Christmas doesn't mean as much to me as it did when I was a kid.
Now it means that gifts are sometimes bought and people who didn't really want or appreciate them return them.
I suppose that must be why the store to where I generally shop gives out "Gift Receipts" as they are called here along with the original receipt.

More of a spiritual view rather than a religious one:
A time for healing and renewing strength.

a deeply religious time that each of us observes,
in his own way,
by going to the mall of his choice."

It used to be a time for family to enjoy a great meal, share gifts and be with those you love. That's all changed so now Christmas is just a Christmas card.

When I was a kid it meant my dad would come for a visit and bring presents. I was always happy to see him. I was always hopeful that he would live with us but he never did. Come to find out years later that he was never even married to my mother. He still paid child support though which wasn't much, $37.00 a month for me and my brother.
He was an electrical engineer and a draftsman. He worked for Sonotone, a Co that made hearing aids. His experience with micro electronics led to him to a career with the Aerospace industry. He's gone now but a lot of his work is still in orbit on satellites. He also has servos he designed on the F16 fighter plane. Last time I saw him was in the mid 60's when he told me his side of the story. All my life I'd only heard my mothers side. It turns out when I used to anticipate his visit as an 8 YO kid, he was already married to another woman and had 3 sons one of which was also named Tom. My mother was little more than a P of A to him. I still loved him even though I hardly ever saw him. He was my dad and that's all that mattered.
I totally believed in Santa Claus and one day my friend Jimmy Donleavy and I had a long drawn out argument about if he was real. I didn't win.
Christmas to me had nothing to do with JC it was all about presents and seeing my dad.
I no longer celebrate Christmas because to me it's meaningless and to do so would make me a hypocrite..

Christmas means that time of year when everyone is just a little bit happier and little bit kinder to each other. It means hot chocolate with whipped cream and cinnamon, grandma's special gingerbread men, putting up the tree with my family, trips to Christmas Tree Lane, Christmas Carols, watching It's a wonderful life with my mom, and me and my brothers running around all Christmas eve night with jingle bells outside our little brother's window.

It means a lot. The opportunity to love and honor my parents to see my brother, sister, relatives, niece, nephews. To share the good news of the Lord with them and a time of affection and nice chatting with those I love. Moments where I can be on my bed talking with my family all together in a room sharing stories and playing, watching tv, cooking, helping one to each other. Lots of love, fun and time to consider having God in our lives for the rest of our existence!
