Merry Christmas!
I think in all the craziness of living in these times we lose the meaning of Christmas. People are caught up in the materialism, the consumerism, the political correctness, the anti-religiousness, the politics, the take-sides, the obligations...
Christmas is the recognition of living in love. Not romantic love, not touchy-feely, kum-by-ya... Living in love is recognizing that we are all ... ALL...one in a state of striving to be better beings. Acknowledging that we are better by treating everyone AS WE WOULD WANT OURSELVES TO BE TREATED. Acknowledging a higher purpose to our thoughts and actions because they are one and the same. You can express your love by giving to others, helping others, sharing with others, whether in thought or deed.
Is Christmas forced on people? No, participate if you want. If you choose not to participate don't force others to bend to your non-participation because others have the right to choose to participate for themselves. Be in your own state of love to allow difference from yourself.
The opposite of love is fear in many different forms (hate, segregation, us-vs-them). A lot of people live in fear and don't recognize it. Have the freedom and the courage to live in not-fear.
So again, Merry Christmas to everyone. Celebrate the love in you.
Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster
