - the point of my blog: what the holiday season means to ME. There's something about this time of the year that makes me more generous, kind to strangers, and eager to gather with friends and family. I can even tolerate holiday music, for the most part.
What is it that makes that happen? Thanksgiving, followed by the "Christmas" season, immediately followed by New Years (new beginnings, fresh start, celebration). It's the triple whammy of goodness. Unfortunately it lasts until early January and people go back to being selfish assholes. I wish someone could figure out how to bottle the feeling... then force everyone to take a few teaspoons a day.
Really looking forward to the next several weeks!
