When I see the "reason for the season" marketing slogans, I can't help but think of my Latin classes, where we discussed the use of the Saturnalia and Yule celebrations as "covers" for a Christian celebration of an event that probably happened at an entirely different time of year. <BR/><BR/>Advertisers are just using the same strategy of using a seasonal celebration as cover for their own agendas.<BR/><BR/>[As someone born on Dec. 25th, I have to say it was something of a relief to realize that the timing of Christ-mas was a matter of social convenience, and _that_ was why I was the "only" child who had to give things to _other_ people on my birthday...]Rhetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3688059507983441619.post-82020854900832962962008-02-23T07:37:00.000-08:002008-02-23T07:37:00.000-08:00This is such a nice post. I know I'm reading this later in the year but I really enjoyed what you had to say about the meaning of LIFE. That's what it's all about.

It was nice reading this specific entry in your website. =) Heartwarming that like me, you also feel the same thing about Christmas.<BR/><BR/>I'll leave a blog I made last December. Maybe, if you have time, you can read about it. It's jsut nice that somehow, we share the same beliefs in that aspect.<BR/><BR/>http://jazzyjean-jazzyjean.blogspot.com/2007/12/as-world-with-major-established-social.html<BR/><BR/>God bless.

I just finished watching a movie that helps me remember to keep Christmas in my heart year round. We can all use a friendly reminder. Here in Utah we love Christmas! Most of my friends would agree that keeping the right perspective of "the big picture" of life is best done on a daily basis so that those momentous occasions (as you so wisely pointed out) will indeed be handled well with love. Merry Christmas to a great person who is encouraging us all to reach deep within our souls and grab hold of the more noble desires of our hearts - and never let go.Lady Wahininoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3688059507983441619.post-12750093981772804552008-01-09T02:28:00.000-08:002008-01-09T02:28:00.000-08:00Hello.

We even had a slice of cake set next to the little figurine of Jesus in the manger.<BR/><BR/>I can't recall how we resolved the fights over who got to eat that piece.Brigidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03796317915330760325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3688059507983441619.post-78666768714484461952007-12-22T16:40:00.000-08:002007-12-22T16:40:00.000-08:00Great post!<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas!!!Snowlarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15460100866427427491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3688059507983441619.post-16702891702149944562007-12-21T04:07:00.000-08:002007-12-21T04:07:00.000-08:00MAM X,<BR/><BR/>MERRY CHRISTMAS!<BR/>:)DIVAShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05591585431361640166noreply@blogger.com
