That time of year again.

Ok, Santa came across the screen yesterday at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, so it’s officially (in my eye) the Christmas Season. Not that many people wait for that to happen as they use to. Things started popping up here in South Florida about a month and a half ago.

I still don’t like this time of year, aside from the music, as I very strongly feel that it is no longer in context of what it was started for. Aside from that, we are shown by history that Christ was actually born in June or July (from my vague memory of reading the text on that research), so why are we celebrating his birth in December?

We are WAY too commercial in our celebration of this season. Let’s get back to what the season is supposed to be about. I’m even not overly into the gift giving at the level it’s grown up to! Let’s get back to celebrating the gift of life (of Christ) and the growth of a new year, not the gift giving and hard feelings.
