What a great time of year.
This holiday is about friends, family, and the spirit of giving. It is not a religious holiday for me at all. Tim Minchin's feelings towards Christmas is quite similar to mine. Check out his Christmas Song.
I grew up with all the Christian holidays and have grown to enjoy the time spent with others I care about.
I always looked forward to going to the tree farm finding and cutting our tree down then getting peanut butter fudge, hot chocolate, and hot dogs. It always seemed to rain or snow on that day. Putting up the tree and decorating it was just as fun, while listening to holiday tunes with the smell of orange peels and cinnamon in the air.
The best is Christmas Eve night when the Bryan family gathers to partake in eating, sharing tales from the year, and exchanging gifts. How I love seeing my aunts, uncles, mom-moms, pop-pops, cousins, and friends.
So, in conclusion Christmas can be meaningful and worthwhile with all religious stuff.
