Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas... I hope Santa made it....

And I rested
upon a tree
because my friend is gone
and I'm sad and lonely.
I want to wake up
... and run and be free
I want to have a friend
who can talk a lot to me.
just those days it rains
and there are puddles in the street,
we'll stomp and jump, and laugh,
with wet shoes, and socks, and feet.

I was without you my friend
I could not see out to the sea
and I felt I was all alone
and you had abandoned me.
Therefore I walked through the woods,
feeling the earth beneath my feet,
and listen for the voice of wisdom,
In the air,
the leaves,
and the breeze.

My feet were wet once,
my eyes gave birth to tears,
I wanted a second chance
to be a friend in the upcoming years.
So with this, I say You are sweet
and more then a friend to me,
I'm your friend,
your brother,
your peoples
and you're the family to me.
In every where that we walk
and to everyone that we meet,
your brother,
a sister
grandmother,
you're my close family.


Merry Christmas.

I can't care less about the religious angle but I do like the family stuff. My problem is my business gets slammed at Christmas and, some years, it's high pressure and ruins everything. Other years things are more relaxed and I enjoy it very much.

Except trying to figure out what to get my wife.

Good point. I hardly think there are a whole lot of people left who truly celebrate Christmas for its religious significance anyway. For me it's just another holiday, followed by New Year's Eve a few days later, and all of that during a welcome vacation.

My point is that Christmas lost its meaning long time ago. And, you can't deny (highly dubious) religious background of it, whether some appreciate it or not is different matter.
Do we really need Christmas to be nice to each other, to see our families, to give gifts to each other?

It's a charade, a shopping holiday to keep society happy and momentum going.
Work hard, earn money, and this is what you get.
Take away that "gifting presents" part and guess what would happen.

Take a look at link DD posted, that's what its all about. Children getting presents and getting greedier every year.

For those who differ, you don't need Christmas.

(Sorry to hijack this for a sec.) I just hate the fact that it's "forced" on us all, that's all. It's like getting brainwashed over and over again.
 
Actually, I feel that way about almost all holidays. Thanksgiving here in the US might be the only truly non-gift giving, heartwarming, fun holiday left. Eventually someone will ruin that.

Christmas used to be as nice as Thanksgiving. If they would dump all the merchandising it could get back to that but that will never happen. While advertisers are mostly to blame, I do blame the so-called "news media" for pushing that agenda. News is now a marketing tool where, in the past, it was never considered a profit center.

I've thought we should just have one or two days off each month, like on the first or last day, and declare them national holidays. Let people run their (usually stupid) ads to remind you of their agenda/cause/memorial but don't keep me guessing what businesses are closed on that day.
 
I don't feel Christmas anymore :/ Christmas is a nice thing when you have family, Christmas tree and there is happiness on the air. You give and you take gifts, you eat on a big table with friends etc. I have no family. I have only my grand parents and they sleep at 9 o' clock and they are 93 years old. No Christmas tree, no big table, no happiness, no gifts :/ Xmas never came on my home even in my heart :/
