@Polarbare99 I will wish my friends who celebrate it a happy Christmas though just as they wish me happy chanukah.

@JanaLovegood what is chanukah?
JanaLovegood · 22-25, F
@Polarbare99 Jewish holiday. Maybe you know it spelt like hannukah?

The only thing I don’t understand living on the west for a while now is if xmas is a religious celebration,how did Santa end up in the middle of it?🤔
Yes ... just read that .. it could be Coca Cola, that associated St Nick to Christmas .... they advertised it heavy for years

@questionWeaver I always thought it’s part of the culture brought by the British to the new world..They are mostly protestant(reformatus) aren’t they? I might be completely off on this one tho
British settled Virginia ... Santa seems to have showed up after 1901

Beyond the family gatherings and entertaining of tradition, and so forth, to me personally, Christmas has meant a sort of thanks giving, for having certain people in my life that I love and care about, a reflection on the stability and security I find myself in, and ultimately, a cosy nod to the years end and a new beginning.

It's a day with my family and some of them I only see once a year.
Christmas is magic ... peace ... and a fresh start every year

@Polarbare99 Very true! I am broke this Christmas, and so is my family, so we will be having Christmas in January.

@SW-User Christmas to me is not about shopping and getting things do you have brothers and sisters? I am a twin and have some lousy memories of Christmas as a kid

SW-User
@Polarbare99 Yes. I have two younger brothers.

For me it typically just means a lot of guilt because I don't like receiving gifts and I'd rather crawl in a hole and hibernate until it's over.
Yeah. I'm terrible.
