December is here again with all it brings

Well it is December and the time to set aside to celebrate Christmas. Parties have begun and decorations are going up,  people are out buying a plethora of gifts. This is the time of year where traditions take over and general thinking stops. Questions like why am I actually buying all these gifts, or do I really want a big tree in my house? People who stop to ask these questions are generally considered Scrooges or strange but why? Why is it wrong to ponder why we do something?

If you attend a church the expected answer to any of these questions is, because it is the month we celebrate the birth of Jesus the Christ the one who came to seek and to save. But if you don’t attend a church or even believe in God why do you celebrate Christmas? Tradition! Celebrate because it is what you do. Okay…?  Like I said we truly don’t ask the correct question any more.

Why do you celebrate Christmas? Why do you spend more money than you should buying gifts that we honestly don’t need? I enjoy a good celebration but I generally like to know what I am celebrating and possibly even why. Regardless, enjoy the month and the parties. Celebrate, rejoice and raise your glasses high, it is Christmas after all.

Blessings
