The meaning of Christmas.....

Christmas.   Again.  

As a non believer I have to find other reasons why Christmas is special to me.  I have many, thankfully.  I have memories of the joy I experienced growing up and waiting for "Santa" to come.  I love seeing this and experiencing this through my childrens eyes.  This morning my kids woke up and pitter pattered into the the living room and read their letter from Santa.  They were so excited.  I wanted to cry.  We then sat and opened presents and giggled with excitement and enjoyed being together.  This is what it is about to me....Traditions....Creating traditions. 

I dont need a God to experience the love and excitement of Christmas.  I enjoy the family and togetherness the holiday brings.  Don't get me wrong....Im glad that I have friends that embrace their Gods.  Congrats to the communities you guys seem to create rather then the opinions I seem to get when I say I dont believe.  I just think I should point out though in a non judgemental way that I too had a nice Christmas.  I experienced it my way.   I too have nice Easters..I just prefer to laugh about the Easter Bunny pooping chocolate eggs instead of the religious aspects.  Maybe its just me......   Merry Christmas All...Peace.
