Several options have been posted. But if someone has been sucked into a false meaning, whose fault is that? [/quote] What's the "true" meaning? Please enlighten us. [/quote] "True" meaning comes from yourself. The day itself is inherently void of meaning. It is each of us who project meaning on to it. For some, the meaning is greed For some, the meaning is giving For some, the meaning is pagan For some, the meaning is celebration For some, the meaning is family For some, the meaning is spiritual Maybe the better question to ask, then, is, what does the day draw out of each of us?

What are we really saying, when we say Merry Christmas to each other? Merry Christmas to what? What is merry about one day out of the year? One freaking day? Really? This never made sense to me. Is merry christmas about giving and receiving love peace and joy? Then we should be saying merry christmas everyday and practice kindness, love and patience of each other everyday!!! What a joke.
We are a bunch of puppets, following a dumb tradition of spending money we don't have year after year, paying off your credit card the following year, only to repeat the same ole boring rituals...using our children used as pawns.
And the PTB are laughing all the way....Ho Ho Ho.
