"Remember the reason for the season"

Winter Solstice?
Saturnalia?
Mithra's Birth? -( Mithra the Sun God had his birthday  later stolen by Christian rulers when they couldn't suppress the annual gift giving and celebrations associated with the previous widespread religious practices - although they tried D@mn Hard.)

oh well.

I'm just smiling & biting my tongue. 

Happy Holidays for WHATEVER you are currently celebrating even if it is just celebrating in a day off from work!

Yeah, Merry Whatever! Make your own reason. (I like the trip-around-the-sun version myself.)

Have a good one. :)

I gotta say, that sappy story about the poor kid in the stable really puts a crimp in the Xmas atmos.

I celebrate the commercial Christmas, because... I like presents. Shallow? Yes. But true.

So Santa (not St. Nick) and his elves and his reindeer (and presents) are the reason for my season. It uh, kinda ticks people off when you respond with 'The reason? Oooooh, you mean buying my husband the PS3 he's always wanted so I get to play Gran Turismo 5 and drive the Top Gear test track? Don't worry, I'm so not forgetting that!'

Oh! And eggnog. With Southern Comfort in it. TOTALLY a part of the season!

Happy Holidays!
