I had to sit down the other night and decide what the essential elements of Christmas are to me. Now, most people on planet Earth will say "The celebration of the birth of Christ," or some jazz like that. Being atheist, it seems hypocritical that I still celebrate Christmas. Hence the soul searching.
I just sat down with my journal, a pen and started doodling and scratching words with no plan, just putting thoughts on paper.
It's not a revelation by any respects but I know why I still do deck my halls every year. It is because my family does, and it is the best time of year for us. We all gather at my folk's house on the eve, play games, laugh and have fun just being with each other. We still get together for other occasions, but Christmas just seems that much more special.
