One week until Christmas!

Matt · 12-18-2007

Do you celebrate? What is Santa bringing you? What have you bought for other people? How are you feeling? Excited, happy, stressed, impatient?

I'm trying to get in the spirit of things this year.

Well my family doesn't celebrate so I guess you could say that I don't celebrate. Nothing from Santa and I haven't gotten anything [as far as presents go] for anyone else. The only thing I've gotten are some cards that I might write out to some people. It'll feel like any other normal day. How about you?

All of my Christmas shopping has been done online again this year. I'm actually facing the beginnings of a new generation of kids in the family as my siblings' kids are reaching breeding age and I now have 2 grand-nephew/nieces. Buying a present for a one month old - that was interesting!

I'm mostly waiting for it to be over. I'm not a Christian, so the day doesn't hold any particular significance for me outside of the fact that the rest of my family celebrates it.

All the xmas shopping is driving me mad. Still not finished but hopefully will get the last of it done tomorrow. I don't start enjoying it until Christmas eve when the celebrations start and the work finishes.

Christmas trees aren't Christian either, but I hear about atheists who get pissed about them being on government property.

Christmas was originally a celebration of the winter solstice here in Denmark. Still many people celebrates it that way here, i believe. At least thats what we do in my family. We don't sing religious songs, we don't go to church and we don't in any way blend in any religion.

We do have a christmastree though, and we give each other presents too.

To me (and my wife and three kids) it's more a time for cosiness and having the opportunity to spend more time together.
