I've read too many cynical ones lately...It's such a great time to celebrate life, light, and joy. It doesn't matter what others have made of it; it's what we make of it ourselves.

The song... well, I've heard it now for 20 years--it put me in tears when I first heard it, live, and usually still does, live or CD.ogrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15910505029382522110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587459.post-57993112285624002312007-11-30T14:26:00.000-06:002007-11-30T14:26:00.000-06:00Thank you.

I was feeling a little guilty and not very UU about it, but not anymore I'm just going to embrace it. A UU friend/mom and I recently had a long converation about what we tell our UU kids about Christmas. It never even crossed my mind that my family would not celebrate Christmas, including Santa. Not for the commercial reasons, but for the spirit of giving, celebrating life and the even the magical in our lives reasons. In true Christmas geek form, I just spent my lunch hour running around to buy some paper to make this http://www.quietfish.com/notebook/?p=1244 Even though it has Christian overtones to Advent that I don't fully understand or appreciate, I thought my kids would enjoy a month of celebrating the season. I love the Sleigh Ride night, I'm thinking it will be a new family tradition for us as well.EmJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06665008590108479420noreply@blogger.com
