Ahh, the holidays, no matter where or what they are, are really not about the traditional roots that they might stem from, nor should they be.  Perhaps they started as, or became, religiously important, and perhaps they still are.  These ideas about holidays, especially Christmas, are not really important: how we celebrate is not as important as what we celebrate and why we celebrate.

Typically holidays are the time when families get together; sometimes, holidays include friends that may be alone.  Holidays are a good excuse for doing something good, putting our self’s aside and thinking of others, or giving to a charity.  All of these things are what matters, no matter why we do them; maybe we should celebrate the chance to be with those who are important to us, and to help those who cannot do the same.

Want to pray and celebrate religious beliefs?  Do it, but do it with those you love.

Want to eat and argue?  Fine, but do it with those who matter to you.

Want to roll your eyes in cynical apathy?  Great, roll them with your best friends or those who need a best friend.

Merry Quansihonikus!!!!  Eat, drink, argue, forgive, and smile.
