It's Christmas Day
Dec. 25th, 2011 10:35 amIt's Christmas Day and I want to send everybody on my flist my very best wishes. And that made me pause, ( cut for some semi-serious thoughts about greetings protocols, which you can jump over... )
I'm not a Christian, but I grew up in a country that has a Christian past and heritage. Christmas is the time when people who have family that they get on with, or friends they love, try their best to get together and celebrate that friendship and love.
I therefore wish my flist a Very Merry Christmas. And (with due respect and solemnity) a very happy (belated) Solstice, best (belated) wishes for Bodhi Day, early good wishes for Makar Sankranti, belated good wishes for Hanukkah and Ashura, early best wishes to Rastafarians and to Orthodox Christians for Christmas, early good wishes for Oshogatsu and for the Birthday of Guru Gobind Singh, an early happy new year, and to everybody, the best wishes of the season to you all!
