Don't tell me to be "happier person" or a "different person". Part of my bah humbug is in the militancy with which the "Christmas spirit" is stomped down everyone's throat. And if you call out the hypocrisy, you get accused of being anti social and cynical. Scrooge it!

I´m hoping to get pictures. Also, the Nativity scenes in our St John´s Cathedral are different each year and always worthwile.
I want to wish everyone here a merry Christmas. I hope everyone gets some time off work to spend with family and loved ones. Reach out to the ones you have been fighting with and make things right. The time you are given together is too short to push eachother away. Don’t shy away from family get-togethers because you don’t “do” Christmas. They don’t want gifts from you, you don’t have to be as excited for the holiday as they are, they just want your presence. I hope that everyone’s families become closer during this season and that whatever goals you have for the next year are accomplished. I hope that everyone can look past the exchanging of presents and the chaotic world around us, past the commercialized christmas, the financial stress of the season, and love the ones around them whatever their political belief, whatever their status in life, whatever they believe. I am a christian, and I have my own special reason for christmas and I have strong political beliefs that many disagree with, but I believe we are called to love everyone, regardless of if they believe differently. Christmas is not the time for political arguments with your family or disagreements about who does more for who, Christmas is the time to come together.What are your plans for Christmas? New years? What are your resolutions? Where would you like to see yourself in one year? Five years? How do you want to be remembered? Merry Christmas everyone. Stay safe, and I hope it is the best one yet!
