a slight rant if I may about Christmas. [View all]

[Justice wanted]

I'm not that old. I am in my 30s and I remember when the holiday season entailed not only Christmas eve and day but you still had decorations up and music playing and people still visiting with holiday warm wishes until at least New Years day and sometimes until Jan 6th.

Now at days it is all about marketing as early as possible and than the Day after Christmas take everything down and treated it as business as usual.


Too me it just seems the humanity of the whole entire Christmas/Hanaka (sp?)/ Yule all of it was a celebration of not only the upcoming spring but taking the time to reconnect with one another and reminding ourselves of the good humanity can bring.

I was talking to one of my younger cousins-teenager- who thought the 12 days of Christmas where the 12 days leading up to christmas and not the 12 days after Christmas.

Honestly the way things are done in general I'm surprise we even keep an obsolete holiday.

Really it is such a sad comintary on the United States now at days.

Please, don't mistake me for one of those "War on Christmas" Idiots I just think we have lost the general renewal of the human spirit.

Am I the only one feeling this way or should I get out of the past and just deal with it.
