How do you view Christmas from your chilhood memories? [Spirituality & Religion]

After many annual cycles I return to those quiet unanswered questions in my life, why, how, when and where. I know I have some of the pieces, just like everyone else, but I wonder if in my haste to master life I have not thrown away some of the most necessary pieces to solve the basic questions of life. I do believe that no matter how bold I may have been the questions will all eventually be answer. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.
