For those of us who celebrate Christmas, Hope you have a Merry one.

Those that celebrate something different (i.e. Hannakuh, Kwanza, Festivus, etc.), Happy Holidays!!!

If you don't celebrate nothing at all, I hope you at least have a good day.

For those of us who either always or sometimes, experience depression and/or anxiety this time of year, I hope you can find you some peace amidst it all.

If nothing else, take some time and appreciate those whom you cherish.

It reminds me of an amusing illustration by cartoonist Dan Piraro, the author of the comic strip Bizarro.

I can't seem to copy it here, so I'll just have to describe it to you instead.

City street setting. Snow-covered sidewalks. Christmas tree in a storefront window. Outside, two people walking past each other.

Woman shopper: "Merry Nothing!"

Male shopper: "Same to you!"

Caption reads: "Atheist Christmas"

Cool

Merry, Happy, Joyous WHATEVER you do!

As a Genetic-But-Recovered Christian, I still celebrate this time, but more as our ancestors did looong before "Christmas"; it is the joy of the passing of the winter solstice, when ever-so-gradually, returning light restores hope.

If you've seen this before, it's deserving of another go; if not, savor it. Cool

ATTENTION TO ALL PARENTS WHO NEED TO TELL THE TRUTH (or people who need to understand The Truth) ABOUT SANTA 🎅

Son: "Dad, I think I'm old enough now. Is there a Santa Claus?."

Dad: "Ok, I agree that your old enough. But before I tell you, I have a question for you. You see, the “truth” is a dangerous gift. Once you know something, you can't unknow it. Once you know the truth about Santa Claus, you will never again understand and relate to him as you do now. So my question is: Are you sure you want to know?"

Brief pause...

Son: "Yes, I want to know"

Dad: "Ok, I'll tell you: Yes there is a Santa Claus"

Son: "Really?"

Dad: Yes, really, but he's not an old man with a beard in a red suit. That's just what we tell kids. You see, kids are too young to understand the true nature of Santa Claus, so we explain it to them in a way that they can understand. The truth about Santa Claus is that he's not a person at all; he's an idea. Think of all those presents Santa gave you over the years. I actually bought those myself. I watched you open them. And did it bother me that you didn't thank me? Of course not! In fact it gave me great pleasure. You see, Santa Claus is THE IDEA OF GIVING FOR THE SAKE OF GIVING, without thought of thanks or acknowledgement.

When I saw that woman collapse on the subway last week and called for help, I knew that she'd never know that it was me that summoned the ambulance. I was being Santa Claus when I did that."

Son: "Oh."

Dad: "So now that you know, you're part of it. You have to be Santa Claus too now. That means you can never tell a young kid the secret, and you have to help us select Santa presents for them, and most important, you have to look for opportunities to help people. Got it?"
